Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian Review...

On December 1st, Fox Home Entertainment will release NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN on DVD & Blu-ray!

My family was excited to get to review the Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian DVD.

This second Night at the Museum movie is just as funny as the first. I love all the characters in this movie. The Rock Face that calls everyone dumb dumb, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt played by Robin Williams. I thought it was hilarious when the 2 monkeys were slapping Ben Stiller and he started slapping them back. This is a good family movie and it keep you entertained through the whole movie.

All the special features on this DVD are great too.

THE BIGGEST ACTION-ADVENTURE FAMILY COMEDY IN HISTORY IS BACK

When the lights go off the battle is on! A delightful adventure, Night At The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian arrives in a Blu-ray Disc/DVD Combo Pack (Blu-ray, DVD and a Digital Copy) and for a limited time only a “Monkey Mischief” double DVD on December 1 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

History is larger than life — and twice as funny — in this monumental comedy sequel. Ben Stiller (Meet The Parents, There’s Something About Mary) stars as Larry Daley, a former night watchman at the Museum of Natural History, where the exhibits come alive after dark. But now Larry’s nocturnal friends are being retired to the archives of the Smithsonian Institution, luring him back for a hilarious, all-out battle against a cranky Egyptian Pharaoh who plans to take over the museum... and the world! From returning director Shawn Levy (Cheaper By The Dozen), the film also stars Amy Adams (Enchanted), Robin Williams (Good Will Hunting), Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers), Hank Azaria (“The Simpsons”), Ricky Gervais (“The Office”), Steve Coogan (Tropic Thunder) and Jonah Hill (Super Bad).
