Ghost Town (2008)

The best thing about Ghost Town is seeing a romance between a man (Ricky Gervais) and a woman (Tea Leoni) that is not marred by a twenty year age difference. The movie is a sweet, fantastical ghost story with three appealing stars (including Greg Kinnear) and some intelligence. It's not the best of its genre (that honor probably goes to Heaven Can Wait) but it's in there trying all the way, for which it earns an extra star.

...A Night at the Museum (2006)

A Night at the Museum is first and foremost a movie for children as the story is too ridiculous and the script filled with too many plot holes to enjoy it as an adult. The special effects are decent and the obligatory romance middling but the introduction of villains halfway through the overlong film comes out of nowhere with no raison d'etre. The cameo from star Ben Stiller's real-life mom Anne Meara was my favorite part.
