STRESS JUDO and "A Night At The Museum:Battle Of The Smithsonian"


This past summer, my family and I went to see "A Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian."  It was HILARIOUS!  Hank Azzaria created a really unique character.  Ben Stiller was his usual deadpan comedic self.  And who knew Amelia Earhart had the best legs in history??? 
The plot of the movie involves a magic tablet that makes the characters and exhibits in the museum come to life.   Ben Stiller has to keep the tablet away from an evil Egyptian pharaoh, so there's lots of chase scenes and hide-and-seek with the bad guys.  And a lot of Amelia Earhart (seriously.  Amy Adams makes flygirl adventurer look damn good).
So what does this have to do with STRESS JUDO?  Well, the movie desmonstrates several of the components of the system:
1. Creative problem solving.  This is usually the key to a good action-comedy like this.  The way the hero or heroine comes up with creative ways to get out of trouble.
2. Teamwork.  Ben Stiller gathers quite the team around him, and each person - and monkey - has a role to play in the eventual outcome.
3. Time Management and Goal Setting.  Hank Azzaria puts Ben Stiller in a situation where he has 1 hour to accomplish a task.  Now, while he is running all over the Smithsonian trying to solve this task, Amelia Earhart gets pretty frisky.  Ben stays focused on the task at hand. Which, when you see Amelia walk away from the camera, took a hell of a lot of discipline.
4. Self-examination.  At various points, each character engages in some self-examination that prepares them to better deal with the stress - even George Custer.
5. Cute monkeys.  OKay, this is not part of STRESS JUDO - strictly speaking.  But the monkeys really are cute.
 
I am willing to bet that the writers and producers of "ANight At The Museum" have never heard or read of STRESS JUDO. However, I am equally sure that, if you asked them how the character is intended to handle the stress situations he is placed in - they would respond with all 12 components of STRESS JUDO.
