First off I want to say that the first night at the museum was an awsome movie. It was funny and different. When I found out they made a part 2 I was very excited. During the whole movie i stayed glued to the screen, not only was there laughs but i had that feeling of being pleased because I payed for a good movie =)

I grew up in Chicago and fell in love with the Museum of Science & Industry plus numerous other great Museum's. I always wanted to hide in one of the exhibits until everyone left because I knew it would come alive. I was so taken by the first that this one was even better...to me....someone who loved the dream.

We enjoyed this more than the first Night at the Museum. It is extra fun if you have visited the Smithsonian museums, but if not, you still can enjoy this film. We are a sixtish couple, but I would take my grandkids. Probably best for kids five and over . . . and there are little mini - history lessons woven in the story. Ben Stiller was more of a backdrop character in this film than in the first. My favorites were the Eygptian guy, the Roman soldier and Amelia Earhart and the cowboy Owen Wilson played. Great special effects and fun chase scenes.

HUMOR!!! HISTORY!!!!! GREAT FAMILY MOVIE.... WE WENT TO THE 2 PM SHOW.....3/4 OF AUDEANCE ARE FAMILY'S OR 4 OR MORE. EVERYONE LAUGHED, CHEERED EVEN ROOTED FOR THEIR CHARACTER! ACTOR/ACTRESS WERE ALL PERFECT FOR THEIR CHARACTERS, GOOD STORY...KEEPED EVERYONE OF ALL AGES INTO THE MOVIE... TOP 5 FAMILY MOVIE THIS YR.....A MUST SEE IN '09 ENJOY THIS MOVIE!!!!!

It was a much needed improvement over the last movie that came out in 2006. Great characters, as well as great actors. There was much more comedy in this movie and I must say I rather enjoyed it. The Museum of Natural History is closed down for renovation. The board wants to install new "interactive" pieces on display which means that the old displays will not be needed and are soon to be moved to the federal archives of the Smithsonian Museum. In a turn of events the centerpiece that brings the Museum of Natural History alive is brought to the Smithsonian bringing one of the worlds largest Museums to life. Now its a battle of wits, and courage trying to put everything back into place. Larry (Ben Stiller) once again finds himself in a bind and is helped by Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams) to restore peace. I really enjoyed seeing this movie and I think its a great movie to bring a date, or your kids to see.
