Leave your thoughts about Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanBattle of the Smithsonian has plenty of life. But it's Adams who gives it zing. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsNothing elegant about Adams here, but she's terrific -- a sparkling screen presence. Her Earhart hoists this big-budget sequel above the routine. |
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachTakes a great idea -- what if the inhabitants of a museum came to life at night? -- and milks it for every drop of fun it's worth. |
| Village VoiceMichelle OrangeThough it's a little slow to start and some of the humor clunks, the film features a wholesome charm, some truly dazzling effects (the Lincoln Memorial alone is worth it), and enough mild, parent-nip in-jokes to keep all but the stone-hearted happy. |
| EmpireHelen O'HaraIt’s funnier this time, but still veers noticeably from kid-friendly slapstick to adult-friendly banter. |
| The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenSome of that frenetic running around has been replaced by inspired effects sequences and amusing riffs by the talented cast, especially new arrivals Hank Azaria and Amy Adams. |
| The New YorkerDavid DenbyNight at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is what my mother would have called a kakabarly--a large, foaming broth into which she emptied the forlorn and highly miscellaneous contents of her icebox. |
| Portland OregonianM. E. RussellYour 12-and-unders will dig it, and it might even serve as a sort of movie-Bookmobile and get them to read a little history, or at least a little Wikipedia. But otherwise it's utterly dispensable. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliIt's harmless. And pointless. And dumb. This is a perfect example of a motion picture that exists exclusively because its predecessor made a lot of money. |
| TV Guide MagazinePerry SeibertWithout Azaria's comedic gifts, the movie would be close to unendurable. |
