Reviews

Bowling Green Daily News

Micheal Compton

The four leads are all very good in their respective roles, especially Stiller and Rock, but it is...

The sequel to the 2005 Madagascar is as spunky, witty and funny. However, what's a let-down perhap...

It looked remarkably cheap for 2008.

The script, by Tropic Thunder co-writer and Mike Judge collaborator Etan Cohen, is rather rote in...

Why bother spending the majority of the sequel's time on the main characters from the first film?...

Common Sense Says

Fun sequel has some romance, peril, adult humor.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this sequel to the popular animated movie Madagascar will likely please all ages. But there are some mild sexual allusions (Gloria the hippo flirts with a brawny male hippo who likes her figure and isn't shy about saying so) and cartoonish violence (sequences include a plane crash, a handbag-packing grandma, and hunters wielding guns). There's also come crude/potty humor to watch out for, and an upsetting scene early on in which a young Alex is separated from his father against his will.
