Free Night at the Museum Movie

By Amy Swant

Night at the Museum movie part 1, is quite a feast to the eye just as so is part 2. Part 1 and 2 are comedy, adventure American movies that were released in 2006 and 2009 respectively. The movie was adapted from a children's book written by Milan Trenc with the same name and was a great success. The cast had Ben Stiller in the lead role supported by Robin Williams, Bill Cobbs, Dick Van Dyke, Paul Rudd, Mickey Rooney, Steve Coogan, Carla Gugino, Owen Wilson and Ricky Gervais.

The first part is simply called Night at the Museum and the second part is called Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. The movie begins with Larry Daley (Ben), who is a divorced father struggling to sustain a stable job. He had made numerous attempts at various business ventures that failed always. He is trying desperately to win over his son Nick, who is beginning to choose Don, his step father, as a role model due to his successful career as a Wall street bond trader.

Larry gets a job at the American Museum of Natural History as a night guard. There are three ready to retire night guards (Cecil, Reginald and Gus) who give him a short, quick tour of the place, tell him not to switch off all the lights and warn him against letting anything 'in or out'. Larry thinks all this is very humorous. When night descends, all the museum exhibits become alive, including Tyrannosaurus rex, a living skeleton, Dexter, a capuchin mischievous monkey, Jedediah, a cowboy leading miniatures, Theodore Roosevelt's wax model and Octavius the Roman General.

Roosevelt takes it up on himself to tell Larry about the Egyptian Tablet of Akmenrah, an artifact which was brought in'52 to the museum. Ever since then, all the exhibits in the museum came to life every night. If the exhibits choose to go out side the museum they had to come back before sunrise or they would turn to dust. Up on Cecil's suggestion Larry starts to learn history to be able to deal with the exhibits in a better way.

Next morning, Larry's boss Rebecca, almost throws him out of his job when she sees the mess in the museum from the night before. Larry somehow manages to retain his job but is not able to convince Rebecca of the night's happenings. Larry decides to take Nick with him to spend the night at the museum but nothing happens, no exhibit comes to life that night and so is not able to impress Nick. Cecil, Reginald and Gus have received enhanced energy and vitality from the Tablet and don't want to forsake it, therefore they steal the Tablet of Ahkmenrah.

The chase to catch them begins. The story becomes super exciting from here on. How the museum exhibits help Larry in the chase, how Larry convinces his boss of what takes place in the night, how Larry wins over his son achieves his dream of becoming a role model for his son is unfolded in this movie. This is one movie that is good to watch during family times. It does not even take much. If you have an Internet and computer at home, why not watch Night at the museum online free tonight? Bet you'd end up watching the second part as well. - 30302
