35A film without mirth or magic.
-
75The floating, flailing, flying puppies in the inspired opening credits of 102 Dalmatians set the tone for an adorable sequel to the live-action version of the famously spotted cartoon.
-
75In every kids' picture, there are going to be sections that only kids will enjoy. Fortunately, 102 Dalmatians has enough for the adults, too.
-
63Doesn't really seem necessary.
-
63Though 102 Dalmatians digs up little new ground and muzzles its villain, it does have a fetching sense of functional fun now and then.
-
40Adults -- even the die-hard dog lovers -- will just have to resign themselves to being bored silly whenever the cartoonish Cruella is absent from the screen.
-
30Spotlessly dull.
-
50Harmless and thoroughly unmemorable: colorful, cute, fast paced, and about as involving as an amusement park ride.
-
50A pale reworking of its predecessor.
-
30May have had the unintended effect of obscuring the original it meant to honor.
-
20The whole movie is overbright, overloud, antic, telling us the characters and animals are endearing rather than allowing them to reveal themselves as such.
-
20The elaborate climax set in a Paris bakery is the least boring part of this trained-animal movie.
-
10An unnecessary remake.
-
10A sequel from hell.
-
10So dull and formulaic, it ought to be leashed and led directly to the doghouse.
-
75The kind of movie that is beyond criticism.
-
75It is Close's performance that gives the movie its oomph and will leave adults with smiles as wide as the kids'.
-
63The film, which is amiable, undemanding family holiday entertainment, is more a tribute to the astonishing skills of the dog trainers than anything else.
-
50It should come as no surprise that the dogs are as cute as caninely possible. But is it conceivable that, once you've seen 101 adorable dogs, 102 seems redundant?
-
38How is it possible that actors as expert as Close and Depardieu can wind up together in a mostly brainless big-budget stinker?
-
50Hollow, frequently boring picture.
-
This sequel adds more insults and injuries that could traumatize little ones. Most frightening of all, the ending leaves the door open for ''103 Dalmatians,'' which would certainly constitute Cruella and unusual punishment.
-
30You can't help but feel that Disney has delivered a turkey for Thanksgiving.
-
Cruella is once again bent on collecting enough puppy skins to fashion the frock of her dreams. And once again, yawn.
