Plot

Two years after the events of the first film, Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) becomes a CEO of Daley Devices, a direct response television company that sells inventions inspired by his experiences as a night security guard at the American Museum of Natural History. While wealthy and successful, he has not had the time to see his museum exhibit friends in several months.

One day when Larry returns to the museum, he finds out that it is closed for renovations and upgrades. He asks his former boss Dr. McPhee (Ricky Gervais) about it. McPhee tells him that because not many people have come to the museum in a long time, he has been asked to replace almost all of the museum exhibits which are moving to the Federal Archives at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.; and fill the museum with new holographic exhibits that automatically answer questions on historical subjects. Later that night, Larry goes into the museum to visit his friends one last time and he is told that while Theodore Roosevelt (Robin Williams), Rexy the Tyrannosaurus skeleton, the Easter Island Head (Brad Garrett), and Pharaoh Akhmenrah (Rami Malek) will remain at the museum, Jedediah (Owen Wilson), Octavius (Steve Coogan), their fellow minifigures, Attila the Hun (Patrick Gallagher), Sacagawea (Mizuo Peck), Dexter the Capuchin Monkey, and the Neanderthals will no longer come to life since the Golden Tablet of Akhmenrah that animated the exhibits each night will also remain.

After the exhibits leave, Larry receives a call from Jedediah. Dexter stole Akhmenrah's tablet and brought it to the Federal Archives and that Akhmenrah's evil older brother Pharaoh Kahmunrah (Hank Azaria) is attacking Jedediah and the other exhibits. Larry travels to Washington, D.C. and visits the National Air and Space Museum, the National Gallery of Art, and the Smithsonian Institution Building, searching for the Federal Archives with the help of his son Nick (Jake Cherry).

Larry sneaks into the Archives disguised as a Smithsonian guard and locates the exhibits, frozen in their shipping container in the middle of a battle with Kahmunrah. As Larry obtains the tablet, the sun sets and the exhibits and others at the Smithsonian come alive. Kahmunrah tells Larry that bringing exhibits to life is just one of the tablet's powers and that he intends to use it to conquer the world by raising an army from the Egyptian Underworld.

Larry releases a gigantic octopus in storage. The octopus attacks the Egyptian troops while Larry escapes them with the help of General George Armstrong Custer (Bill Hader). Custer is captured after he is knocked off the motorcycle Larry uses to escape. Larry meets the beautiful and adventurous Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams), who is attracted to Larry and accompanies him through the National Gallery. While moving through the paintings, Larry and Amelia end up in V-J Day in Times Square with a sailor named Joey Motorola (Jay Baruchel). Larry and Amelia trap Kahmunrah's soldiers in the photograph. After losing his men, Kahmunrah allies with historical leaders Ivan the Terrible (Christopher Guest), Al Capone (Jon Bernthal), and Napoleon Bonaparte (Alain Chabat). Napoleon captures and takes Larry to Kahmunrah. Jedediah is captured by Al Capone's men trying to rescue Larry, but Octavius escapes.

Amelia Earhart's plane as seen in the film.

Kahmunrah attempts to open the Gate of the Underworld by pressing the symbols on the tablet, but the combination has changed. Kahmunrah forces Larry to obtain the new combination before sunrise by trapping Jedediah in a filling hourglass. Larry returns to the National Gallery and reunites with Amelia. They pass a bust of Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams) who reads the hieroglyphics on the tablet revealing that Larry can find the combination by figuring out the secret at the heart of Pharaoh's tomb. Amelia takes Larry to a statue of The Thinker (Hank Azaria) for help, but he gets distracted. Amelia says he's "no Einstein" making Larry remember that he saw Einstein bobble heads in the National Air and Space Museum. They end up sharing a kiss.

Ivan the Terrible brings Darth Vader and Oscar the Grouch to Kahmunrah saying they want to help take over the world but Kahmunrah rejects them. When Larry and Amelia walk over to the Air and Space museum, Kahmunrah assumes he's trying to escape and tells his allies to kill Larry and bring him the tablet. Meanwhile, Octavius goes to the White House to find help but can't make it across the lawn, and is kidnapped by an eastern gray squirrel. Larry and Amelia hide from Russian troops and visit the statue of Abraham Lincoln (Hank Azaria) at the Lincoln Memorial. When it is safe they go to the National Air and Space Museum where Larry stops the rockets from blasting off and meets Abel the space monkey. They consult the Albert Einstein bobbleheads (Eugene Levy), who tell them that the new combination is the value of pi. When they are found by Napoleon, Ivan, and Capone, Larry and Amelia escape in the Wright Flyer while the exhibit Tuskegee Airmen hold them off, and they return to the Smithsonian Institution Building. The two separate with Amelia searching for help while Larry delays Kahmunrah.

Napoleon, Ivan, and Capone obtain the combination from one of the bobbleheads. Kahmunrah opens the Gate of the Underworld and summons an army of Horus Warriors. Octavius returns on the squirrel and brings along The Lincoln statue, forcing the Horus Warriors to retreat to the Egyptian Underworld and Amelia frees the New York exhibits from their container and also recruits the Smithsonian exhibits. As the exhibits battle, Octavius frees Jedediah from the hourglass and they attack the enemies from below and Larry is able to obtain the tablet. Napoleon Bonaparte, Al Capone and Ivan the Terrible stop Larry, but he distracts them by asking them who is the boss enabling him to escape while the three of them argue. Larry is stopped by Kahmunrah, but overpowers him and banishes him to the Egyptian Underworld. While the gigantic octopus goes into the waters near the Washington Monument, Amelia flies Larry and the New York exhibits back to the Natural History Museum before flying back to Washington, knowing that she will turn to dust at sunrise if she does not return to the Smithsonian.

Larry sells his company and donates the money to the museum to restore the exhibits. Two months later, the museum reopens with Roosevelt and Akhmenrah as tour guides, Attila as a storyteller, and other exhibits come to life in public as "animatronics" at the museum, which now stays open after sunset. Larry is rehired as the night guard, and meets a young woman named Tess (Amy Adams) who looks like Amelia. She asks for help going through the museum because she is "always getting lost."

Critical reaction

Like its predecessor, the sequel has received mixed reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 44% "rotten" approval rating, based on 163 reviews, with an average score of 5.1/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian is busy enough to keep the kids interested but the slapstick goes overboard and the special effects (however well executed) throw the production into mania".[15] Another review aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, gave the film an average score of 42% based on 31 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[16]

Despite mixed reviews from critics, most critics praised Amy Adams' and Hank Azaria's performances. Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune awarded the film 3 stars stating that "[Adams]'s terrific -- a sparkling screen presence."[17] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B+ stating "Battle of the Smithsonian has plenty of life. But it's Adams who gives it zing."[18] Also, many reviews noted the costume worn by Amy Adams during the movie.[19] Perry Seibert of TV Guide gave the film 2 stars despite honoring that "thanks to Azaria, a master of comic timing. His grandiose, yet slightly fey bad guy is equally funny when he's chewing out minions as he is when deliberating if Oscar the Grouch and Darth Vader are evil enough to join his team.[20] Michael Rechtshaffen of the Hollywood Reporter and A.O. Scott of The New York Times enjoyed both performances.[21][22]

One critic panned the movie on its excessive use of special effects as noted by Scott Tobias of the A.V. Club when he described the film as "a baffling master plot and a crowded pileup of special effects in search of something to do."[23] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times awarded the film 1½ stars out of 4 claiming "its premise is lame, its plot relentlessly predictable, its characters with personalities that would distinguish picture books."[24]

In CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend, cinema audiences gave Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale.[25]

Ben Stiller admitted that a sequel was "a possibility" and on January 22, 2010, co-writer Thomas Lennon said to Access Hollywood, "That after the success of two Night at the Museum films, it's no surprise that 20th Century Fox is looking to develop a third and that those suspicions are indeed true and how could you not? I think it's a really outstanding idea to do Night at the Museum 3, in fact," he said. "I wonder if someone's not even already working on a script for that," he added with a raised eyebrow. "I cannot confirm that for a fact, but I cannot deny it for a fact either... It might be in the works." In an interview, Stiller confirmed the sequel, however, he said that it was only in the "ideas stage".[29]
