Night at the Museum

It may be a bit scattered and not have lived up to its potential to become a classic but I had fun watching this movie. There's something about the tone of it that made me smile from beginning to end. I liked how the filmmakers instilled some sort of story here rather than just slap together special effects in order for it to look grand. It somehow captured the feel of wonder I experience whenever I visit a museum. Ben Stiller is funny as usual and his antics never get old. Although the film reminded me of a toned down version of "Jumanji," it is original in its own way, which was refreshing. I really have nothing to complain about because I thought it was consistent--it might not have been funny every scene but it's also not only funny in the beginning and boring at the end, or vice-versa. Everything was even and that was enough for me to recommend this to everyone.
