1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Shawn Levy
Starring: Ben Stiller, Carla Gugino, Ricky Gervais, Mickey Rooney, Dick Van Dyke
Factual error: Dexter the capuchin is in the African mammal display. Capuchins come from South America.
Larry: This is so not worth $11.50 an hour.
Trivia: At the unemployment office, when Larry Daley (played by Ben Stiller) speaks to Debbie he says that he felt a connection with her when he first walked into her office and with a deadpan face she quips back that she did not. Debbie is played by Ben Stiller's real-life mom, actress and comedian, Anne Meara.

Answer: The tablet did not extend life (the guys grew old there, remember), but gave more energy to those affected. As for stealing it earlier, that would not have been possible as they would have been the prime suspects. The best way to do the crime was to pin the rap on somebody new, like Larry, after they had retired.
