Stuart Little 2: Critic Reviews

This is all the stuff that was so watchable the first time. Done over. But at least it's nonlethal entertainment.

The world of Stuart Little is a wonderful thing to snuggle into, as full of heart and pep and innocence as the title character himself.

When Stuart tells Margolo that her wing is as good as new, she demurs, then appears to allude to the relative merits of SL2 and its cloying predecessor: 'It's much, much better.'

It reminds us that Nathan Lane is the best show stealer in show business.

Significantly better than its 2002 children's-movie competition.

Like the hugely successful first film, the sequel provides pleasant, engaging if largely disposable entertainment for the general audience.

Has a lot more stupid action -- and a lot less heart -- than the character-driven original.

A simple, charming little movie that's fit for both kids and parents.

A sweet family movie with excellent voice talent.

...unusually enjoyable.

... a well-crafted, visually delightful family movie that successfully avoids most of the common family-movie mistakes.

I don't know what director Minkoff did differently this time around, but whatever it is, he's done it right.

The mouse, with the voice of Michael J. Fox, is still charming.

A small thing can have large significance: that's a nice theme for a children's film to have.

The wonderful combination of the sweetness and the extraordinary technical accomplishments of the first film are maintained, but its overall impact falls a little flat with a storyline that never quite delivers the original magic.

Accomplishes the difficult feat of successfully expounding on its predecessor without attempting to reinvent the series.

Pequena muestra del entretenimiento familiar que vale la pena disfrutar en medio de la magia que representa una sala de cine

Un tremendo gozo visual no solo para los ninos, sino tambien para los adultos y para todos aquellos que sepan o gusten del trabajo CGI.

Every bit as creepy as the original. But this time the creepiness of the mouse-adoption isn't even acknowledged.

An enjoyable film for the family, amusing and cute for both adults and kids.

...it has little to offer mature audiences other than director Rob Minkoff's pleasantly storybookish mise en scene ...

Stuart's got a new girl, a new plane, and some old friends this time around.

...a silly but amusing package of innocence, fantasy, adventure and color...

I still can't relate to Stuart: He's a mouse, for cryin' out loud, and all he does is milk it with despondent eyes and whine that nobody treats him human enough.
