Donna and I saw “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” last night and we were pleasantly surprised by how much we liked it. It kind of felt like a mix between a Saturday morning cartoon and a comedy hour hosted by Ben Stiller. With a lot of CG thrown in for the kids.

Ben Stiller bounces from one comedy actor to another, showcasing their accents and comedic timing. Stiller has a few funny parts, but he isn’t as central as the first movie. Amy Adams plays Giselle, er, I mean, Amelia Earhart. She spends the movie saying bouncy things like “jimmy-jacked”, as well as waxing poetic about how wonderful adventure is.

Don’t expect any kind of character development or plot twists. Do expect Hank Azaria to deliver several funny bits with a hilarious lisp. 3 stars out of two possible thumbs up.
