Stuart Little 2 is that rarest of movie breeds, a sequel that surpasses its charming, popular predecessor to achieve near-classic status. Mr. & Mrs. Little (Hugh Laurie, Geena Davis) are portrayed with good-natured, storybook purity, and the rest of the movie follows suit, beginning when their lonely mouse "son" Stuart (perfectly voiced by Michael J. Fox) befriends an orphaned canary (Melanie Griffith), who is reluctantly stealing from the Littles for the villainous Falcon (James Woods). The con game turns into a search-and-rescue thriller, with family cat Snowbell (Nathan Lane) quipping like a borscht-belt comedian, but the real fun of Stuart Little 2 comes from Bruce Joel Rubin's hilarious, marvelously inventive screenplay and returning director Rob Minkoff's visually dazzling combination of live action and lavish computer animation. Matching the Babe movies as a wondrous marvel of family entertainment, Stuart Little 2 is an all-ages romp that's smart, sweet, and completely irresistible. --Jeff Shannon
Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Stuart is cute Comment: A very nice follow up to the origional. I would definitely recommend this to both the young and old in your household. This movie stars many great actors (both in person and voiced) including Michael J. Fox, Geena Davis, Hugh Laurie, Melanie Griffith, James Woods and Brad Garrett. Customer Rating: Summary: As good or better... Comment: Than the first Stuart film.
There's more cgi in this one (with the added animated characters) but they kept the same cast from the first one. Our daughter enjoys both the Stuart movies. Customer Rating: Summary: One of my favorite movies Comment: I LIKE THE MOVIE STUART LITTLE 2 BECAUSE IT HAS A HAPPY ENDING.
IT IS FUNNY AND I LIKE THE TALKING ANIMALS. THE SCENE WHERE THE BIRD DROPS STUART IS A LITTLE SCARY. Customer Rating: Summary: A Truly Nice Film Comment: I liked this better than the original, and that''s a high compliment because I thought highly of the original film: Stuart Little. As good as that was, I just thought this was even better.
All the voice-overs are excellent with Nathan Lane having the best lines as "Snowball," the cat. He was simply hilarious, line after line. The film once again features great colors, a virtual rainbow of them, especially with some of the inventive rooms in the Little house. The parents, once again, are super nice. It's a treat to watch Geena Davis and Hugh Laurie play an old- fashioned "Leave It To Beaver"-type couple. The film has no objectionable material and leaves you with a nice feeling. There are animated films or animated/real life combinations like this, that advertise "family-friendly viewing" but don't really deliver, instead sneaking in sexual innuendos and the like. Not here. This one is pure, morals-wise, except for one scene near the end when the mom (Geena Davis) tells Stuart and their son she's still proud of them even though they just got caught in a big lie. (Inferring that the lie was okay since everything turned out okay.) Other than that, nothing but good messages were heard and seen all around and this is a funny movie, to boot.
Highly recommended for the family, and that's no clich?.
Customer Rating: Summary: A delightful film for all ages! Comment: This movie is adorable and everyone in my family enjoyed watching it, young and old. The Little family are a wonderful bunch of people. You can't help but wish that real life were like at the Little's house, and that you were the lucky orphan plucked up and adopted by these charming people. The mom is loving, the dad adoring, the brother is just too cute, and even the cat is a character you can't help but love. Sure it's make believe, but what a wonderful place to enjoy a fantasy of a Little Mouse names Stuart and his fantastic adventures.
