A great family movie that has come out to DVD recently and would be great to watch when the relatives come home for the holidays is Night at the Museum 2. Larry Daley played by Ben Stiller, who was the night watch man in the first movie has gone on to become a self made multi-millionaire, with his Daley products. The movie takes place at the Smithsonian exhibits, where his friends that come to life at the museum he used to work at are getting shipped to another Museum in order to be preserved and put away for good. New technology is going to replace them at the Museum of Natural History in which the board decides will bring in more people to visit. Daley finds out and feels that he is losing the people that made him who he is today. He gets a call from Jedediah Smith that is played by Owen Wilson, about the tablet being taken with them by the monkey. The tablet brings Kahmunrah (Hank Azaria) to life who is the brother of Ahkmenrah (Rami Malek), he wants to bring back his army in order to take over the world. Daley finds himself in a great adventure where he finds himself face to face with some of the most famous people ever. Some of these people are Al Capone (Jon Bernthal), Napoleon Bonaparte (Alain Chabat), and Ivan the Terrible (Christopher Guest). In the end Daley and his counterpart throughout the movie Amelia Earhart who is played by Amy Adams, end up taking down the powers that were trying to take over the world, but only with the help of many others of the past. Daley sells his company and donates a great amount of money to keep the exhibits in the Museum that he used to guard at night. Only this time he opens it up at night to let everyone enjoy the real life exhibits for themselves. We give this movie two and a half thumbs. Written by movie crew critic: Adam Danch
