Night at the Museum (DVD, 2007, 2-Disc Set; Special Edition)

What a Great Rental!!!! Unfortunately I bought it when it came out. It was just OK. Not really funny. We began watching & saw all these Fantastic Actors they got to play in this. I thought, This is going to be good! But like I said it was just OK. Partly the way it was filmed I guess. Ben Stiller wasn't reacting like you would think someone in a Museum like this would have. He was more the 'Boy this is weird' type. The Whole Idea with the movie was Awesome! It just didn't flow right. This is one that the whole time watching you know its a movie! I did Love the miniatures though!

This is a great movie for people of all ages. If you are a fan of Ben Stiller you will definitely love this movie. It is a very funny movie and keeps you attention at all times. Puts a strange yet funny twist on what it is like at a museum after day. I definitely recommend this movie.

This was a great fun, family-oriented movie. You probably already know the story line: a museum where everything inside comes to life each night. There have already been some good reviews that touched on many important parts; the fact that it is very family friendly, a touch of history (not a lot, but it's there), and a lot of good clean humor.
There are a few things that I really liked about the movie that have not yet been touched on here.
The story is really about a divorced dad trying to maintain his relationship with a son he only sees a couple of times a week due to the divorce. While this is a common story in movies, I like the fact that it portrays a family where, though divorced, the parents remain civil toward each other and have the interests of the son in mind.
On a lighter note, this movie really has some big actors playing smaller parts. The biggest part is by Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt. I think he did a great job at the role, and blends into it as only Williams can.
Overlooked is the parts of the other three security guards. These are really some legends in acting. I really liked the spunky part played by Rooney, and it was great to see him on the screen again.
Overall this is a wonderful show to be watched again and again. My family saw it twice in theaters, and my 3 year old has watched the DVD several times over now (as long as I can keep her fingerprints off the DVD).

A good father-son movie, funny, energetic, and amusing.
Full of computer generated animation and animatronics, but the plot is actually simple.
The night guard character demanded Stiller to do a lot of physical activities and screaming, but all in all he did well.
Overall, the movie is funny and worth watching, it is a great family movie.

Night at the Museum is a movie about unemployed Larry (Ben Stiller) and him desperately wanting the respect of his 10 year-old son. Larry takes a job at the Museum of Natural History to try to gain some stability and keep a place close to his son. When Larry decides he finally wants to make this job stick, he uses clever and interesting ways to keep the peace and destruction down to a minimum. The “advice ridden” and responsible presence of Robin Williams was great. Robin was toned down and believably smitten with Sacagawea. The film is filled with excellent CGI museum displays running amuck and wandering the halls. There was so much to see I’m sure the family will enjoy this movie much more upon DVD re-viewing. In the theater, my 6 year-old son cheered aloud when he saw Owen Wilson (Shanghi Knights, Shanghi Noon, Cars) as a cowboy with his feelings on his sleeve. With him was Steve Coogan (Around the World in 80 Days) and also present briefly is Paul Rudd (Clueless). I have to admit that the presence of an actor named Ricky Gervais as the Museum director seemed to have a “cameo feel” I just didn’t get. He received way too much screen time and attention, especially for someone I had no idea who he was, coupled with the fact that he was totally unfunny and a bad actor to boot… well, it was painful to watch. The three old guys playing the former security guards were just that, the director could have saved some money and cast just one, although hearing Micky Rooney (The Black Stallion) calling Ben Stiller “butterscotch” was pretty funny. I missed the chemistry between Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller present in their other movies (Zoolander, Meet the Parents), probably due to the fact that because of the special effects, neither really shared screen time. Owen and Steve did sneak in some funny references to other movies that the kids definitely won’t (probably for the best, shouldn’t) catch. Don’t forget this is a FAMILY film and you will like this movie.

Natural history lesson and the kids are entertained too, whats not to love. Did I mention that this is a Ben Stiller movie! Family entertainment at its best!

thanks again for making it easy for us to buy good products on ebay i'm very pleased with your service

for anyone who loves history u have to get this movie it is gonna be great for the family and i cant wait to see the 2nd one this is gonna be a classic and robin williams was GREAT

The first time I saw Night At The Museum I couldn't believe how good it was. MInd you, I have the attention span of a 5th grader and love the little things in life. This movie was fun to watch and made me wish I could go to the museum. It's a great family movie and a keeper for sure.

My son had one and seems to have lost it. He has autism and loves to watch movies over & over. He also thoroughly enjoys the extra information given on the 2nd discs.

This is such a fun, family movie. My boys have watched it over and over again! Would highly recommend!

Suspend your adult imagination and get ready for fun! This film can be enjoyed by any age person. The exhibits in the Museum of Natural History all come alive at night and the resulting chaos is amazing.

The cast is quite good and it is very nice to see some favorites reappear.

The story line is minor compared to just watching what is going on. The outcome is very upbeat and all in all quite a nice viewing experince. I am so glad I purchased this film!

It is real funny! And it does have closed caption (as subtitle english captioned) included. It is real funny! And it does have closed caption (as subtitle english captioned) included.

The first time I saw this movie I rented it. At first I couldn't grasp what it was about but then towards the middle of the movie it hit me! I had to watch it to the end and turned around and watched it over again. The first time around it was funny, the second time around it was funnier.

I really enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to anyone with a sense of humor. The main character Ben Stiller in other movies, this was an additional inspiration to want to watch what he comes out in next! Very clean family-oriented movie that wins 4 stars or more in my book!

Watch and enjoy!!

Ben Stiller has a joyful time in a living museum. It a film for the entire family and bring youth back into mature audiences.

My kids love night at the museum . I hope they made night at the museum part 2 someday . We watch about everyday or nite . its so funny on some part of the movie

My boys (4 and 7) LOVED this movie. We rented it so many times, I just bought it. They love the physical humor, the big dinosaur, and the magic of everything coming to life at night. It was kinda scary the 1st time we watched it, but the kids ask to watch it again and again.

Funny and entertaining for my whole family. They still put in a few words that I would have rather they left out for the kids, but all-in-all one of the best family flicks of recent years. No one dies to move the story along, which is a pleasant change from Finding Nemo, Lion King, The Incredibles, etc.

Worth a look, even if you don't usually like Ben Stiller's way over the top kind of humor. That's toned-down for the younger range of viewers. Plus Mickey Rooney is hilarious as the crabby security guard!

Won bid in june, mailed money order, i still have not recieved dvd, i emailed seller, no response. slo

There was quite a delay in receiving this item and it has a few flaws in the viewing with some interruption of the image. I loved the movie when we saw it in the theater and ordered it so my grandchildren would be able to see it again as well.
