Ben Stiller returns as his character Mr. Daley, but not as the night guard but as a successful inventor of the new glow in the dark flashlight. When he finds his old friends at the Museum of Natural History in New York City being boxed up and shipped off to the Smithsonian to be placed in the archives for eternity he has to help save the day.
This sequel has everyone in it from Ivan The Terrible (Christopher Guest), Young Al Capone, Cherubs, Darth Vader, The Grouch from Sesame Street, General Custer, President Abraham Lincoln, NASA Astronauts, Giant Octapi to Napoleon (Alain Chabat).
The Movie is very entertaining, funny, full of surprises and thrills. Fighter jets fly through the grand Smithsonian halls as extinct Woolly Mammoths wander about while flying dinosaurs soar above the exhibits from the two separate museums fighting for control of the magical tablet that would let Kahmunrah (Hank Azaria) the King of Kings have control of the world.
Mr. Daley teams up with Amelia Earhart played by Amy Adams to return the exhibits back to their proper museum before it's too late.
There is so much going on at all times you may have to watch it more than once to see it all. From the statues coming to life to the portraits becoming human like to the main characters hiding out in a world inside a photograph hanging on the wall. It's all there!
We loved it! My kids loved it! It's a keeper. I recommend this movie and give it a thumbs up!
Movie debuts on Memorial Day!
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars!
Will have to see this one! I really liked the first one and am always using two of the lines from it..both from Mickey Rooney:
"You look like a weirdie"
"Are you cracking wise?"
Both of those still crack me up. :)
