Night at the Museum

Ben Stiller continues his nice-guy-stuck-in-a-bad-situation scenario and teams up yet again with Owen Wilson. But it works. Or at least it works well enough to be mildly entertaining for an hour and a half. Even though the entire plot is a fantasy, there are some elements that are so ridiculous (like Mickey Rooney and Dick Van Dyke being bad guys—Whaaa?), but you just have to go with it. A few brief scenes with Ricky Gervais are funny, although people who don’t get his humor might not think so, and he adds a different form of funny to the movie. It’s sweet, cute, and you get a few laughs, but it’s nothing extraordinary.
