DVD Review:
Night at the Museum




Ben and I rarely rent movies. We usually prefer to spend our evenings reading books or working on the computer. However, last night was rainy, cold and quiet --- the perfect type of night to snuggle up with a big bowl of popcorn and a good video. Ben popped out to the movie store and returned with Night at the Museum.

What a great show! Night at the Museum is clean, silly and entertaining. This movie is imaginative and downright fun. Ben Stiller's character, Larry, is hired as a night watchman at the Museum of Natural History. Larry quickly learns that he does not work at an ordinary museum. At night time the museum exhibits come to life! On his first night Larry is chased by a ferocious T-rex skeleton, tied to railroad tracks by tiny American settlers, and teased by a mischievous monkey, among other misadventures.

The plot of Night at the Museum is simple. The movie teaches several great lessons about perseverance, friendship, and the value of history. The show is squeaky clean and is suitable for older children to watch. (Some of the action scenes are too intense for young kids.) Larry's museum is fun and entertaining --- a great place to spend a lazy Saturday night.

Interested in your comments re the movie. I saw the previews when it first came out, but that's as far as i got. We aren't too hep on the movies as so many of them are not "clean" and listeneing to a bunch of 4 letter words is not considered entertaining!!
I am absolutely spanking new at this Blog thing but thought it would be fun..... and it is
Thanks for the run-down in the movie
