Night At The Museum (2006) 6/10

Starring : Ben Stiller, Carla Gugino, Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Ricky Gervais, Robin Williams
Director : Shawn Levy
Running Time : 104 mins

This was actually quite entertaining, and Robin Williams wasn't in it enough to spoil the film. Ben Stiller plays a divorcee who takes a job at a museum to try to make his spoilt-brat-of-a-son proud of him. On his first night there he discovers that an ancient Egyptian curse brings all the exhibits to life during the night, and it's his job to make sure no-one escapes. Unfortunately, some of his co-workers have other plans for the golden tablet which contains the curse...

Although this was entertaining, and featured a number of cameos including memorable performances by Steve Coogan and Owen Wilson, I think this is mainly aimed at young children who are sure to find it both enchanting and informative.
