Consensus: 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.

Pursuading the authorities that she has been successfully rehabilitated, De Vil is released from prison, seemingly transformed into a law-abiding animal lover, securely under the influence of Dr. Pavlov's psychotherapy. Under the watchful eye of her skeptical probation officer, Chloe Simon (Alice Evans), De Vil comes to the aid of a failing dog shelter run by Kevin Shepherd (Ioan Gruffudd). But when Shepherd is promptly arrested for the theft of dalmatians and Chloe loses her own dalmatian pups, including the spotless Oddball, De Vil comes under suspicion once again. Her new alliance with a French fashion designer, Jean Pierre Le Pelt (Gerard Depardieu), known for his unusual flare for animal fur, doesn't help her case. Set in Paris, 102 DALMATIANS is a lighthearted and humorous tale of animal rights and identity conflict that climaxes in a riotous frenzy of hilarious slapstick comedy and heartwarming fantasy.

Reviews for 102 Dalmatians
The whole movie is overbright, overloud, antic, telling us the characters and animals are endearing rather than allowing them to reveal themselves as such.
It's hard to imagine kids paying more than lukewarm attention to this drone of a movie.
This thing yips and whimpers like an indolent, egregiously cute Chihuahua.
Kevin Lima directs with as heavy a hand as Stephen Herek did the last time around -- and with a script even more contrived.
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.
How is it possible that actors as expert as Close and Depardieu can wind up together in a mostly brainless big-budget stinker?
It has everything -- cuddly animals, colorful outfits and sight gags.
This film is nothing but dessert. But what a fun and festive dessert it is.
