I saw Night at the Museum a couple of years ago when it first came out. It's not one of my favorites, but I'm listing it here because it is still a fun watch if you don't expect too much out of it. It's also very kid friendly.
Night at the Museum is the story of a down-on-his luck divorced father named Larry who just can't seem to hold a job. When Larry finally lands a job as a night guard at The Museum of Natural History he gains some hope. One thing that the night guards who hired him failed to mention however was that the entire museum comes to life when the museum closes. The next thing Larry knows hes facing tiny armies of cowboys and romans, Egyptian mummies, a T-Rex skeleton and a monkey who taunts him to the breaking point. With the help of Teddy Roosevelt Larry must learn to get the museum under control so that ultimately he can save it.
Night at the Museum is often more silly than it is funny and seems to fall a bit short of it's potential. The premise of everything in the museum coming to life after dark is just amazing but the execution was kind of weak. Kids will probably enjoy watching this while parents can probably take it or leave it.
