ROTTEN TOMATOES: Amy Adams Spending A Night at the Museum with Ben Stiller

Amy Adams Spending A Night at the Museum with Ben Stiller

The sequel America demanded is finally on its way.

by Jeff Giles | February 06, 2008

Critics have loved Amy Adams since her Junebug days, but now that she's charmed audiences on a larger scale with Enchanted, she's finding herself in demand for more high-profile projects.

Next on the list, according to Variety, is a role in Night at the Museum 2, the sequel to -- you guessed it -- 2006's Night at the Museum, the Ben Stiller comedy that went on to over $573 million in worldwide grosses.

We repeat: $573 million.

Anyway, yeah, 20th Century Fox is excited for the sequel's May start -- and who wouldn't be, with a synopsis like the one published by Variety?

Pic kicks off when the artifacts from the Museum of Natural History are boxed up and sent to the archives at the Smithsonian in Washington. Adams will play an undetermined historical figure who has a crush on security guard Larry (Stiller).

As with the first Museum, Shawn Levy will direct from a script by Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon -- with help from Scott Frank, who, according to Variety, wrote "the most recent draft."

Before making goo-goo eyes at Stiller, Adams will be seen in Sunshine Cleaning, which features no Dick Van Dyke or animated dinosaur skeletons, but earned positive reviews at Sundance anyway.

i thought the chic who played Sacajeweah...however you spell it...was hot in the first one. she reminded me of a tan Brittany Daniel. i liked the first one, i thought it was really cute so this better be decent. sometimes Stiller can get repetitive so hopefully its not an EXACT rehash of the first film...

haha i love the part "i repeat $573 million" lol.

The first one was ok but nothing special, only the monkey was funny. But with that gross not a suprise they are making a sequal.

I really don't think you need to read beyond the part where it says

'Adams will play an undetermined historical figure who has a crush on security guard Larry (Stiller)'

...in other words, my *favorite* way to make a movie- get commodities first and then worry about plot, details, story and purpose later. "Who needs to sweat the small stuff? We just bagged a hot property! How can we POSSIBLY miss?!

It's not that I don't understand why they do this, but it does make me want to punch something.

The first one was alright, I'm not really excited for another. I love Adams though, I wish she would do something else instead. But this is written by Frank, so it will probably be an improvement.

Amy Adams is wasting her time on this braindead sequel to a movie that wasted some creative potential.

I agree completely. It's an awful way to make a film. It smacks of formula-ism, mostly. It reminds me of that scene in Barton Fink: "He's a wrestler, naturally he'll have to get involved with a love interest... a dame or an orphan. What do you think Bart?"
