His work has spanned numerous genres, and his films as a director have grossed a collective $3.5 billion worldwide. Following early work as a television director, most notably for The Famous Jett Jackson, Levy gained recognition in the 2000s for directing comedy films such as Big Fat Liar (2002), Just Married (2003), Cheaper by the Dozen (2003), and The Pink Panther (2006). He then found further success as the director of the first three films in the Night at the Museum film franchise (2006–14). In the early 2010s, he directed films including Date Night (2010), Real Steel (2011), and The Internship (2013), developed several comedy television pilots, and executive produced the first five seasons of the ABC sitcom Last Man Standing.
