Night at the museum... interesting enough

OK, I didn't see the first one. And seeing the sequel, i.e., Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian was actually an "accident". I guess, I haven't really seen any comedy movie for a while, and there is no harm to see this one. Well, it has Ben Stiller, let alone Robin Williams and Owen Wilson, even though they both are only supporting, but I guess this movie should be funny enough. Plus, it has special effects, i.e., all those exhibits in the museum will be "given" life.


So, was I entertained? Actually it is quite a fun movie. I mean even though it is not as explosive as Transformers 2, nor as touching as Up, it is like a dessert at the end of some nice appetizer (i.e., Up) and really tasty main course (i.e., Transformers).

Not to spoil you here. The story begins with Larry Daley (i.e., Stiller) having a very good and successful life with his own business (I assume he has quite his night guard job in the museum after the first movie). However, is he happy with his new luxurious life? Apparently not. He went back to the museum to visit his old "buddies", i.e., those exhibits in the first movie. He found out that his buddies were going to be stored in the big archive forever. And, somehow, when his buddies were in the big archive in Smithsonian, they were in trouble, and Larry came to rescue, thus the storyline.

Well, like I said before, the movie was quite entertaining, and funny. However, I have to admit though sometimes the jokes just didn't work so well (perhaps, I am just too old for that). And, it has a moral behind the whole movie -- something to do with we need to do something we love in our life to stay happy. And for Larry, money is not happiness, so... he has done something very generous at the end of the movie and took back the humble job.
