After seeing Night at the Museum, I was very excited to see the second one.  Not only is it hilarious and has some action, you learn about some world history!

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian has an all-star casting including, Ben Stiller, Amy Adams, Robin Williams, and Owen Wilson, just to name a few.  Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) is an inventor who does not seem to be totally satisfied with his new job of being owner and inventor of Daley Devices.  Larry used to be the night guard at the Museum of Natural History, so he takes a ride over to see his friends.  Once inside the the museum, he sees that a lot of the exhibits are being packed up and shipped to federal storage for renovations and upgrades.  He says goodbye to all the exhibits and heads out.  Larry gets a phone call the next night from Jedediah (Owen Wilson) saying that the tablet was brought on accident and now the new exhibits are in danger.  Larry flies to Washington D.C. to help his friends out.  He steals the badge of a night guard, and finds Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams) who helps him save his friends.  An evil Pharoah, Kahmunrah, is not happy with these intruders and gives Larry one hour to get the code to the tablet or his friends all die.  Larry and Amelia visit many exhibits to find out the code to save everyone, and we even get to see a little romance with Amelia Earhart falling for Larry.

This is a great family movie as these exhibits come to life and we learn about our world’s history.  I would definitely watch the first movie so you know the plot and how Larry Daley becomes friends with all these exhibits that come to life.  Then the second movie makes more sense, has a lot more action and humor, and it all ties together.  Did I mention that there is a cameo of the Jonas Brothers singing?!?  Oh yes, there are three singings statues, and they are the Jonas Brothers! I really enjoyed watching this film, and I if you have a chance, you will sit and watch it too.
