Ben without Robin

What is really important when you do a sequel? Apart from the already established characters, it is absolutely necessary to introduce new faces, new people, who will have room to "evolve" (no pun intended). And Night 2 tries hard. But it is a bit of a shame, that in the process beloved characters suffer and don't the screen time they deserve to get in this one.

Cameos plus improvised dialogue included. One particular scene sticks out, also shown in the trailer, where Ben Stiller acts as if he would touch something in a museum, although that ain't allowed. The mentioned scene seems a bit too long, but serves the story in the end. It is a nice fun ride and a few bumps along the road are normal. The jokes work (most of the time) and some fun characters make great short appearances (bobble heads anyone?). And since the movie was somewhat successful, I'm sure there will be another sequel.
