Night At The Museum 2

Pretty run of the mill sequel stuff. Watched it with Luke as a movienight treat, Mrs Fletch brought him his dinner on a tray so he didn't even have to pause it - he was in hog's heaven. Nice plot device to get the action taken to somewhere with loads of fresh new exhibits to animate. Everyone seems to be having a nicey-nice time. Two things that made father and son laugh lots? 1 - Coogan's little Roman charging dramatically through the White House lawn but then cut to a wide shot and you can't see anything happening. 2 - Monkey in space suit running to open door and then leaping through the air in slo-mo to hit the button. This last one actually warranted a rewind and watch again. I am clearly a very serious and highbrow film critic.

Nodded off a little bit. Missed the bit about some code combination shenanigan to open the gate to the underworld but didn't seem to matter too much. When the solution's revealed by a band of nodding Einstein toys you know you don't need to worry a great deal about catching up though. Bye bye! No you hang up, love you. Bye!

  1. You're being too kind. This movie was a travesty. Maybe it's because you watched it with someone who it was more targeted towards but man, this movie is just dumb dumb dumb. I liked the first one slightly but oh boy was this one unbearable. Glad you found some worth in it though.

  2. Yeh, watching it with a youngling definitely helped. As did the brief snooze I had.
