Night at the Museum 2

Blog No. 142: Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

I went with the movies with my mom today, 5/22.

We were going to see the new Star Trek movie, but my mom wanted to save that one for a better, less tiring day. So instead, we saw Night at the Museum.

Movie Review: Night at the Museum 2

Larry Daley, once a security guard at a New York museum, becomes a successful inventor. Unfortunately, that meant leaving the museum at a time of need, when a bunch of the exhibits are doomed to a fate of storage in one of the bottom levels of the Smithsonian archives. The monkey stole the magical tablet thingy, which by happenstance wakes up the Egyptian's older brother, also located in the archives, with world conquest aspirations. Apparently, the tablet can open the door to the underworld, also in the archives, with the right combination. Thus ensues an adventure where Larry finds that it isn't how you move up in the world that brings you happiness, but it's doing what you love, or something along those lines...

I wouldn't watch so much for the storyline, really. What would grab you would be the comedy/visual effects that go along in the movie. 

Each character really ham up the screen and play their roles very well. Amy Adams as Amelia Earheart kinda reminded me of her role as Gisell in Enchanted, for good reasons. She really was the center of all the romantic cliched female roles. Granted, most of the comedy leans on the cliched side, some of it's still pretty funny lto laugh at. It's refreshing. XP

My favorite characters would have to be those singing cherubs. They reminded me of those Muses in the Disney Hercules movie.

To my surprise, those cherubs were actually the Jonas Brothers...

This video kinda made it better.

All I can say is that it's about time Joe got shoved into that corner. XP

All in all, Night at the Museum continues its comedic stride in this funny sequel.

Rating: 3 Out of 5 Thumbs Up---> Worth seeing at least once.
