Originally Posted By jdub LOL, mele, you know me too well! Yeah, I got suckered in by this one--I just kinda liked the idea. Plus, my young'n did want to go. And, I knew there would be no (gasp) "hair gel" in this one. So, yeah--jdub DID.

Originally Posted By DlandJB I don't like Stiller or Robin Williams, but I did like this movie very much. Very entertaining. I agree that it doesn't really get rolling until he is in the museum, but then it is fun.
Originally Posted By EdisYoda I saw this with my mom yesterday and loved it. Williams was PERFECT as Roosevelt. The T-Rex playing doggie was great. Other then the time before Stiller entered the museum, I'd give this movie 4 out of 5 Jedi's. But including it, I can only give it 3.5 Jedi's.

It reminds me of that film and I liked it bunches.. but SeanYoda & I haven't seen it yet (although he does have some passes he got that might have an expiration on them) I really want to see this film and the new Beatrix Potter film that is coming out. Wow! 2 movies at the same time I actually want to see.. not very often does that happen.. (I can't recall the last movie we went to see at the theatre this year except Cars, although I'm sure there's others).
Originally Posted By jasmine7 <<would anyone who liked "Jumanji" like it?? It reminds me of that film and I liked it bunches<< I think so, smeeko. I love Jumanji, and I also love NatM. It does have kind of the same feeling as Jumanji at times, but they are very different films.

Originally Posted By nevadarebel I really enjoyed this movie. It is funny because we took our kids to the museum this summer so they could remember the places from the movie.
Originally Posted By DlandJB I liked it better than Jumanji, which I thought was a little relentless.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 We saw the movie last night and thought it was a nice little movie, not really good or bad. Good for an evening or afternoon outing. I don't have little kids anymore but it looked like the 7 and up crowd that was there was enjoying the film. Best part for me was during the ending credits. There is a bit with the 3 night watchmen doing a little dancing. Boy, Dick Van Dyke can still shake a leg
Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter Thanks to your heads up, amazedncal2, we stayed for that dancing bit--so thank you! I love Dick Van Dyke, and yes indeedy, he can still shake a leg! The kids loved the movie; I was mildly entertained by it. There were some very funny little moments, and Owen Wilson was hilarious as always.

But Ben Stiller - well, maybe he's not set up as a romantic lead in this movie - but when he has been in other movies, well I just can't seriously accept that any lovely ladies would actually find him attractive.
Originally Posted By brotherdave I saw the movie on New Year's Day. It was ok, but not really as exciting as I thought it would be. It had its comical moments, but for the most part, most of the jokes fell flat. Still, I did enjoy watching some of the things come to life, especially the T-Rex skeleton and the Easter Island head. I'd give it a solid "C" on my A-Z scale.
