Derek Adams
This is one of those rare occasions where the sequel is better than the original - but only by a whisker.
Michael Phillips
The sequel, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, is a better film, though -- less manic, more easygoing.
Ben Lyons
This is great. I loved it.
Ben Mankiewicz
This is a really funny movie.
David Germain
With so many characters to cram in and not much for many of them to do, Escape 2 Africa ends up a choppy, episodic affair.
Lou Lumenick
A by-the-numbers follow-up to the highly successful 2005 feature that was no great shakes to begin with.

Stephen Whitty
Whenever we move away from their scenes -- sharp and quickly edited -- the film slows a bit. Whenever we skip to one of the main characters learning yet another life lesson, the fun begins to fade.

But during his first semester at MU, Mike's plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, "Sulley" (John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer. The pair's out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University's elite Scare Program. With their dreams temporarily dashed, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right.

When BASA's no-nonsense chief Lena (Jessica Alba) informs the brothers of an SOS from a notoriously dangerous planet, Earth, Scorch rejects Gary's warnings and bounds off for yet another exciting mission. But when Scorch finds himself caught in a fiendish trap set by the evil Shanker (William Shatner) it's up to scrawny, risk-adverse Gary to do the real rescuing. As the interplanetary stakes rise to new heights, Gary is left to save his brother, his planet, his beloved wife Kira (Sarah Jessica Parker), and their adventure hungry son Kip. Also featuring the voices of Sofia Vergara, Ricky Gervais, and Craig Robinson.
