 | Studios: | 20th Century Fox |
| Release: | December 22, 2006 | |
| Genre: | Comedy, Kids/Family and Adaptation | |
| MPAA Rating: | PG for mild action, language and brief rude humor. |
For a movie that has Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, whose other PG rated films have really rude humor and sexual innuendos, Night at the Museum is surprisingly more kid oriented than teen/young adult oriented. Which is actually nice.
As already shown in the trailer, the museum characters come to life at night ... and although it is a heart-stopping, terrifying realization for anyone to witness for the first time, especially when the Huns start running after you, this does not turn into a horror movie like those others that feature wax museums.
The war between the cowboys and the Romans was hilarious and Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt was fun, although I'm not buying the romance he develops for Sacajawea (didn't feel sparks there). Didn't like the monkey much either. The monkey antics were plain annoying.
Stiller does a nice job of playing the down on his luck dad trying to keep things together and retain his rights over his kid. In this movie, he plays the straight guy to whom the funny things happen, not the comic.
