The Natural History Museum is firing aging guards Cecil (Dick Van Dyke), Gus (Mickey Rooney), and Reginald (Bill Cobbs) and has hired Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) to tend to its graveyard-shift security. On Larry's first night at the museum, he falls asleep and awakens to a museum filled with animated dinosaurs, dioramas, and wax figures that have come to life. Larry learns that this has been happening since the 1950s after the arrival of an Egyptian Tablet, and he now understands that his job is to make sure the museum is back in order by the time it opens each morning. Larry seeks help and is aided by one of the wax figures, President Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), who steps in and helps Larry maintain order and save the day. 1 User Review

| | Exciting and enjoyable | Lil Pearl 02/23/2007 | | I was not expecting too much from what I assumed to be a children's movie but I enjoyed it as much as my young nieces. It's funny and clever without being insulting. |

He returns for a visit to the museum and learns than most of the exhibits are being shipped to the Smithsonian Museum for storage in order to make room for new displays. What Larry knows is that those exhibits come to life at night, and when he gets an S.O.S. call from cowboy Jed (Owen Wilson), Larry races to the Smithsonian. Once there, Larry learns that Egyptian pharaoh Kahmunrah (Hank Azaria) has come back to life and is seeking to dominate the world. And the battles rage as Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), General Custer (Bill Hader), and Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams) fight the evil forces of Ivan the Terrible (Christopher Guest) and Napoleon (Alain Chabat). Great special effects.
