Ben Stiller Returns To The "Museum"

Comedic Actor Talks About The Craziness On The Set Of "Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian"

(CBS)  In 2006, Ben Stiller hit box office gold playing a security guard at the Museum of Natural History, who discovered that the exhibits come to life at night. Now he's back with a change of venue in "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian."

Stiller returns as the endearing Larry Daley, but he is no longer the lowly night security guard, but a successful inventor.

Daley left his post at the Museum of Natural History, but he reunites with his old nocturnal buddies - only this time he finds himself at the legendary Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C.

Stiller says he had so much fun making this movie.

"It was sort of crazy," he admitted. "First of all, to be able to work on all those sets and to work at the Smithsonian, with the rockets and the planes, and then the cast was just so, you know, it's just an amazing cast."

Stiller went on to talk about the craziness on set with funnymen, Ricky Gervais, Robin Williams and Owen Wilson, etc. as well as his leading lady, Amy Adams, who plays Amelia Earhart.

True, Stiller is no thespian, but how can you knock a guy who knows his limitations and goes out and still makes pretty decent films for the most part (although Zoolander was profoundly idiotic). I thought the first Night at the Museum was inoffensive fluff and good for a few laughs. Probably won't watch it again but I've seen FAR worse.

Stiller stinks.

What a perfect role for a non-acting actor. This guy's performances make watching grass grow exciting.
