Night At The Museum, the "romping, stomping good ride (San Francisco Chronicle) hit, action-comedy that stayed in the top five at the box-office for 8 weeks, comes to DVD on April 24, 2007 from Fox Home Entertainment featuring a wild collection of extras. Ben Stiller (Dodgeball, Meet The Parents, There's Something About Mary) stars as Larry Daley, an unlucky, yet hopeful dreamer who takes a job as a graveyard-shift security guard at the famous museum. When it closes at night, Larry soon learns that things are not what they seem when a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton wants to play fetch, an Easter Island monolith talks to him and Attila The Hun attacks. With the museum denizens loose and not wanting to lose his job, Larry turns to a re-animated wax figure of President Theodore Roosevelt (played by Oscar®-winner Robin Williams, Best Supporting Actor, Good Will Hunting, 1998) to help save the museum. Night At The Museum also stars Paul Rudd (The 40 Year Old Virgin) and some of Hollywood's all-time favorite comedians Dick Van Dyke ("The Dick Van Dyke Show, "Diagnosis Murder) and Mickey Rooney (The Black Stallion, Babes In Arms).
The two-disc Special Edition DVD arrives full of bonus features including deleted and extended scenes with optional commentary by director Shawn Levy (Cheaper By The Dozen, The Pink Panther) and Ben Stiller, an alternate opening, a hilarious gag-reel, behind the scenes featurettes, a DVD-ROM Explorer Game and more.
