Night at the Museum (Widescreen Edition) [DVD]

My kids ask to watch Us all the time. So it was much easier to buy it and they loved the movie

This was my husbands choice for date night. Cute movie.

Grandchildren lived it.

This is a great movie for kids. It's very entertaining and brings curiosity to kids regarding historical figures shown throughout the movie.

BEN STILLER is an actor I know mainly from his performance in THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY, but I suspect that ADAM SANDLER might have been an even better choice to play Larry, the failed inventor who has to prove to his son (JAKE CHERRY) that he can hold down a job that won't force them to move once again to (gasp!) Queens.Stiller is OK in the role but never totally engaging enough to carry the film, as he must. There are plenty of other supporting roles, all doing pretty light duty except for ROBIN WILLIAMS who makes an excellent wax version of Teddy Roosevelt and inhabits the role as an actor rather than a flip comedian.And no mistake about it, the premise is a wonderful one, with dioramas and historical figures coming to life at the American Museum of Natural History, all enhanced by some incredible CGI effects that are jaw-droppingly real. Unfortunately, most of the humor involving sight gags and hokey dialog is sophomoric in nature.Nice work by DICK VAN DYKE, MICKEY ROONEY and BILL COBBS as old-timers being forced out of their job by newcomer Stiller, all three with an agenda that is not revealed until midway through the story and makes for a very manic explosion of movement for the finale.RICKY GERVAIS is excellent as the tongue-tied manager at the museum, and RAMI MALEK, OWEN WILSON and STEVE COOGAN are excellent as museum figures come to life.Kids should get a howl out of it and adults will find some pleasure in seeing some of the veteran actors do their thing.Alan Silvestri's busy background score is remarkably effective in capturing the mood as well as the manic moments.Summing up: Worth seeing for the CGI effects alone. You may never look at a museum the same way again.

Great movie to watch wit the kids, all ages can enjoy this movie.

Hilarious!

Enjoyed, fun

This is not a review for the movie but for the DVD that is being sold on Amazon.in. This DVD is region 3, which does not work on Indian DVD players nor will work on US DVD players. It will work in SE Asia (Singapore, Malaysia etc). Not quite sure why this DVD region is being sold in India.
