I didn't think I would like this, but I did. Every year just before Christmas, my father takes my brother and I to a movie while my mother wraps presents. I thought we were going to skip it this year, but my dad showed up at my workplace at 6:45 and told me that when I got off, we were going to see the new Ben Stiller movie.
I was pleasantly surprised. In this movie, Ben Stiller is a person who has no career to speak of, and finally takes a job as a night guard at the museum. But to his shock, all of the items in the museum--the statues, the little figurines, the skeleton of a T-rex--come to life from dusk to dawn. We learn that it happens because the museum acquired the mummy of a pharaoh, Amun-ra, and his golden tablet meant to bring him to life every night in his tomb. When it was brought to the museum, the tablet brought everything in the musuem to life, although the pharaoh was stuck in his coffin for most of the movie.
The movie was all-around cool and very amusing. We got to see Stiller use the humanist psychologist perspective on Atilla the Hun, a talking Easter Island head that likes bubble gum, the Romans and the Texans fighting over land, and a Tyrannosaur that likes playing fetch. I was laughing through much of the movie, and as a history-lover, very amused with how people from all the different periods and places interacted.
I'm not a huge Ben Stiller fan, but this is the one movie of his that I most certainly will buy on DVD. I'm actually considering seeing it again at the theaters and bringing a friend with me.
Has anyone else seen it yet?
