The sequel to the animated movie Madagascar gives more of everything audiences loved in the first movie: More of the penguins more of Julian, king of the lemurs more musical bits of classic rock and many, many more lions, zebras, hippos, and giraffes. In the first film, a quartet of coddled zoo animals found themselves shipwrecked on the island of Madagascar in a misguided effort to return them to the wild. InMadagascar: Escape 2 Africa, a failed attempt to fly back to New York maroons Alex the lion (voiced by Ben Stiller), Marty the zebra (Chris Rock), Gloria the hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith), and Melman the giraffe (David Schwimmer) in an animal preserve on the African continent, accompanied by the four deranged penguins and the lunatic lemur king (deliriously voiced by Sacha Baron Cohen, Borat). By wild coincidence, this is where Alex was born--and where his father is still the alpha lion, and where his malevolent uncle seeks to take over (lets call this an homage to The Lion King). The other beasts have their own story arcs, but really its all an excuse for daffy comic bits. Though the result is disposable, its also entirely entertaining. The action sequences pop with dizzying spectacle though some jokes are mainstream fodder, more often theyre surprisingly quirky and engagingly oddball. This is the best kind of cotton candy filmmaking--it dissolves into nothing, but its oh-so-sweet to the taste. --Bret Fetzer
