9 Movie Animals Who Outperformed Their Human Masters

3. Crystal in Night at the Museum and The Hangover Part II

Crystal the capuchin monkey, besides being obscenely rich, has been typecast as an "evil monkey." She played such a role in both Night at the Museum films, as well as The Hangover Part II. In the former, she's a constant nuisance to Ben Stiller, while in the latter, she's a drug dealer. Crystal is far and away the best thing about both films, with most of the best parts of Hangover II belonging to her (a monkey motioning for a cigarette is never not funny). She's certainly more sympathetic than any of the main characters in the movie. You might also recognize Crystal as Annie's Boobs from Community, or as a murderous helper monkey from one of the best episodes of Malcolm in the Middle. Hey, maybe she's earned that ridiculous salary.
