Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

The result is pretty much a free-form traffic jam in which everyone fights everyone else.

a scattergun trawl through human (albeit mostly American) history and culture, with the emphasis more on entertainment than instruction.

All up it's Levy's best work so far and while I realise that's faint praise, it's far from being damning.

The Lincoln Memorial statue is something of a travesty.

Though brimming with computer special effects and celebrity cameos, the movie’s marvels are hardly impressive, given that they’ve recycled everything from the first and just added a couple of new features for good measure.

A really, really stupid comedy.

Robin Williams, as well, explodes every single time he's onscreen in a performance with even more spark and humor than in the original.

Clever, charming and with enough fire-power to hold the attention and raise a chuckle, Night at the Museum 2 hasn't strayed far from the winning formula of simple story and complex CGI set down by the first film.
