Amazon.com:
An irresistible concept meets computer-generated wonders in Night at the Museum, inspired by a 1993 children's book by Milan Trenc. Ben Stiller stars as Larry Daley, an underachieving inventor waiting for his ship to come in while getting evicted from one apartment after another for lack of funds. Larry's son needs some stability, so the well-meaning ne'er-do-well takes a job as night watchman at New York City's Museum of Natural History. What the soon-to-retire guards (Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Bill Cobbs) don't tell him is that an ancient pharaoh's tablet in the museum causes everything on display to come to life at night. Thus, Larry meets representations of Teddy Roosevelt, Attila the Hun, fire-worshipping cavemen, and Roman Empire soldiers, and learns to cope with an excitable T-Rex and man-eating, ancient animals. The film might have left things at that, but an added story element gives Night at the Museum some extra urgency and excitement, especially for kids: Larry becomes responsible for keeping this nightly miracle going and preventing anything in the museum from dying due to exposure to sunrise. Computer effects, as well as wildly imaginative costumes and makeup, help make the film appeal to the 8-year-old in everyone. Director Shawn Levy (The Pink Panther) works with a hugely talented cast, including Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Ricky Gervais, Carla Gugino, and Steve Coogan. --Tom Keogh
On the DVD
The delightful package of special features on Night at the Museum (Two-Disc Special Edition) logically focuses on the film's many effects and unique needs. Featurettes and little narratives on various niche aspects of Night's production abound. Among them is 'Bringing the Museum to Life,' an overview of star Ben Stiller and the rest of the cast's vivid imaginations while they reacted to conditions and characters that were not actually present at the time of shooting. Director Shawn Levy is very much the star in this clip, as it turns out the hands-on filmmaker was unabashed about standing in for such computer-generated creations as Rexy, the T-Rex skeleton that comes to puppyish life in the feature. Levy shines, too, in 'Directing 101' (which has more footage of him running around like everything from a horse to a fierce friend of Genghis Khan) and 'Fox Movie Channel Presents: Life After Film School,' the latter a half-hour segment from the cable channel’s ongoing series in which film school students interview folks already in the business. (The Levy show is really a pleasure.) 'Monkey Business' takes a look at the training of the little monkey whose character vexes Stiller’s overwhelmed hero to an extreme. A blooper reel is full of hilarious gaffes, the best of which finds Stiller and Ricky Gervais pretty much incapable of getting through a single scene without losing it. 'Building the Museum' answers the question: Did they actually shoot that thing inside a real museum? (The answer: no, which makes the set even more impressive.) 'Historical Threads' takes a look at costumes, while trailers, extended scenes, a commentary track by Levy, and a DVD-ROM game ('Reunite with Rexy') give a viewer lots to do here. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - funny!
The acting, the special effects, and writing are all great! It's so funny! And I like the way the plot about Lary trying please his son and ex-wife is connected to the museum plot.
Rating: - Great Movie!
This movie is great for the whole family. I brought it for my daughter and found that I actually watch it more than she does. The movie was in a very good condition, the price was great, I definitely give my thumbs up.
Rating:  - freddy Krueger is funnier than ben stiller
seriously, ben stiller should retire from comedy because i definatly believe its not for him, the only reason people think his movies were funny or even successful is because everything else in his movies were funny except for him, as in he had so much help in his movies to make him a star.
His personality is definatly not funny at all, he is nothing like other amazing comedians like robin williams(which was one of few good things in this movie),eddie murphey or even action stars like jackie chan who arn't even comedians but still do have a good sense of humor without having to try too hard.
ben is a very bad comedian but he's not the worst, that would have to be a tie between tom green and that guy from saturday night live (forgot his name, maybe its a good thing too)
so ben stiller, maybe you should be in a horror movie or something because i found "a nightmare on elm street" so much funnier than any of your movies.
Rating: - Night at the Museum
I don't think this film could be any better ! I laughed , laughed , laughed so on.......
Rating: - Welcome to Lilliput and have a big gigantic laugh
Do not expect an intellectual and highly educational film. It is not. It is a sentimental comedy, all in all. You will learn that you cannot trust old people who are ready to commit a crime whose guilt will be attributed to someone younger, and that only because they want to make some money to expand their old age pension slightly. You will learn that you must not trust appearances and that what looks pretty dead is nothing but alive and what looks pretty alive is nothing but wax or stuffed artifact. You will also learn that when one wants one can always dominate a situation as soon as there is an emergency because any emergency will mobilize everyone towards the only goal of saving the day and seizing the chance that is going by. You will also learn that only a father can make a miracle when he is trying to impress his own son. And all the rest is nothing but trashy exhaust waste water, especially what mothers may say and mothers' boyfriends along with them. History and natural history are two very vivid and lively subjects even if their museums are generally boring and dying with and of boredom. But the film is funny, indeed, and it is full of surprises from beginning to end. It is true also that dinosaur footprints on Broadway or 5th Avenue help a lot to bring some visitors to a dead museum that everyone considers a wasteland till the day when some gigantic animal escapes from it. You will also love the Pharaoh. He is young, attractive and he even speaks Hun, if such a language exists.
