This sequel to the live-action 101 Dalmatians is simply more of the same. Critics say it also drags in parts, potentially boring children, and that it's too violent for a G-rated movie.

This is one of those rare occasions when a sequel is better than the movie that inspired it.

Close's combination of Norma Desmond and the Bride of Frankenstein will delight adults as much as the kids will be amused by the high jinks of the adorable puppies.

The whole movie is overbright, overloud, antic, telling us the characters and animals are endearing rather than allowing them to reveal themselves as such.

In a season like this, what's one dog more or less?

Lima ... hits all the obvious notes hard, and must be held to account for indulging so much hammy mugging from his cast.

Taking the dogs out of the central roles leaves you with seriously weird humans and not enough puppy love.

So-so non-cartoon sequel to a family favorite.

There is no reason for this sequel to the already-pointless 1996 live action remake of the classic Disney cartoon to exist, and the filmmakers fail to come up with any convincing pretense of justification.

The story of this film is a bit forced, trying to shoehorn the characters and plot into a similar theme.

We can only hope that no one at Disney can count to 103.

It's assembly-line art, colorful and professionally crafted... more imagination will probably go into the marketing of the movie than went into the making of it.

This wasn't nearly as good as 101 DALMATIANS. And did the first one even call for a sequel?

I was never a fan of the franchise, animated or otherwise, and I cannot really say I enjoy the movies even if they are not without merit. The puppies are cute, but I guess I more of a cat person.
