Good-hearted dreamer Larry Daley, despite being perpetually down on his luck, thinks he's destined for something big. But even he could never have imagined how big, when he accepts what appears to be a menial job as a graveyard-shift security guard at a museum of natural history. During Larry's watch, extraordinary things begin to occur: Mayans, Roman Gladiators, and cowboys emerge from their diorama to wage epic battles; in his quest for fire, a Neanderthal burns down his own display; Attila the Hun pillages his neighboring exhibits, and a T-Rex reminds everyone why he's history's fiercest predator. Amidst the chaos, the only person Larry can turn to for advice is a wax figure of President Teddy Roosevelt , who helps our hero harness the bedlam, stop a nefarious plot, and save the museum.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bob Townsend
"Computer-generated things that go bump in the night can't cover for a thin story and less-than-inspired performances from Stiller and Williams." more... C-
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"...stuffed with smart performers doing graciously silly work..." more... B  
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
"Stranded in this charmless fantasy, Stiller is reduced to his old halting, squirming tricks." more... C-

Alex Markerson
"The film's vision of a museum as a lively place might excite your tykes into wanting to see a real one..." more... B+

Sean O'Connell
"Here's an idea: Instead of buying a movie ticket, spend the afternoon in an actual museum. You'll likely laugh just as hard." more... C-
Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
"A week at the La Brea Tar Pits would be more entertaining. " more... D  
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
"...strands several generations of performers in a highly derivative script and hackneyed direction." more... C  
New York Times
Stephen Holden
"...an overstuffed grab bag in which lumps of coal are glued together with melted candy." more... D+
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
"A delight." more... B+
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
William Arnold
"The truly bizarre Ben Stiller farce, Night at the Museum, is no laugh riot, and misfires all over the screen, but it develops its own unique charm and leaves a pleasant afterglow." more... B-
USA Today
Claudia Puig
"Though the premise is clever -- everything comes to life at night in New York City's Natural History Museum -- this movie doesn't make the best comic use of the concept." more... C
