No more an underachieving security guard, Larry has become a top inventor and left his artefact friends at New York’s Museum of Natural History behind.
But they’re now being put into storage at the Smithsonian and things get complicated when the tablet that animates them is included – bringing all of the Smithsonian exhibits to life too.
Larry must restore order before the awakened Egyptian pharoah Kamunrah realises his plan to conquer the world with his army of the undead.
Ben Stiller, Ricky Gervais, Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan all reprise their roles for this sequel, which is pacier and more plot-driven that its predecessor.
The gags come thick and fast, though not all of them hit the mark, and there’s cameo appearances from the likes of Eugene Levy, Christopher Guest and Clint Eastwood to name but a few.
Night at the Museum 2 may fall short of its potential but it’s still a fun family film.

Tom Hanks returns as symbologist Robert Langdon, who is called upon to save the Catholic church from the ancient order of the Illuminati – devotees of scientific thinking set on destroying Vatican City.
The eyes of the world are focussed on Rome where the College of Cardinals is in Conclave to select the new Pope.
But when a messenger of the Illuminati reveals an unstoppable time bomb is hidden beneath Vatican City – the final act in its vendetta against the church – Langdon is joined by scientist Vittoria Vetra on a desperate hunt through the catacombs beneath Rome.
