Tagline: "See the side of the museum you won't see on the tour."
Reasons they need to see it: Besides the fact that Ben Stiller is hilarious, and that a number of other notable stars act alongside him, every kid should see this movie to learn more about history in a fun and digestible way. This movie also touches upon a child’s relationship with his divorced parents and shows how a common interest could bring a child closer to the parent that they no longer live with.
What to look out for: There’s a bit of rude humor — mostly when Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan are arguing like an old married couple — and there are a few parts of the museum that could be a bit scary for really young kids before Ben Stiller gets the live (literally) exhibits under control.
