Against my better judgment, I think I might actually fork over the $12.50 to see Night at Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. The first one was so bland, I actually don’t remember much of it. And I am in no way a fan of Ben Stiller. Finally, I laughed just one time in the trailer, at Bill Hader’s "Sac-a-ja-me-ha" line. So, why exactly am I curious about the sequel? What’s wrong with me?!
I think my curiosity lies in two individuals, specifically. There’s Amy Adams, whom Owen Gleiberman says steals the film. She’s pretty much the most lovable actress in the movies these days. The second person: Hank Azaria, who plays the villainous pharaoh Kahmunrah. Everyone knows Azaria is as great at accents as Stiller is at playing the same role in every movie. (Uh-oh. My anti-Ben tendencies are showing again.) I’m curious to hear his take on what he says is an impersonation of Boris Karloff. It sounds hilarious. Even so, the movie seems like harmless fun and perfect for a lazy matinee endeavor. So I’m in.
What movie(s) are you planning on seeing this holiday weekend, PopWatchers? (Terminator Salvation?) Anyone else share my interest in Night at the Museum 2? And are there any movies you paid to see when you knew in the back of your mind they were probably going to totally blow? I’ll get the party started: I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Poor life choice.
I just got back from seeing Night at the Museum with the kids, and I laughed all the way through. Out loud. There is lots in this movie for the “grown ups”, definitely worth checking out.
I’m also not a Ben Stiller fan, but I did enjoy the first Night at the Museum when I saw it on the plane. So I an interested in seeing the sequel, however I need to see Star Trek first.
That was the same part of the trailer I laughed at,.but it’s not enough to make me want to see the whole thing in the theater. I’ll wait til dvd. I’m going to see Terminator this weekend.
If I do end up seeing this it will be to take my 4-year old niece to see it. (that and that lovely Bill Hader/Amy Adams combo I’ve so longed for…)
I want to see this movie too! I watched the first one and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Plus, I love Hank Azaria, no matter how small the part
we’re planning on just going to see Star Trek again ….
I’m going to watch Terminator and then sneak to Stiller after. http://www.cuteguysandgirls.com/
I may see “Night at the Museum 2″ this weekend, because my mom is interested in it. Also, I agree that Hank Azaria is hilarious. I already saw “Terminator Salvation” and was pretty impressed – it was worth paying for.
The last movie I paid to see that I knew would be bad was “Dragonball Evolution.” Luckily, it was at a discount movie theater, and I went with my husband and friend, and we had a great time anyway.

I’m not a Ben Stiller fan either, but I liked Night At the Museum and will probably go see the sequel. The movie I went to see knowing it would totally blow? This is going to prove how old I am, but it was The Main Event with Barbra Streisand and Ryan O’Neal. My mom is a huge Babs fan and basically forced me to go see it with her. To my mom’s credit, she hated the movie, too.
Saw this one today and really liked it,( but I rally liked the first one too.). Amy Adams was great, as was Azaria, also.
