Goofs:
Factual errors: In the museum the Neanderthal display has Neanderthals in front of a bunch of wood. Also, Larry refers to the Neanderthals being on a quest for fire. This is wrong. The ability to build a fire was mastered before the Neanderthals, by one of the most early human species, Homo Erectus. more

A fun flick!, 16 December 2006
6/10
Author: dark_lunar_wolf from Ireland

I got to see a showing of Night at the Museum last night. I was impressed by the trailers and I got really pumped when I saw people like Stiller, Wilson, Robins, Rudd and more famous comedian actors like Gervais in it.

The movie starts out slow but picks up once Stiller's character enters the museum. Once he enters the chaos begins.

The movie has it's up's and downs. Sometimes it feels like it was trying too hard to be funny. Don't get me wrong this movie is filled with laughs such as the Stiller and the monkey slapping each others face which made me laugh my ass off. Night at the Museum felt like a pattern to me, no funny parts to little giggles and then the movie would make you laugh so hard.

All the famous faces really brought charm to the movie and I don't think it would have work well with anyone else.

Night at the Museum is a fun movie worth seeing but not a movie you will be looking back on in 10 years time.
