    • Trivia
      The real-life American Museum of Natural History had 20% more visitors during the holiday season following this movie's opening.
    • Goofs
      Theodore Roosevelt was known to have a high-pitched, squeaky voice due to being a severe asthmatic. However, Teddy explains that he is a wax figure of Roosevelt designed to appear very heroic, so it makes sense that he'd have a deeper, more resonant voice, not unlike Robin Williams.

      Easter Island Head: HEY!

      [pauses]

      Easter Island Head: Dum-dum.

      Larry: Yes?

      Easter Island Head: You give me gum-gum!

      Larry: I give you gum-gum?

      Easter Island Head: You new Dum-dum. You give me gum-gum.

      Larry: Gee, okay, you know what? I have no gum-gum. Sorry. And my name isn't Dum-dum. My name's Larry.

      Easter Island Head: No, your name Dum-dum.

      [some people are running away]

      Easter Island Head: Oh, you in trouble, Dum-dum. You better run-run. From Attila the Hun-hun.

      [Attila yells and chases Larry]

      Easter Island Head: See you later, Dum-dum!

    7/10

    Fun and entertaining family film.

    True, it is overlong, some parts are a tad slow particularly the beginning, and it was let down by bad marketing, but on the whole Night At The Museum is a fun and entertaining family film. Some of it is very, very funny, not hilarious, just funny, and Ben Stiller gives a very good account of himself as Larry. The museum characters are very well designed, and it was when they came to life when the film let itself go. Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney are great fun in their roles, but my favourite has to be Robin Williams as Theodore Roosevelt, in one of his more entertaining "recent" films. Plus the story is imaginative and fresh.

    All in all, I've said this more than once already, a fun and entertaining film, flawed it is, but very enjoyable family viewing. 7/10 Bethany Cox
