(1 - 25) of 25 OFCS Rating: 32% Rotten Page   1   3.5/5 "Not everything on display is sufficiently alive in this museum-set comedy adventure."   Channel 4 Film   Anton Bitel C "Under Shawn Levy's watch, Museum is an erratic time-waster that lives up to the filmmaker's streak of movies that drown in their own lethargy and fear of individuality."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf C- "This pastiche comedy is a piecemeal procedure in Hollywood excess."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "It's repetitive and strangely invested in its silly explanation of how the animated creatures phenomenon comes about (something about an Egyptian pharaoh's tablet)."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 4/5 "'Night at the Museum' has a setup that's so juicy, it's easy to forgive the film when it falls short of its potential."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 2.5/4 "...lightweight and inoffensive..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "Night at the Museum isn't an utter disaster but it is a dreary special effects-laden fantasy adventure with zero thrills and only intermittent heart."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B- "Levy, for his part, keeps the pace brisk and the storytelling simple."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C- "A film suffering from an acute case of Jumanjiitis...the one exhibit that would be most appropriate for this Museum would be a white elephant."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/4 "It might be fair to give Ben Stiller an 'A' for effort, but to call what he does in this movie "acting" is a misnomer. He does a lot of running around, occasionally falling down or bumping into things."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "What promises to be a fun Spielbergian romp for the whole family is a bit on the bland and mediocre side."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley 2.5/5 "You know what? There are few better antidotes to intense Oscar-wanna-be releases and treacly holiday throwaways than a fun, high-concept starring 3-4 generations of comedians. Yeah, I said it."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/5 "it's one of those high concept childhood fantasy films that will stay in your heart long after watching it"   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 3.5/4 "It would be at home on the same marquee as Gremlins, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 1/4 "The waste of talent -- especially of two comic veterans -- is occasionally sad to watch."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik B- "Night at the Museum is more amusement park ride than a walk through the halls of history, but sometimes a slap fight with a monkey is preferable to a lesson on Sacajawea."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[A] lack of appreciation for what the museum truly means to so many people is part of why Night at the Museum ultimately disappoints.... There are moments of sheer geeky fun, if not enough of them."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/4 "Night is definitely hampered by the fact that it has no viewpoint on history. Some satirical ideas would have elevated it onto a higher comic plane."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B "It's a better than average CGI-fest, more often silly than funny. But it makes some good points about courage, self-respect, and the importance of learning about history."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/4 "Night at the Museum fails to hit a completely comfortable stride."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "A idéia central é suficientemente interessante para prender nosso interesse durante a maior parte do tempo, transformando o projeto em uma diversão inofensiva, ainda que burocrática."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 1.5/5 "It looks great, but without sharp characters it's both lifeless and pointless. And strangely unfunny."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "Good idea. Bad execution."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 2/5 "a silly parade of slapstick antics aimed at audience members age eight and under"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 5/10 "Silly, shamelessly derivative slapstick - but at least it's family-friendly hyperactivity."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger  (1 - 25) of 25 OFCS Rating: 32% Rotten Page   1
