In Theatres?

So I realized the other day when I was doing this up-coming Sunday's post, (Don't say overachiever because I'm not) I have been doing movies that have been on DVD for at least a year or two. Last night I had the opportunity to go and see Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian with some passes. For those who don't know this is a sequel. Surprise. The original starred Ben Stiller and Robin Williams. Stiller plays a night watchman at The Natural History Museum in NYC who really wants to be an inventor. Williams was a wax model of Teddy Roosevelt in the museum. The whole movie revolves around this tablet that allows the exhibits to come to life. To make a long story short for the sake of catching people up, the old night watchmen try and steal the tablet and Stiller along with the help of the museum's exhibits stop them.

Flash forward two years when the sequel takes place. Stiller is a successful inventor with his own company. He still routinely visits the museum to visit at night, one night he goes and finds out the exhibits are being shipped off to the federal archives at the Smithsonian Institute. Stiller tries everything to keep them from being put into storage without the tablet but he fails. After they have left one of the exhibits calls him saying they are being attacked. Stiller rushes off to try and help. He runs into another security guard played by Jonah Hill (surprise he is in everything). The battle ensues between Stiller and bad guys throughout time. Al Capone, Ivan the Terrible, or awesome (played by Christopher Guest) and the leader of the bad guys Kahmunrah (played by Hank Azaria who has two other roles in the movie).

Overall the movie was pretty amusing. I laughed out loud throughout most of the movie. If you liked the first one then you will like this one even more because it is better than the first. Go check this movie out and tell me what you think.
