Shawn Levy tries to do this on film in the recently released (发行) Night at the Museum.
The film is adapted from Milan Trenc's book of the same name. It brings to life a world where dinosaurs
wander the earth, a former president rides again, warlike early Asians return, and cowboys and Roman soldiers
seek to bring back their old goals.
The familiar comedy star Ben Stiller acts as a luckless dreamer named Larry Daley. He takes a position(职
位) as night watchman at the New York Museum of Natural History.
On Larry's first night, he's left alone by the three aging guards he's replacing. They fail to inform him of
the museum's rather unusual nightlife.
Soon Larry finds himself chased(追逐) down the hallways by the very lively skeleton(骨架, 骷髅) of a
dinosaur, in the middle of a confrontation(交锋) with Asian warriors. He is caught in a battle between a
cowboy and a Roman general and meets face-to-face with former US president Teddy Roosevelt, played by
Robin Williams.
They are each from an exhibit that has come to life through the magic of a priceless Egyptian tablet(药
片).
While the film fails to develop very much in some areas (for example, Larry's troubled relationship with a
son), it does have enough special effects, and jokes to amuse the audience.
Bottom Line: Definitely not Oscar-worthy, but a great way to relax during a holiday.
