Watching Night At The Museum (2006) FOR THE FIRST TIME!! || Movie Reaction! 

Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction! Once again wanted to include a lot so hope the length wasn’t too long haha. See you next for Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory (the 1971 version)!

RIP, Robin Williams. He brought a lot of laughter playing Teddy Roosevelt.

Robin Williams was perfect for this role. The third film was the last movie he was ever in before he passed away. RIP Robin Williams: my favorite actor...

Also all the historical accuracy is AMAZING! The fact that Columbus didn't speak english, Ahkmenrah being played by someone actually egyptian. It seems like small things but they make the movie so much more accurate and enjoyable

Fun Fact: the woman who sends Larry to the museum job is actually Ben Stiller's IRL mother. Which makes the bit about "feeling a connection" funnier when you know that. :D

Fun fact: Many of the shots with Dexter featured a real monkey. They had to train it to bite and slap Ben Stiller on cue. Lol that must've been fun.

If you think about it, it makes sense that Ahkmen-Ra can control the other museum exhibits because he (and Rexy) are the only things there that are real. Everything else is wax or stuffed or miniature figurines. Ahkmen-Ra IS the actual pharaoh whose tablet brings everything to life. He was just preserved as a mummy for thousands of years. And remember the old museum guards said that the tablet’s magic makes them feel young again, which explains why he isn’t like a zombie when he wakes up. This movie is very well thought-out and underrated!

Honestly, one of the coolest film ideas ever, and something every kid in a museum dreams about. In fact, museums used to host sleep overs for kids and watch this movie before bed, sleeping under the dinosaurs, or wherever.

If I recall, the third Night at the Museum was one of Robin's last roles, if not THE last role. I'm pretty sure I remember watching it in theaters not long at all after he died. Very bittersweet experience. 💔💖 You could just feel in the air that everyone in the room was missing him.

Man it's surreal seeing a grown man watch a movie you've seen a million times blind.

A little fact that I love for this movie is that Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan (the actors for Jed and Octavius) have pretty much confirmed that Jedidiah and Octvaius are in love with each other and even said they played them like a married couple! And if you watch the sequels you'll definitely notice how they have feelings for each other

I remember when I first told my grandmother about this movie and mentioned Mickey Rooney was in it, she said "My God! Who's holding him up? Isn't he like a thousand years old?" Grandma was a real character.

Two things: One, because of this movie, people were actually visiting the museum--or museums--more, which wasn't the filmmaker's intention. Two, if you love September so much--as you should--then definitely check out Last Vegas with Michael Douglas, Robert de Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline from, I wanna say 2013. Very underrated comedy.

Rami Malek is who plays the pharaoh, and that was just a perfect

I remember being scared to watch this when I was little because Rexy looked kinda creepy. The twist of him being a big puppy was amazing. Now this is one of my favorite film franchises, with the third one being my top pick.

The fact you don't even know the basic premises of some of these movies makes your reaction all the more enjoyable

Now that Robin Williams has passed away, that moment where he swoops in to save Larry is an even more impactful reveal, wow ❤️ Rest In Peace you absolute legend!

Robin Williams brought Theodore Roosevelt to life when I saw this film. The humor and lines that he did in this film were perfect. RIP to a wonderful legend.

I remember watching the NATM movies so often as a kid! Such a nice experience seeing you watch it for the first time :)

Fun fact: the woman at the employment office is Anne Meara, Ben Stiller’s real-life mother! She was married to his father and her comedy partner, Jerry Stiller, for over 60 years until her death in 2015; Jerry, best known to later audiences as George Costanza’s father on Seinfeld and Carrie Heffernan’s father on The King of Queens, died in 2020.

1. Robin Williams roles are all so iconic. I absolutely loved him in this movie. 2. I also really enjoyed the fact that Dick Van Dyke is in this movie (cecil the night guard) he played a part in Mary Poppins and it’s one on my favorite Disney movies 3. As a New Yorker I really do enjoy visiting this museum. The museum of natural history is so cool to visit. Literally have to be there to whole day to get to see almost everything. It look a little bit different from the movie but as a person who enjoys museums a lot- I recommend everyone that’s in New York to visit it at least once lmao 4. I FREAKIN LOVE OWEN WILSON 5. THIS IS HOW I KNEW RAMI MALEK PLS 😩 I love him so much

Robin Williams surprised me with his portrayal of Theodore Roosevelt. Wish it had been for a biographical movie on our 26th President

Also the shorter older guy in the movie, is in Pete's Dragon. his name is Micky Rooney. The other guy Dick Van Dyke had his own show, and played in Mary Poppins.

This movie is underrated. I didn’t realize until this reaction

this was one of the "go to movies" during wet weather when I was in primary school , good times .

You definitely need to check the sequel to this! Has a ton more familiar faces!

Fun fact...Anne Meara who plays the employment agency worker was Ben Stiller's mom. The line about having a connection is an inside joke😁. These movies remind me of the kinds of shows I used to watch on Saturday mornings as a kid.

I haven't seen this movie in ages but can I just say that it is a cinematic masterpiece? Honestly, I never realized how well this movie was made. The CGI isn't that bad for 2006, the history is actually very well thought out, down to the tiniest detail, and the performances are stellar.

When I first watched this movie as a kid, I became obsessed over Egyptology, had a crush on Ahkmenrah, and became a gotta-watch-too-many-times favorite. Ah. Good times.

1:55 Nick: wow those look almost real Me: *laughing* just you wait nick

One film of Robin Williams I'd definitely suggest down the line would be "Hook". Steven Spielberg, starring Dustin Hoffman as well!

47:51 that’s the same actor from bohemian rhapsody. 58:53 got his job back.

Love this movie! Teddy Roosevelt's father was one of the founders of that museum. They recently took down Teddy's statue in front of the museum. The red headed lady at the job place was Ben Stiller's real mom, Ann Meara. The old guy that showed Ben around was Dick Van Dyke who was in Mary Poppins. Micky Rooney the grumpy old guy has made many movies with Judy Garland singing and dancing. The tiny people tying him down is like Gulliver's Travels. The bronze statue is Christopher Columbus. The big statue that wants gum is from Easter Island.

I've seen this movie a dozen times and I still forgot Paul Rudd was in this. Also, Ricky Gervais has one of the best comedic energies in this movie. Love Owen Wilson in Loki, but it was nice rewatching this and seeing him again in one of my favorite roles he's ever played. The Joy when you saw Robin, bro this is up there in my top favorite parts he's ever played. This whole series is so underrated. I really hope you'll react to all the movies not just this one. I think it's so clever how these characters are hyper aware of how they came to exist. Roosevelt knew all about the tablet and was able to adaquatly fill him in in a way that the previous night guards failed to do. This movie will never get old.

This is actually a really solid family movie, I agree. It’s never a “favorite”, but in retrospect it had a fairly original plot, but simple and easy to follow, and reasonably investing. It’s a well-balanced movie that makes sense on its own terms, which I can’t say for a lot of major movies in the last 15 or so years-certainly not ones that are also fun and wholesome without speaking down to kids too much.

As someone who is studying to become a security guard, this excites me. Even though only some elements of this are true on what a security guard does.

This is one of my favorite reactions by far! Something about the way Robin Williams just yells “LAWERENCE!” brings just nostalgia and warmness to me. Bless his soul man, I hope where he is, he is much happier because he deserves it 💜 I can’t wait for him to complete the trilogy- it’s one of the best sets 🥰

I forgot how much I loved this movie as a kid. It was definitely one of a kind. Nothing else has come close to matching it.

It's been years but Dexter still gives me massive anxiety💀

This is one of those cool and timeless movies which you could've easily imagined being released in the 80s or 90s. I just love it, and yes, the score is amazingly underrated!

Starring Ben Stiller as a night security guard at a museum where a plaque was stolen causing all of the exhibits to come to life

The last time I saw NATM was during my childhood! I didn't even know the actor of Ant-Man was in this 😮 omg that made me happy

Your laugh to the dum dum scene was so fun to watch. My favorite part of the reaction!

Robin Williams was in this movie as well as its two sequels. The third and final Night at the Museum movie was released in his memory, since he died before it was released.

Well, I guess I know what movie I will be watching again, tonight. I love this movie. Also, along with the all star cast, "Debbie", his employment agent, is his mother, Ann Meara. Ann and Jerry Stiller, Ben's parents, were one the the funniest comedy duos. You may remember, Jerry Stiller from "Seinfeld".

This movie was such a fun time when I saw it in theaters, and it's still a joy to watch. The other two sequels aren't bad, but this was most certainly the best one.

Rami Malek shoutout. He played: 1.) Ahkmenrah, "Night at the Museum" 2.) Freddie Mercury, "Bohemian Rhapsody" 3.) Elliot, "Mr. Robot" 4.) Josh, "Until Dawn" (video game) 5.) Louis Dega, "Papillon" 6.) a character in "The Pacific" (I haven't actually seen that movie yet) 7.) Kenny, "War at Home" I know he's probably had more roles than just that, but I wanted to list the most popular ones I could remember from off the top of my head.

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are in a bunch of movies together! They're good friends. 😊

The third night at the museum film was Robin Williams final role and line spoken as an actor ❤️ Makes me bawl like a baby Every time x

This creator is one you should definitely subscribe to on Patreon. He actually shows the whole movie without blurs or cuts and gives an entire commentary to the whole movie. It’s definitely worth it.

Aaaaaaaaa I'm so happy that you're doing this movie! It was literally my childhood, the first movie I watched in theaters and the reason I love history so much. ❤️

Btw when he snapped at the last scene his flash light turned off, he invented his snapper light

Night at the Museum is the funniest movie to meet the people from the past.

This film is the best!! Robin Williams character was my fav 😭❤️ If you are thinking of a series, I recommend The Umbrella Academy on Netflix. The first 2 episodes are a bit slow but especially Season 2 is brilliant 😁

I love your facial expressions when someone drops a hint about what's really going on! In this and all your reactions. You could get memed making funny faces like that. Haha

Just before I took my grandkids to see this movie, I took them to two huge museums in Chicago so they had a background of what might be in this movie. The Museum of Science and Industry and the Museum of Natural History. T-Rex bones in the main entrance. We all just loved this movie. Glad you enjoyed it.

Ah yes, memories are back!

I loved this movies as a kid and even now being 22, I love them. I was 7 when the first one came out and I still watch these and actually went to the Museum in New York when I visited. The 2nd and 3rd ones are amazing. Completely forgot Paul Rudd was in the first one! I'm so glad you watched this! Xx

I forgot Dick Van Dyke was in this. I love this so much more now. 💗

Nicky you are gonna LOVE IT! THIS MOVIE IS TOO COOL!

I just rewatched this trilogy earlier this year and it was so nice and they actually keep you interested. I saw so many actors who I didn’t realize were in this. Robin Williams, Rami Malik, etc

As much as I loved this reaction (yeah, shocking, I know) I can’t wait for Battle of the Smithsonian! In my opinion, it’s the best of the franchise and Amy Adams kills it as the leading lady (not going to say her name for spoilers)!

This movie series made me want to open a museum.

This reaction brought back memories omg!

i need to find someone nerdy as i am that it would cry as i cry just watching the intro, i always loved history-science museums, it feel so nostalgic i cant help

The figurine guys (whose names I can’t spell) are my favorite!

Dick van Dyke steals the show for me in this one

I've worked at the American museum of natural history for 3 years and its so much fun! Top 3 questions we get is 1.Where is Sacagawea? We don't have her in The American Museum of Natural History. I seen a couple get torn up over this because they flew out just to see her, but a quick google search will tell you what we have. I felt bad for them, so I gave them a map and circled a few places I like to roam during my breaks and they got back to me and loved being there! They planned on coming back the next day I wasn't there, but I hope they enjoyed that day too! 2.Wheres Dumb Dumb? 😂😂 He's located on the 3rd floor in Margaret Meade Hall of Pacific Peoples and he's called The Easter Island Head. Number 3 is more of a statement and I take joy in correcting people about it because the joy on their faces when I tell them gets me excited every time " Y'all should have the night at the museum" We actually did. It's been closed because of covid, but we use to have adult ones and ones for kids. You get to stay the night and roam around the museum. You get food and a cot and aloof other things!

I Love your reactions it‘s like medicine after a hard day :D

I was born in Brooklyn and the Museum of Natural History was, and is, a great part of my life. The whale, I thought, and still am paranoid that they'd fall on me. ^_^;

Jim Carrey's Grinch or The Mask, and especially Bruce Almighty would be really fun movies to react to if you're checking out more live action comedies now! Also pretty much any Jack Black movie! Master of Disguise with Dana Carvey is another good reactable movie in a "SOOO bad it's amazing" way.

I’m so happy you made it so long! Love how much effort you put into these, just one of the reasons your one of my favorite reactors❤️

7:23 - "He's funny" That would be because he's Ricky Gervais, the greatest comedian of the 21st century.

theres a mid credit scene you missed with the guards being made to clean the museum as punishment, Gus gets angry at Cecil, and then Cecil later dances like the dance legend Dick Van Dyke is RIP Robin Williams and Mickey Rooney

Two of the older guards, Mickey Rooney and Dick Van Dyke, are classic movie stars. Mickey Rooney was a cinema star since he was a teenager and Dick Van Dyke was in famous movies (Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) which I highly recommend you see. Robin Williams was in the sequel to this movie and it was very bittersweet. I think you would really enjoy the sequel. The museum director is Ricky Gervais, a well known British comedian. The woman at the employment agency was Anne Meara, Ben Stillers’ mom and a well known actress herself. The prince is Rami Malek, who starred in Bohemian Rhapsody. Love this movie and so nice seeing it through fresh eyes!

That “dum dum” character was iconic back in the day lol

Dang this came out in 2006? I'm getting old, this was my favourite movie when i was a kid

You would recognize Paul Rudd as Ant-man

Dude I forgot how great this movie is! And Jedediah and Octavius were so great together, thanks for doing this one!

It’s so nice to see a reaction to this movie for what it is,a goofy movie to enjoy rather than it being hated in every second from the very start Thankyou for watching this!

I remember watching this as a kid. I already loved Robin Williams from Jumanji but this was my first introduction to Ben Stiller. I loved both of them in this movie, it’s such a fun time. RIP Robin 💕

ok, I've seen this movie so many times throughout my childhood - and when I say that I sQUEAKED in shock when you pointed out the reference to Aladdin with the "three wishes" ... b r o, you got some attention to detail

I love that you basically go through my whole childhood with your rewatches and first time watchings. And this series was a huge part

The job club lady is Ann Meara, Ben Stillers real mom. X

I love this trilogy, because it’s so funny, the cast is great, the score is great, and I love history stuff.

I watched this sooo many times when it came out. Brilliant reaction. Any chance you'll be reacting to the sequels, and the Land Before Time sequels? 🦕🦖 Really looking forward to it. ❤

Cecil is played by the incomparable Dick Van Dyke - you may know him better as the chimney sweep in Mary Poppins; or the Dick Van Dyke show.

The main security guard is a legend in acting, hes Dick Van Dyke

DEBBIE is actually Bin Stiller's REAL MOM fun fact.

I just love how you had NO IDEA of what was going to happen, o who was in this movie besides Ben ☺. I loved this trilogy my last childhood years and decided to rewatch them this last month, all the characters and actors are amazing 😍. This movie isn´t PEEEERFECT, but it does has its charm with the exhibits coming to life and the magic tablet, its just Wonderful 🥰

17:00 says: "go find the lion somewhere else" , " vai a cercare il leone da un altra parte " .

That's Mickey Rooney, biggest box office draw from 1939 to 1940, spanning two decades!

I have visited this museum in New York, while traveling from canada to the Bahamas. This movie made me exited to see the museum, it was different from the movie, there was no trex skeleton, but i enjoyed very much.

If you enjoyed Ben Stiller as the main guy in this you should definitely check out the madagascar films when you get the chance (I know they were on your poll). He plays the lion in Madagascar!

The woman who played Debbie, that got him the job at the museum, was played by Ann Meara. His mother. She and Jerry Stiller, Ben Stiller's father, we're once famous actors and comedians themselves.

Visited this museum it's so worth it it's enormous you will need the whole day if you wanted a break you can walk out in central park and grab a snack. If you go you should totally document it on video. Not even 10% was convered in the movie that's how huge it is

So happy u did this😍Night at the Museum is one of my favorite childhood movies

I don't know if you have seen the OG Mary Poppins yet, but Cecil who is played by Dick Van Dyke was actually also Bert from the OG Mary Poppins 😊

53:40 "Do not tell me Robbin WIlliams is actually gone" bruh lol

This is one of my favorite trilogies despite how I haven't had the chance to see them very often.
