Review
Stuart Little 2 is that rarest of movie breeds, a
sequel that surpasses its charming, popular predecessor to achieve
near-classic status. While Mr and Mrs Little (Hugh Laurie, Geena Davis)
are portrayed with good-natured, storybook purity, 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's reluctantly stealing from the Little's 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
marvellously 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.
