Larry and Emelia Earlheart land in a pack of troubles.

2009 20th Century Fox

Ben Stiller reprises his role as the former night guard Larry Daley at New York City’s Museum of Natural History.

Best parts of the silly movie involve Amy Adams as a sparkly Amelia Earhart and some imaginative sequences in which works of art come to life: in the famous photo of a sailor kissing a woman in Times Square to celebrate V-J Day our hero find himself amidst the crowd, and even kissing the woman.
