Shawn Levy returns with "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian," which follows Ben Stiller as he embarks on a new mission at the Smithsonian. The cast also includes Owen Wilson, Amy Adams, Robin Williams, Bill Hader, and Ricky Gervais, and here is what the Web's critics have to say about the film:

• Ron Henriques at LatinoReview: "This sequel doesn't really feel like it has any real story, just a lame excuse to put Stiller back in the same situation again and having him run around a national institution like it was a toy store."

• CinemaBlend's Katey Rich: "So take your kids, enjoy the zooming action and the slightly nerdy reverence for the past, and try not to think about what this delightful concept might have been in the hands of a tighter, more aware director."

• Cinematical's Eric D. Snider: "You know how it goes: the plot is inane, but a lot of the dialogue makes you laugh."

• RopeOfSilicon's Brad Brevet: "The film has pretty colors, loud noises and a little monkey. I mean, what more could a kid want from a film?"

• Brian Orndorf at BrianOrndorf.com: "While only showing minimal overall improvement over the preceding museum adventure, 'Battle of the Smithsonian' at least finds a suitable resuscitation of the core concept.

If you're a fan of dog movies, don't miss David Frankel's "Marley & Me" in theaters this weekend. Based on the book by John Grogan, the film stars Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston as a couple raising the world's worst dog. The film is currently slashing its competition at the box office, but what are the Web's critics saying about it? Let's find out:

• CinemaBlend's Katey Rich: "Its small moments of insight don't make up for the overall lack of drama or narrative, but they will evoke all the proper emotions out of an audience with tissues at the ready."

• Brian Orndorf at Collider: "'Marley & Me' isn't so much an amiable motion picture as it is a series of manipulations kissed by Floridian sun and scored to a 45-year-old accountant's idea of a "wicked cool" mix CD."

• Kevin Carr at FilmSchoolRejects: "This is a damn manipulative movie. But it’s also a damn good movie, if you like that sort of thing."
