Editorial Reviews: Product Description MADAGASCAR-ESCAPE 2 AFRICA (BLU RAY) The sequel to the animated movie Madagascar gives more of everything audiences loved in the first movie: More of the penguins; more of Julian, king of the lemurs; more musical bits of classic rock; and many, many more lions, zebras, hippos, and giraffes. In the first film, a quartet of coddled zoo animals found themselves shipwrecked on the island of Madagascar in a misguided effort to return them to the wild. InMadagascar: Escape 2 Africa, a failed attempt to fly back to New York maroons Alex the lion (voiced by Ben Stiller), Marty the zebra (Chris Rock), Gloria the hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith), and Melman the giraffe (David Schwimmer) in an animal preserve on the African continent, accompanied by the four deranged penguins and the lunatic lemur king (deliriously voiced by Sacha Baron Cohen, Borat). By wild coincidence, this is where Alex was born--and where his father is still the alpha lion, and where his malevolent uncle seeks to take over (let's call this an homage to The Lion King). The other beasts have their own story arcs, but really it's all an excuse for daffy comic bits. Though the result is disposable, it's also entirely entertaining. The action sequences pop with dizzying spectacle; though some jokes are mainstream fodder, more often they're surprisingly quirky and engagingly oddball. This is the best kind of cotton candy filmmaking--it dissolves into nothing, but it's oh-so-sweet to the taste. --Bret Fetzer

Welch (DearbornHghts,Mi) This movie is soo funny.. it kept my kids as well as myself entertained through the entire movie.. a wonderful addition to family night fun. Who says a penguin can't fly? February 12, 2010 Jade Sable (Leesport, PA) The dreaded sequels. They can hit or miss. This one is a definite hit. Family movies that can keep my kids mesmerized are always worth 5 stars to me. I was a little disappointed with the new remixes of 'I like to move it, move it' But the rest of the songs are quite catchy. This DVD has been played so many times my 3 year old is beginning to memorize the songs. The voice talents of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Sacha Baron Cohen and the late great Bernie Mac make the humor in the movie delightful. And the hilarious Dad and son dance at the end is quite memorable. As always the penguins are cunning and cute, and my beloved lemurs are underrated. At least the monkeys got a few good spots in the limelight. But all in all this was an enjoyable movie but bittersweet being one of the last for Bernie Mac. Granddaughter "Approved" February 7, 2010 M. Grochowalski I purchased this for our granddaughter's DVD collection. She really enjoyed watching it the first time and enjoys it just as much each time she watches it. Hysterically Funny January 7, 2010 Joshua Querl (Clearwater, Fl) Maybe I'm childish, but I find this movie hysterically funny for both a child and adult. I put this movie in for a three year old toddler and found myself enjoying it more than he did. very happy with my purchase December 31, 2009 Nina Somers This is the first time that I have ever bought anything off of Amazon.com. I got the video and it was brand new. Would buy something again Showing reviews 1-5 of 100 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...20 Next »
