Entertainment Weekly
Battle of the Smithsonian has plenty of life. But it's Adams who gives it zing.

Chicago Tribune
Nothing elegant about Adams here, but she's terrific -- a sparkling screen presence. Her Earhart hoists this big-budget sequel above the routine.

Village Voice
Though it's a little slow to start and some of the humor clunks, the film features a wholesome charm, some truly dazzling effects (the Lincoln Memorial alone is worth it), and enough mild, parent-nip in-jokes to keep all but the stone-hearted happy.

Empire
It’s funnier this time, but still veers noticeably from kid-friendly slapstick to adult-friendly banter.

Some of that frenetic running around has been replaced by inspired effects sequences and amusing riffs by the talented cast, especially new arrivals Hank Azaria and Amy Adams.
