Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian

Well I hope that everybody had a Good Friday.  I only hope that this next review will be helpful as you choose what you see this week. 

Dear Casting Director,

            I appreciate the fact that you wanted to get just about every fairly well known comedian in one movie, and have some fun with it.  While it was fun to see some favs like Jay Baruchal, and Thomas Lennon, it was NOT A FUN…I repeat NOT A FUN movie to watch.  If you could tell the writer of this movie to find a better job because it made no sense at all.   A bunch of statues trying to prevent the evil yet ridiculous Hank Azaria [yeah that’s right the guy from Tuesdays with Morie is the villain] from bringing his friends back from the dead.  As I watched this movie I noticed the dialogue between characters being extremely long, come to think of it Mr. Casting Director, with half the people in this movie being sketch comedy actors, I am wondering if 50% of this movie was not scripted, and therefore you picked live actors to play a lot of the roles, either way BAD MOVIE.  I will give you credit for my boy Owen Wilson; at least he got some solid screen time, and was a part of my favorite scene alongside Steve Coogan.  Steve Coogan?  Yeah I know who he is, but to my fans I just want to say watch out for this guy, because he may be one of the funniest men in movies today.  Great casting for them, as far as everyone else I think I lost a lot of respect for them just because there really was no need for them to be in the movie.  So thanks for ruining my view of what I think are some pretty cool actors, now I just think their idiots for actually looking at this script and thinking, “OH YEAH I COULD TOTALLY DO THAT.”  Last thing Amy Adams was a solid choice for Amelia Airheart, next time you do casting leave her out of it she deserves better writing and directing.  Thanks for your time.

  Readers, Fan, everyone who dare read this blog listen up.  This movie is not good.  That is a lot coming from me seeing that I like a lot of movies that most people think are bad…the 6th Man.  It’s not as bad a Drillbit Taylor, but still its bad.  I feel like the whole movie is like on run-on sentence.  Sure take your kids to see it, it will waste 2 hours of your life, and you kids will just like seeing monkeys hug each other.  It’s a win win, you can nap, and your kid can have a good time.  I wish I could say don’t even rent this movie, but because I like so many people in the movie, and I really like the first one I am going to give this movie a…

  1. That's so odd because it looked so good in the trailer. I mean, the scene where the monkeys punch Ben Stiller, even after he tells them to stop? What a hoot!

    PS: Steve Coogan is awesome. Everyone should rent Tristam Shanty, 24 Hour Party People, and Hamlet 2 for verification. Hopefully, he'll start picking better roles here in the states...
