Summer Movies 2009: For You or for the Kids?

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
RELEASE DATE: May 22
IN A NUTSHELL: Ben Stiller returns in the wildly imaginative family series—my 9-year-old has screened the first one on DVD more than the movie’s editor! This time Stiller’s security guard turned business exec must rescue his figurines from exile in the Smithsonian’s vaults in Washington, DC.
FOR YOU: The endearingly cheery Amy Adams steps in as Amelia Earhart, offering a liberated character that moms can identify with.
FOR THEM: More magic mayhem with museum figures coming to life—and the return of mini mad men Steve Coogan and Owen Wilson. Who hasn’t wished for dull dioramas to become animated and tell their own livelier version of history’s mysteries?
