Storyline

At the Museum of Natural History, there's new exhibit being unveiled. Larry Daley who manages the night exhibit because the exhibits come to life because of the Tablet of Ahkmenrah, is in charge of the presentation. But when the exhibits go wild, Larry finds himself in trouble. He learns that the Tablet is corroding so he does some research and learns that Cecil, the former museum guard was at the site when the Tablet was discovered. He tells Larry that they were warned that if they remove it could mean the end. Larry realizes it means the end of magic. He talks to Ahkmenrah who says that he doesn't know anything. Only his father the Pharoah knows the Tablet's secrets. He learns that the Pharoah was sent to the London museum. So he convinces, Dr. McPhee the museum curator to help send him to London. He goes and takes Ahkmenrah with him but some of the others like Teddy Roosevelt, Attila, Octavius, and Jedediah come with him.

User Reviews

I really enjoyed this movie! I am an adult who normally does not "willingly" watch family movies. I went to the prescreening and I was pleasantly surprised! Ben Stiller was hilarious, as were Ricky Gervais and Rebel Wilson. The storyline was also good (which is hard to do with these types of movies). The same characters returned, along with some awesome additions. I also thought that the length of the movie was perfect. Sometimes, movies like that are very long for no reason. They did a good job with that piece. I strongly encourage families to go and see this movie during the Holidays. You will laugh out loud and also appreciate the message. This movie is also great for adults!
