Night at the Museum: Night at the Museum written and directed by two American personalities Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon respectively, Robert Ben has been written many other stories related to fun and family. From his childhood he was interesting in funny stories. Night at Museum his another piece of art that how the American Museum of Natural History in New York City provides the stylish and disturbing background for this fun and imaginative movie starring Ben Stiller. Writers Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon confirmed to Dark Horizons that they were writing a follow-up to Night at the Museum. Why the writer chosen this name for his movie' Because he wants to realize the importance of knowledge in funny and isolated phenomenon. Knowledge is power! Is the theme of this fun, friendly film' Larry (Ben Stiller) is a divorced slacker dad trying to find and keep a job to maintain the confidence of his 10-year-old son. Ben Stiller lands a job as night guard at the Museum and is greeted by three, old moldy museum guards who are ready to retire. These guys are full of fun seniors played to great fun by Dick van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, and Bill Cobbs. In the start of the movie no one knows even Larry what will happen in the museum but he saw everything in the museum get real life. But Larry uses his knowledge gather from the different libraries regarding archeology and animals. And the time comes when the Larry returns the real and actual life to Museum. In New York, the unemployed divorced Larry Daley is a complete loser. His son Nick is very disappointed with his father that is going to be expelled, and Larry accepts the job of night watchman in the Museum of Natural History as the substituted for three old security guards that have just retired to raise some money and pay his bills. But these are naughty guards who fail to tell Larry the one big secret about the museum. The secret of this museum is that all of its population comes alive at night. So there is a dog-like T-Rex skeleton roaming the halls at night, as well as a cheeky capuchin monkey named Dexter who feels the need to relieve himself on Larry. All of the taxidermic critters come alive, along with the life-size figures of Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams) and Sakagawea (Mizuo Peck). In his first nightshift, Larry realizes that everything at the museum comes to life at night. The Museum transforms in a complete chaos with the inexperienced Larry, and he learns that since an old Egyptian stone came to the Museum in 1950, was statues comes to life until dawn. When Larry brings his son to spend a night with him, the three old guards break in the Museum to stole the magic stone. Larry organizes the historic characters to help him to arrest the criminals and save the museum. Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) is divorced, unable to keep a stable job, and has failed at many business ventures. His ex-wife (Kim Raver) believes that he is a bad example to their ten-year-old son Nick (Jake Cherry), and Larry fears that Nick respects his future stepfather, bond trader Don (Paul Rudd), more than he does Larry. Cecil (Dick Van Dyke), an elderly night security guard about to retire from the American Museum of Natural History, hires Larry despite his unpromising resume. The museum plans to replace Cecil and two colleagues Gus (Mickey Rooney) and Reginald (Bill Cobbs) with one guard. They advise Larry to leave some of the lights on and warn him not to let anything "in... or out". Once night comes, Larry discovers that the exhibits come to life, including a living Tyrannosaurus skeleton nicknamed "Rexy" who behaves like a dog; a naughty capuchin monkey named Dexter, which always steals Larry's keys; rival miniature civilizations led by Old West cowboy Jedediah (Owen Wilson) and Roman general Octavius (Steve Coogan); an Easter Island Moai (Brad Garrett) obsessed with "gum-gum"; and a wax model of Theodore Roosevelt (Robin Williams). Roosevelt explains that since an Egyptian artifact—the Golden Tablet of Pharaoh Akhmenrah—came to the museum in 1952, all of the exhibits come to life each night. If the exhibits are outside of the museum during sunrise, however, they turn to dust. Roosevelt helps Larry by restoring order, and he decides to remain as a guard. On Cecil's advice, Larry studies history to prepare himself better. He also learns from a museum docent, Rebecca Hutman (Carla Gugino), who is writing a dissertation on Sacagawea (Mizuo Peck) but does not feel she knows enough about her subject. The next night, Larry uses what he has learned to better control the exhibits. Four Neanderthals set fire to a display, however, and one turns to dust when he leaves the museum at dawn, so museum director Dr. McPhee (Ricky Gervais) almost fires Larry. He offers Rebecca a meeting with Sacagawea, but she believes that he is disrespectful her and the museum. Larry brings Nick to the museum to show him the exhibits, but none is alive. They find Cecil, Gus, and Reginald stealing the tablet and other valuable objects. Like the exhibits, the guards receive enhanced energy from the artifact; wishing to retain their health and fund their retirements, the three plan to frame Larry for the thefts, and disabled the tablet to stop the exhibits from interfering. Nick reactivates the artifact, but Cecil locks him and his father in the Egyptian room and flees with the tablet. Larry releases the Akhmenrah's (Rami Malek) mummy from his sarcophagus. The pharaoh speaks English from many years as an exhibit at Cambridge, and helps Larry and Nick escape. The three find the other exhibits fighting, and Larry convinces them to work together. Although some of the exhibits capture Gus and Reginald without difficulty, Cecil escapes by stagecoach with Larry, Nick, Akmenrah, and Atilla the Hun in pursuit in Central Park, where they stop him and regain the tablet. Cecil is then taken by the Huns back to the museum, where he is thrown in with Gus and Reginald . Rebecca sees the exhibits return to the museum before sunrise and realizes that Larry was telling the truth; he introduces her to Sacagawea. Dr. McPhee fires Larry due to the chaos during the night, but rehires him when news reports of the strange events around the museum such as cave paintings in the museum's subway station, dinosaur footprints in Central Park, and cavemen sightings raise attendance. Larry, Nick, and the exhibits celebrate, while Cecil, Gus, and Reginald are forced to become museum janitors as punishment. There are other assorted characters in the museum including a tiny, sensitive cowboy named Jedediah (Owen Wilson), a tiny Roman General (Steve Coogan), and a very large Easter Island head. The museum director is played by Ricky Gervais who manages to take vague communication to an all-time high. At one point, he parodies George W. Bush by pulling out the famously flubbed, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice..." This movie will never win any Oscars, but I highly recommend it because of its saving message: Knowledge is power. It is carved into the top of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, and Larry only succeeds at his daunting task by educating himself about the colorful characters who roam those marble halls at night. Look for Mizuo Peck's star to rise quickly. She is practically unknown, lovely and understated as the Shoshone guide Sacagawea, who teams up with the Teddy Roosevelt/Robin Williams character. As it has already been discussed that the movie is revolving around the power of knowledge but in some funny way, this is completely an isolated system of museum where no external force can disturb the internal phenomenon of the museum. The audience can judge that how an ordinary person brings back the real life of the museum. Three old security guards have already been accepted about the importance of museum; they want to steal important things from the museum but the Larry’s on time efficient decision not allowed to do the illegal work. The main idea of the movie is the effective utilization of extraordinary knowledge in ordinary way by an ordinary person. Obviously this movie has not been nominated for Oscar but still it has good ranking in Box office. Night at the Museum reached up to $30 million on its opening weekend in December 2006. The domestic revenue as of October 1, 2009, is $177.1 million along with $236.0 million from foreign countries with a total of $411,755,284 worldwide. The movie on its extreme use of special effects as noted by Scott Tobias of the A.V. Club when he described the film as "a mysterious master plot and a full load of special effects in search of something to do." Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times awarded the film 1½ stars out of 4 claiming "its basis is lame, its plot persistently predictable, and its characters with personalities that would distinguish picture books."
