Night at the Museum 2

#1 Post by a_person » Fri Jun 19, 2009 6:19 pm

Ben Stiller returns as Larry Daley, the unfortunate night watchman who continues to encounter living and breathing museum exhibits in Night at the Museum 2: Escape From the Smithsonian, 20th Century Fox's tent-pole sequel from director Shawn Levy. Scott Frank, Robert Ben Garant, and Thomas Lennon provide the script, with Chris Columbus returning to handle producing duties. Amy Adams (Enchanted) and Hank Azaria join the returning cast of Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais, and Owen Wilson in the 1492 and 21 Laps Entertainment co-production.

watched this the other night, not expecting much. It was actually not that bad, hank azaria doing his best michael palin impersonation getting a few laugh out loud moments. 7/10

Ah well, I suppose someone has got to own up. Yes, I went to see it one Thursday night. It was all right, nothing to set the world on fire, and pretty much in the same vein as the previous one, though with a bit of a nod towards 'The Mummy' in places. The chap who played the Pharoah (Hank Azaria) was amusing, but the other characters were lacklustre really. Amy Adams' bottom (in tight trousers) was in several scenes.
Several children in the audience enjoyed it, and to be fair, it is a family movie after all, so I will give it 6/10.
