Another Small Adventure

Just as charming as the first film.

Usually sequels don't surpass their predecessors in terms of quality, but Stuart Little 2 is such a charming film, that it is hard not to like it. It is a little predictable at times, but that's my only real complaint of this movie. Stuart makes friends with Margalo, voiced with real innocence by Melanie Griffith, and it is this that makes the film so charming. Little does he know she is in league with a falcon, voiced with seedy villainy by James Woods, very like Hades in Hercules. Michael J.Fox still delights as the voice of Stuart, but it is Nathan Lane as Snowbell who has the best lines, they were that funny. Other funny lines were those such as "Flying in the House?" as the look on Hugh Laurie's face was priceless. The film is sprinkled with lovely messages, that never preaches and kids take to them like a pinch of salt. The script is more subdued than its predecessor but still delivers as effectively. The chase scenes are memorable and never slow the film down. All in all, an exceedingly charming sequel, with an 8/10. Bethany Cox.
