Tonight we watched this kids' movie about a down-on-his-luck divorced father taking a night job so that he can remain a part of his son's life. The job is to be night watchman at a museum. On his first night, he experiences the magical coming to life of the various animals and figures in the museum. He loses his instructions, he loses his keys, and wonders if he is losing his mind.
We enjoyed it. It's well paced, well acted, has a light tone and good humor.
Recommended.
