Full title of this movie is "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" and if you loved the first one, you are really gonna love this one.
All of the loveable characters from the first movie, Owen Wilson, Ricky Gervais, Robin Williams, Steve Coogan, Rahmi Malek and Mizuo Peck as Sacajawea.
Ben Stiller again stars as Larry Daley, a former night guard at the Museum of Natural History in New York. He is summoned by some of the "inmates" because they are all being packed up and shipped to the underground storage area of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington.
Directed again by Shawn Levy, who has the same marvelous timing this go round, so much so, I think I really liked this one as much as the first one, and certain parts even better.
Hank Azaria almost steals the show from Stiller as arisen King Kanmunrah, older brother to Rahmi Malek's character. Akmenrah. Azaria also lends his voice to the statue The Thinker, and to Abraham Lincoln.
Amy Adams comes along for the ride, this time as Amelia Earhart. She has some pretty funny lines, and plays her character very well.
Robin Williams is back, both as Teddy Roosevelt, Rough Rider, and the bronze bust that sits so proudly in the hall of the Smithsonian.
Some great special effects also highlight this film as once again the Museum comes to life when the sun goes down.
Bill Hader as General George Armstrong Custer, is a laugh-a-minute, and the scene between him and Sacajawea is priceless, I don't care how many times you have seen it in the trailers. Out of context it is funny, but in context of the film, you will hurt your sides from laughing so hard.
Sure there are some very predictable moments in the film, and you can the ending coming a mile away, but movies are supposed to be an escape, and take you away from the trials and tribulation of the world, and this movie does just that.
I can highly recommend "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian". On the "Junkie-Meter" it gets a solid Four Stars.
;D
