Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (8/10)


A charming and consistent follow-up to the 2006's Night at the Museum. Stiller manages to keep the infantile humor to a minimum (always a trap for his films) and the pace going nicely. The Smithsonian is the perfect way to expand the "history comes alive" theme from the first movie, and the new additions are for the most part very well done. The romance is turned up a notch from the first, which isn't saying much, and they managed to wrap it up with a trick similar to the musical Aida so that it doesn't leave you all bummed out. I recommend both films for all ages.
