The sequel adds more insults and injuries that could traumatize little ones.

It's hard to imagine kids paying more than lukewarm attention to this drone of a movie.

Richard Gehr Village Voice (Top Critic)

Guess which filmmakers didn't have the smarts to license 'Who Let the Dogs Out'?

Bruce Westbrook Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)

As good as [Close] is, she's simply Cruella revisited.

Nancy Churnin Dallas Morning News (Top Critic)

This film is nothing but dessert. But what a fun and festive dessert it is.

Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

How is it possible that actors as expert as Close and Depardieu can wind up together in a mostly brainless big-budget stinker?

We're talking dog. Bad dog.

Peter Howell Toronto Star (Top Critic)

Moviegoers have a right to expect the sequel to be more than just a reheated serving of the same old kibble.

No comic bite -- and precious little bark.

Kevin Lima directs with as heavy a hand as Stephen Herek did the last time around -- and with a script even more contrived.

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.

...boasts few attributes designed to appeal to viewers over a certain age...

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

James Sanford Kalamazoo Gazette

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.

Es inexplicable el ver a dos buenos actores como Glenn Close y Gerard Depardieu haciendo el ridiculo en pantalla

The film is so bland and so limp, even with Disney's trademark cute animal tricks, it would take a 300-amp shock to get its heart beating.

Maybe there should be an American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Classic Movies.

Bob Strauss Los Angeles Daily News

The film's pacing is usually either poky or too frenetic, almost never at the right clip to make even kiddie slapstick success.

Given the level of violence (however cartoonish) ... I'd question the wisdom of the MPAA in granting the movie a 'G' rating.

As lightweight as they come, but it sure delivers what the core audience wants.

It's a good thing the dogs are as adorable as they are, because there's not much going on around them.

Jeff Vice Deseret News, Salt Lake City

Somehow manages to be even more bland and less funny than its predecessor.

Save Close and Depardieu, 102 Dalmatians is entirely lackadaisical Disney fare.

Seattle Times

The plot is dully formulaic, and the comeuppance of the villains is of the incessant, sadistic Home Alone variety.
