Editorial Review:
History is larger than life—and twice as funny—in this monumental comedy sequel that’s “better than the original” (At the Movies)! Ben Stiller leads an all-star cast (including Amy Adams, Owen Wilson, Hank Azaria and Robin Williams) as Larry Daley, a former night watchman at the Museum of Natural History, where the exhibits come to life after dark. But now Larry’s nocturnal friends are being retired to the archives of the Smithsonian Institution, luring him back for a hilarious, all-out battle against museum misfits who plan to take over the Smithsonian...and the world!

Description of Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (Two-Disc Monkey Mischief Pack):
Ben Stiller wrestles with extinct beasts, historical figures, and meddling monkeys in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, the sequel to the popular 2006 special-effects extravaganza. This time, the ancient Egyptian tablet (the one that brings all the exhibits at New York's Museum of Natural History to life at night) is being shipped off to the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.--which, as the movie diligently tells us, is the largest museum in the world. Naturally, former museum guard Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) heads down to rescue it (and, by extension, keep his magical museum friends alive). He ends up fighting with a nasty pharaoh who talks like Boris Karloff (Hank Azaria, The Simpsons) and falling in love with Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams, Enchanted). All the old gang are along for the ride, including Dexter the monkey; much face-slapping and special effects ensue. There aren't many surprises, but Battle of the Smithsonian is cheerful enough to entertain everyone who enjoyed the first movie. Extras include commentaries by the director and the writers, the usual self-congratulatory making-of featurette, deleted scenes that are actually as good as the rest of the movie, an alternate ending, and an entirely pointless second disc about Crystal, the capuchin monkey who plays Dexter (the monkey disc has less than a half-hour of material, including two mediocre games). The great supporting cast from the first movie returns, including Owen Wilson, Steve Coogan, and Robin Williams. --Bret Fetzer

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (Two-Disc Monkey Mischief Pack) Reviews:
Great entertaining movie for the whole family 
2009-12-28 - I loved this movie! it was not quiet as good as the first one but it was still worth every penny spent so i would recommend this blu-ray dvd to anyone
movie review 
2009-12-27 - It is entertaining but I liked the first one better. My grandson enjoyed it more than I did.
"Fantastic and Entertaining film!" 
2009-12-27 - i thought at first this film was gonna be a flop like Men in Black 2, sequels are not easy to make, but they really pulled it thru! I'm buying it for my blu-ray collection!!!
This movie stinks! 
2009-12-27 - As a former museum guard in New York city, this thing is terrible. I stopped watching after 5 minutes. I had my doubts, and that's why I never saw it until now (several years after it's release), but this turkey is SO bad I can't recomend it to anyone except very young kids who like dinosaurs. The worst.
Ok and Fun
2009-12-24 - The movie is indeed fun and amusing. The special effects are good and Hank and Amy are real treats to watch. However, Ben seemed to be going through the motions and there appeared to be no real attachment to his role. Everything is predictable in the plot but fun. Good video fare but glad I did not pay theater price.Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (Single-Disc Edition)
