Owen Wilson reprises his miniature character as cowboy Jedediah in the fun-filled family movie “Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian.”
The movie is the sequel to the massively popular 2006 hit, “Night at the Museum” wherein Ben Stiller played a security guard at New York’s Natural History Museum who discovered that the museum comes to life at the end of the day. In “Night at the Museum 2,” Larry Daley (Stiller) is no longer in uniform, he is now a successful entrepreneur but still misses the thrill of his former job. A distress call from his miniature pal Jedediah (Owen Wilson) takes him right back to the museum world and back into uniform.
