Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) finds himself in the biggest, most mind-boggling family adventure yet when history comes to life in the local museum. This time the museum is bigger, the adventure is wilder & the bad guys are even more evil...or so they like to think, as an Egyptian Pharaoh plans to take over the world! Leading an all star cast (including Amy Adams, Owen Wilson, Hank Azaria, Steve Coogan, Ricky Gervais & Robin Williams), Larry ends up tackling a huge squid & rather pesky monkeys, & takes on his biggest job yet to save the museum & his friends place in history. This edition also contains a Digital Copy of the film. Now you can watch Night at the Museum 2 where you want, when you want! ...

An irresistible concept meets computer-generated wonders in Night at the Museum, inspired by a 1993 children's book by Milan Trenc. Ben Stiller stars as Larry Daley, an underachieving inventor waiting for his ship to come in while getting evicted from one apartment after another for lack of funds. Larry's son needs some stability, so the well-meaning ne'er-do-well takes a job as night watchman at New York City's Museum of Natural History. What the soon-to-retire guards (Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Bill Cobbs) don't tell him is that an ancient pharaoh's tablet in the museum causes everything on display to come to life at night. Thus, Larry meets representations of Teddy Roosevelt, Attila the Hun, fire-worshipping cavemen, & Roman Empire soldiers, & learns to cope with an excitable T-Rex & man-eating, ancient animals. The film might have left things at that, but an added story element gives Night at the Museum some extra urgency & excitement, especially for kids: Larry becomes responsible for keeping this nightly miracle going & preventing anything in the museum from dying due to exposure to sunrise. Computer effects, as well as wildly imaginative costumes & makeup, help make the film appeal to the 8-year-old in everyone. Director Shawn Levy (The Pink Panther) works with a hugely talented cast, including Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Ricky Gervais, Carla Gugino, & Steve Coogan. --Tom Keogh. This film has a runtime of 104 minutes & is rated PG ...
