Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian


Larry Daly, now a successful inventor returns to the Natural History Museum to find that many of his exhibit friends are being sent to the Federal Archives for storage. In an effort to save them, he travels to Washington DC to the basement of the Smithsonian where once again chaos ensues.

I was actually pleasantly surprised that this wasn't the same movie spun out just at a different location. There is a decent storyline and a lot of fun to be had combining world history with American iconography. It was cute, coherent, and despite the many loose ends that never really get tied up, still was an acceptable sequel. They wasted no time in setting up the story and the movie comes in under two hours.

Fine family fun.

*** Must See

Rated PG (mild violence)
Also on a side note--it made more money opening weekend than Terminator Salvation. :)
