Madagascar - Escape 2 Africa, a review by Rich

Madagascar - Escape 2 Africa



Your favorite castaways are back - still together and still lost! One of the top movies of the year, DreamWorks Animation's MADAGASCAR: ESCAPE 2 AFRICA is "even better than the first!" (Mark Hyman, Fox-TV). You'll laugh out loud as this outrageous comedy takes you on an African adventure like no other.

Below par and an inferior film to the original offering. Not saying it's not fun, for the right age they will love it I'm sure! Several belly laugh moments but the storyline lacks originality and is cliched. For this old viewer I got bored soon after the plane crash, and just hung on for the best parts of the film that involved.....
The penguins , who are by miles the funniest part of the film, just watching them for 90 minutes would be great, they rock!
Move over Dreamworks, Pixar still have the edge.

I got this one on a spur of the moment impulse buy... mainly got it because it was very cheap and the overview on the back cover sounded slightly interesting. I found it to be a fun movie... I have seen better romantic comedies... but feel this one is above average. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it. It is a cute story with a few funny moments.

"Due South" marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

Manhunt

Another really good episode. I liked the story and I especially liked the guest appearance of Leslie Nielson. He did a fine job. As Tom said... it is a more serious role for him... but yet he still maintains some of the wackiness that we all know and love him for.
