Movie: Madagascar - Escape 2 Africa (PG, DVD Release Date: Feb 6, 2009)
Duration: 89 minutes
Rating: **1/2
Those of you thinking of purchasing this film for you children (or yourself) to enjoy let me offer some words of advice: rent it first. Featuring the voice talents of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, and Jada Pinkett Smith, this is a sequel to a movie about four animals who escape from Central Park Zoo and end up on the island of Madagascar. This story starts off with a scene reminiscent of The Lion King (one of the movie's better parts) explaining how Alex ended up at the zoo. We are then brought back to the present with the four trying to get back to Manhattan on a rebuilt airplane. They crash land in the heart of Africa and end up meeting Alex's father. The animation for this movie was very well done, but the jokes were lame and the plot was weak and not very well thought out, which is to be expected in a kids sequel movie unfortunately. To wrap it up I would advise all to rent the movie and see how you like it first because this may not be a movie you will want to watch over and over again like your kids are bound to make you do.
