Night at the Museum

Last night I went to see Night at the Museum (***). Littered with special effects I found it reasonably entertaining. There is however no characterisation to Ben Stiller’s character, where he plays The Guy Ben Stiller Plays in Films.

Ricky Gervais seems to portray a slightly more pompous David Brent. Robin Williams is pretty understated considering his normal hyperactive performances. Steve Coogan and Owen Wilson don’t really get to do all that much with their roles as warring exhibits. Dick van Dyke and Mickey Rooney feature as bitter security guards.

For the most part I quite enjoyed it, daft holiday film that it is.

What was probably more exciting was that we were treated to a trailer for The Simpsons Movie. I’d seen it online, but it was good to see it on the big screen. "Uh...the bunny’s not breathin'."
