terrible... so disappointed.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I saw the trailer in 2002, but I didn't see the whole film until some time later. I saw the last third of it on 25th March 2007. Stuart Little 2 contributed to an adventurous evening. It follows on from the first film very nicely and the characters and animation are brilliant. Stuart is cute and Margalo is sweet.Throughout the film, I experienced that feeling of bonding with the characters and feeling like I was actually there with them. I was also interested to learn the meaning of "the silver lining". Falcon is a great villain and the sequence at the park is really fun to watch. Stuart fixes George's broken plane saves Margalo and flies through the park with Margalo at his side. Falcon gives chase but loses them while the Little family follow them in a taxi. Stuart using Mrs. Little's ring to reflect the sunlight at Falcon is a clever idea - as is using a handkerchief as a parachute! The kamikaze attack works and Falcon falls out of the sky and into a garbage can Monty is scavenging in.One scene I love is when Margalo and Stuart embrace each other. It's in the music video as well. That moment warms the love in my heart. Marcelo bids the Little family farewell and leaves with the other birds to migrate South. Stuart says "the silver lining" is that Margalo will be back in the Spring. The Sunset over New York is beautiful - as is the song "I'm Alive" by Celine Dion. No family should be without this adventurous adventure!

not profound different by first part, it has a special virtue - it is a film for kids. naive, not very complicated, nice and full of basic romanticism and heroism. so, for adult public it could be a disappointment. but to be the kind of movie for a specific viewer is the vocation of this type of films. to use the child sensitivity, to preserve the fairy tale's spirit, to explore the adventure rules, to be charming and sweet and colored. so, for its purpose, the second Stuart Little represents the best result. and that is the secret to see it. to ignore the first expectations. for enjoy. and for remind the genuine seduction of a small story.

Stuart Little 2 is one of those children's films that appeals to both the children and those who must pay the ticket price. I thought those kinds of films only existed with the name "Pixar" stamped on them or the occasional "Dreamworks." The film largely compiles odds and ends from the first film to try and lift the sequel off its feet but its sweet, good-natured charisma and kinetic warmth make the seventy-eight minute endeavor worth it.The "Little" family are still happy, vibrant, and warm in their quest to give their new mouse sibling, Stuart (voiced by Michael J. Fox) a home he can be proud of. Yet the mother (Geena Davis) still worries that Stuart's small stature gives him the unfair advantage in sports and life itself, while the father (Hugh Laurie) is more of an optimist and feels that if a Little applies himself, he can be quite the character.The main themes Stuart Little 2 tries to explore, however, are not about doing anything you want to do and proving that being small isn't a limitation but a welcomed challenge, like the first film, but more about siblings that drift away from each other. Stuart's older brother, George (Jonathan Lipnicki) is beginning to spend more time with his friends rather than Stuart, and while this is a natural part of life, it is nonetheless heartbreaking to the mouse himself, who begins to view himself as just a pest (no pun intended).Stuart begins to befriend a small yellow canary named Margalo (Melanie Griffith), who he rescued after seeing her being pursued by an ominous falcon in the sky. It turns out, Margalo is in cahoots with the falcon to steal valuables from homes all across New York City, but little Margalo keeps that secret away from Stuart when she discovers how kind and gentle he really is.Stuart Little 2 isn't particularly compelling or a very life-affirming film, but it's a genial, warm picture, with great computer effects, wonderful yet subtle themes on sibling relationships, and a plethora of jokes that kids and adults will find pleasing and joyful.Starring: Geena Davis, Hugh Laurie, and Jonathan Lipnicki. Voiced by: Michael J. Fox, Melanie Griffith, and Nathan Lane. Directed by: Rob Minkoff.

After the success of the original 1999 film the whole cast reunite for this sequel that may be a rare case of a film that betters the original.Again using the classic book by E.B White as source material this film manages to create story lines that is appealing to both adults and children and moves along at a nice pace.The human actors are all good in their roles with Hugh Laurie trying out the American accent that would prove useful in the TV series 'House' years later and the voice acting of Nathan Lane and Michael J Fox is great.Overall a welcome addition to the series and if your family enjoyed the first one they should certainly enjoy seeing what happened to the Little's next.
