Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)
Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer
The DreamWorks crew remains strong with a $36.1M take and its third week near the top of the box office. This week's Bolt should provide some good competition for first dates and parents' dollars, so hold tight if you prefer leering at talking animals in an empty theater.

This movie has once again made me laugh my ass off! The characters are just so apt and never fail to make u laugh with the catchy lines in the script. Good storyline and worth a watch. Oh and the Penguins of Madagascar rock!

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is better-looking, funnier, and has a better story [than the original].full review
The roots are shallow, but the sequel is good-natured, high-spirited and perfectly enjoyable if you take it for what it is.full review
To be fair, the film is not horrible nor is it completely unwatchable. But it is mediocre.full review
Lessons about family loyalty, tolerance, ingenuity, and sacrifice add depth to the screenplay by Etan Cohen and directors Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath.full review
If you own a TV, you will have heard the best laughs excerpted in unrelenting commercials leading up to the movie's release.full review
A film whose blend of madcap exploits and generosity makes it both hilarious and endearing.full review
This mediocre sequel to the 2005 DreamWorks Animation hit doesn't offer much to engage minds that have moved beyond coloring books.full review
Though it doesn't add anything new to the genre, Madagascar 2 is amusing animated fare.full review
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa extends what Madagascar did best: fill up the screen with computer-generated visual novelty.full review
