Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian


IT'S LIGHTS OUT AGAIN FOR BEN STILLER.
THE EXHIBITS COME BACK TO LIFE BUT THE SCRIPT IS DEAD ON ARRIVAL IN "NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM- BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN."
This time, Stiller's ex night guard must find a way to rescue his favorite historical exhibits from deep storage at the Smithsonian.
With an entire museum at their disposal, the filmmakers throw in everything but the kitchen sink.
But the film is just dumb, dull, and devoid of inspiration.
They simply can't think of anything interesting for them to do.
Hank Azaria- sounding like an effeminate Boris Karlof- forms a new axis of evil with some of history's greatest villains such as Al Capone and Napoleon.
But all they do is stand around and make short jokes.
The dated slang, and moldy pop culture references are completely at odds with the historical figures spouting them, and worst of all they're not funny. Soon I started to ask myself questions like, How does Einstein know the words to KC And The Sunshine Band?
And where did Abraham Lincoln here the phrase blah blah blah?
Take your kids to the Field Museum instead of this epic waste of talent.
