Night at the Museum

I just saw this movie for the first time. I thought it was pretty funny. A lot of it was slapstick, and they left quite a few loose ends, but it was a fun film.
This was a funny movie, even if there were some loose ends. Like at one point some artifacts from the museum are stolen and placed inside a desk drawer. We find out that they were put there by one of the retiring night watchmen, but that's the last we hear of them, unless they turn up at the end of the credits. And how did the place get cleaned up so quickly the next day? What happened to the broken glass in the Lewis and Clark exhibit?
That left me wondering a bit. Oh well. I've got the DVD. I'll probably watch this a few more times. It was funny after all. And for a comedy with a corny plot-line it still had its moments.
Probably the best line in the whole movie was from "Teddy Roosevelt". Teddy and Larry are discussing greatness, and Larry keeps saying he's not great, but Teddy is because he built the Panama Canal and all that. Teddy disagrees and tells Larry he didn't do those things.
“I’m made of wax, Larry. What are you made of?”
If anything in the whole movie stuck with me, that does. Figures in a museum are made of wax. Men from history are gone. We have their words to remember what they did, and we can wish things were the way they were back then, or that we were someone else. Ultimately though, it's what we are and what we do that makes a difference today.
