Did anybody notice they’ve got the National Treasure score playing when Larry’s wandering the museum to find the archives?😂😂 12:35

[@vinrock123]

If you haven’t seen Secret of The Tomb which is the third Night at the Museum movie you would love it because it takes place at the natural history museum in London

[@nrgmanifest]

Amelia is my fav❤❤❤

[@rileygarraway87]

To me these movies are just like toy story no rules 😅

[@rileygarraway87]

This was I believe around the time that Ben Stillers father Jared Stiller passed because of that I believe there was something going on with his acting

[@masonlynn5229]

the “do not cross this line” scene is one of the best comedy scenes ever

[@ConnieBoo20]

I literally started crying laughing when I remembered that scene like 3 weeks ago 😂

[@luigipowdemo6458]

I don't remember what I called these when I was younger. But I'm pretty sure it was "pointless conversations" or something like that.

[@Treysor101]

Funny fact: The scene where Robin Williams' head reads the tablet was nearly impossible for him to do without laughing. The bloopers are hilarious. 😂

[@nonsentz5765]

The Cherubs were the Jonas Brothers, as someone who was a kid during the promo of the film, that was LITERALLY the selling point, all you heard was “Omg the Jonas brothers are in night as the museum”😂😂😂

[@Thatnerdygal]

Same here!

[@taylor012able]

Same!!! Jonatic for life and this is what I came to say!!! Every time I hear Fly With Me I think of this movie and the Cherub’s.

[@collinschoenfelder677]

Yeah, when this movie came out, I was a huge fan of the Jonas Brothers

[@EchanteDante]

Never even knew that…so they didn’t do a good enough job announcing it.

[@taylor012able]

@@EchanteDante they did though, at the time the audience they were trying to reach, us the fans knew. It was everywhere. If you followed the band you even knew that they had a song written specifically for the movie Fly with me which played during the credits.

[@Erasureeraser]

Amy Adams is simply way too perfect to be Amelia Earhart in this movie to the point that I could've easily wanted an Amelia Earhart biopic movie starring her as Amelia, that could've been awesome

Having grown up going to the Smithsonian fairly regularly, this was wild to watch when I was younger. They even included my favorite museum, the Air & Space. Always loved learning there, and the fighter jet flight sims were so much fun.

[@gracecw]

growing up in Richmond and having almost every major field trip from elementary school to high school be to the national mall and various places around dc, I remember freaking out when I saw this movie and national treasure.

[@Erasureeraser]

I didn't realize that the guy who played Kakhmunrah was also Gargamel in the Smurfs movie. Like two characters having two different voices and dude pulled it off the best that he possibly could. Hank Azaria is amazing! 🙌

[@ariqsyafwan4987]

I first knew him from the '98 Godzilla movie, and it surprised me a bit when i found out he is also in The Smurf and then this movie

[@Culperrr]

14:58… The “National Treasure” theme! I don’t know if you guys have seen that movie yet, but the theme from that movie is played here because of the parallels of the story lines. Pretty cool easter egg.

[@collinschoenfelder677]

I never noticed that 🤯

[@RSK9903]

Oh that makes so much sense. Both movies were my childhood but sometimes they got conflated in my mind. It’s probably because they had the same musical themes in some parts.

[@balric1]

In the previous film it was explained that the Egyptians learned English by being at colleges. There is a clip online and on the DVD about different accents depending on the college his character was at. It's pretty funny.

The "do not touch it" scene is so insanely funny

[@dgirl786]

Ben Stiller and Hank Azaria worked together in 'Along Came Polly' (2004), too. And Owen Wilson had a recurring role in the 'Meet the Parents' franchise. 🧡

[@FEARTHEFUTURE]

Ben Stiller and Hank Azaria worked together on the movie Mystery Men where they were super heroes it had so many comedians in it

[@silkmoth7951]

If I don't mistake myself, it was originally planned for Kakhmunrah to reveal that he killed he's younger brother in an attempt to steal the throne, but the ideia was eventually discarded for being too dark or something like that

[@marquis911]

It was too dark for them, but not for literally every NatM fanfic writer I've come across.

[@melissaroszkowski8911]

My brother- in- law is one of the kids at the end of the movie, who get scared by the T-Rex. He was also an extra as a student in Doubt!

[@kblixt]

Ben Stiller and Shawn Levy haven't commented on why Larry Daley is often grumpy or unfazed by all the craziness around him, but it seems like a choice they made together tbh. Given Stiller's skill for character development and Levy's hands-on directing style, it’s likely they wanted to create a contrast between the wild stuff happening and Larry's "been there, done that" attitude.

[@ammivergaraolivo1328]

I like it, is a realistic grown up view of everything, he can't react as a kid or the movie would have been boring

[@mr.stuffdoer8483]

Yeah criticizing a comedy for having the “grumpy guy” is wild.

[@darkartexorcist]

I’ve always loved the fact that kakhmunrah isn’t a mummy but a wax statue instead

It’s funny that you kept calling the Jonas Brothers a different boy band each time they showed up hahaha

[@StardustandMadness]

I think this is close to being better than the first movie - it’s my fave of the three. Amy Adams is so good as Amelia Earhart - this movie (or rather her quote at the end) inspired me to take my own writing more seriously. And Hank Azaria also voiced The Thinker statue and President Lincoln - he’s so talented. I love him in America’s Sweethearts, a romantic comedy you guys should see.

[@ignatiusartistry]

It’s almost like Larry’s stressed because he’s trying to save his friends and has a deadline…

[@emilybennett6567]

My fave moment here was in the heart of the battle and Orville and Wilbur Wright were staring in wonder and nomming Astronaut Ice Cream.

John's "oh no" after Lincoln's quote completely sent me. Was thinking the same thing.

[@who.is.kalebomari]

I'm from DC, and yes the Smithsonian is a network of I believe 21 different museums, art galleries, and a Zoo. 17 of the museums and the National Zoo are located in DC. The most famous of the museums include the Air and Space museum (seen in this movie), The Museum of Natural History (the one with the big elephant at the entrance) , and the Museum of American History. The newest of the Smithsonian museums is the Museum of African American History, opened in 2016. And in 2020, two new museums were approved by Congress. The National Museum of the American Latino, and the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum. They haven't been built yet though.

[@soundgal_sine_qua_non]

Hank Azaria was an inspired casting choice as a comedic villain. I quote half his lines on the regular. Also, they did a whole BTS feature of the Jonas Brothers doing Cupid training 😂

[@thebulldogshowgaming]

I still got this on DVD 📀 all these movies have a special place in my heart my dad loved these films as well Rest in peace to him fun fact the cherub angels singing were voiced by the Jonas brothers

Hank Azaria is brilliant in everything he does.

[@ThemboCinema]

33:26 love that they got “Lovebug” in there 😂

[@TheSindustriesLtd]

i remember as a kid not liking this one nearly as much as the first. i didn't like how sidelined all the original characters were, and the heart just didn't seem to be there. but now though, i've come around to it. it's a really fun time, super creative. Hank Azaria, Bill Hader, and Amy Adams steal the show.

[@lifetheslowway]

23:53 “they appreciated that kind of man” actually no. This famous photo is actually documenting a non-consensual sexual assault. The soldier, Mendonsa, had been running around kissing and groping multiple women without their permission and the photographer followed him to try and get a great shot, instead of intervening. When he got to Greta Zimmern, the nurse in the photo, a hollocaust survivor, she was terrified. You can see she’s holding her dress down as he’d already made an attempt to go up it. But, it was not just him. Many soldiers saw these street celebrations as an opportunity to “take liberties” with all women. Women that were screaming that they were married or as young as 13. Women were smacked, groped, kissed and stripped “in service” of the nation. In the worst cases their husbands or brothers were beaten and at least 6 women were gang r*ped. There are many pictures of consensual happy kisses of couples on that day, but this photo is still celebrated and hung in most VA offices across the country. Sexual assault groups have been trying to ban the photo, but unsurprisingly the male-dominated VA has been fighting it stating “it was a different time” and it’s a joyous moment. 🤮 So, respectfully… no, it wasn’t. Women were terrified. And that woman definitely wasn’t enjoying herself.

[@nicolegross8749]

yes. Thanks for saying this. it always bothered me that the movie not only celebrated it but then made Stiller also kiss her and made her look like she was up for it. RIP Greta.

[@ladolceITA]

So before they choose Capone, Napoleon and Ivan, they spitballed a bunch of other villains, one was Richard the III, they had a running gag where'd he look at the camera and monologue, confusing everyone else in the scene. "I who was not worthy to rest in a woman's chambers." "Who? Who are you talking to?"

Earhardt uses great slang from her time.❤❤❤❤

[@robertbrookes2000]

This one is definitely my favourite in the trilogy (quadrilogy if you're including the animated 4th film). Its pacing is quick, since it's a sequel we already know the characters so the adventure can start a lot faster. And as you say, they take full advantage of the idea, the busts, the statues, paintings etc. Hank Azaria is a hilarious but occasionally threatening villain. And Amy Adams makes for an excellent companion, her goodbye scene is genuinely touching. (I love how there is this undercurrent theming of what being alive is to these not real museum displays) Oh yeah, the rules definitely don't make sense. It's hilarious how they try to make you think Jebediah could die, when Teddy was cut in half in 1. The next film is... alright. Has some solid parts, but also has some weirder moments. I'd say it's the weakest, but that's only because 1 & 2 are so good.

[@rosswelch3127]

I REMEMBER THE SELLING POINT OF THIS MOVIE WAS JONAS BROS IS IN NIGHT OF THE MUSEUM

[@kmcqueeney1]

I love that Clint Howard was doing the “Go, no go for launch” because he also played in Apollo 13. It’s a cool little Easter egg.😊

[@HannahLemp]

If you enjoyed Alain Chabat's performance (Napoleon), may I suggest Astérix & Obelix Mission Cleopatra or La Cité de la Peur (Fear City)... I don't know how well the comedy of these films translate into English, but these are two classics.

[@nikejoy12]

It's sad that Amy Adams' performance here as Amelia Earhart is closer in characterization to Lois Lane than anything the DCEU did with the character.
