Full Plot Details

In New York, unemployed and divorced Larry Daley is a complete loser. His son Nick is very disappointed with his father who is going to be evicted. Larry accepts the job of night watchman in the Museum of Natural History and takes the place of three old security guards that have just retired in order to raise some money and pay his bills. On his first shift, Larry soon realizes that everything at the museum is not as it seems as the statues begin to come to life after the sun sets. The Museum transforms into complete chaos with the inexperienced Larry in charge as he learns that an old Egyptian stone that came to the Museum in 1950 brings these statues to life until dawn. When Larry brings his son to spend a night with him, the three old guards break into the Museum to try to steal the magical stone. Larry organizes all the historic characters to help him stop the criminals and save the museum.

Movie Reviews

Detroit News - 9/10 by Tom LongNight at the Museum is not just a wild runaround of computer-generated creatures. Well, OK, that's mostly what it is. Still, there is something of a plot.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) - 9/10 by Bob BloomThis is basically a movie for youngsters, who will enjoy watching a T-rex skeleton scampering around the museum like a big puppy.
Arizona Republic - 9/10 by Bill MullerIt's never too late to enjoy a little holiday fantasy, such as spending a Night at the Museum.
Montreal Film Journal - 9/10 by Kevin N. LaforestIt would be at home on the same marquee as Gremlins, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 9/10 by Chris HewittThe oft-humiliated Stiller is in familiar territory (a monkey named Dexter does the humiliating here), but Museum has a sweetness most of his movies don't.
Buzzine Magazine - 9/10 by Staci Layne WilsonIt won't change cinematic history, but Night at the Museum is a frothily fun film for the holidays.
E! Online - 9/10 by Alex MarkersonNight at the Museum's sense of wonder, cynical and calculated though it may be, does give it some-dare we say?-social value.
Hollywood.com - 8/10 by Kit BowenBen Stiller and gang still manage to give the delightfully entertaining Night at the Museum a little edge.
Can Magazine - 8/10 by Fred TopelNight at the Museum is the story of an ordinary guy given the opportunity to be extraordinary, but the movie itself is just an ordinary Ben Stiller vehicle.
Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) - 8/10 by Gina CarboneFor all the money it must've taken to get the effects and the cast, make sure you let your funny people be funny.
