CRITIQUE & REVIEW: “Night at the Museum" a hoot


Night at the Museum is a very entertaining movie with a neat concept. But I am left with the feeling that they could have done so much more with it. The movie will most likely make a bunch of money and require a sequel. Maybe in that movie they can really get into the idea of inanimate objects coming to life after hours in a deeper way. It is well worth the money to see it on the big screen but a wait for DVD is fine.


Look: 8
Story: 5
Acting: 7
Goal: 7.5
Intangibles: 6
Overall: 7
