Report: Well, I like Ben Stiller and his mom, Anne Meara, is in this movie (as my companion pointed out) for about 5 minutes. The rest is Ben doing acrobatic stunts in the Museum of Natural History while he impresses his son, finds love and saves the world. He finds love first but wins it last. Nice appearances by Mickey Rooney and Dick Van Dyke (be sure to catch the "dance video" at the end of the show). Robin Williams as the wax figure known as Teddy dispenses some wisdom. There's everything in this movie from Tyranisaurus Rex to Columbus to Ra and classic pratfalls. Ben is a better acrobat than a comedian. I'd like to see him in a dance contest or a basketball game. Unless he didn't do all those stunts but it was him running and that man can run! Hint: the site is more fun than the show.
Analogy: early Disney
Will I buy the DVD? No.
