How can you go wrong with 100-plus spotted dogs?
The answer is simple you cannot.
Disney returns with another canine cinematic offering in 102 Dalmatians, the sequel to 1996’s 101 Dalmatians.
The movie, which stars Glenn Close as the evil Cruella De Vil, is a hoot a minute for anyone seeking a light-hearted comedy.
It’s got dogs, more dogs and when you think that’s it, there are even more dogs.
While this movie may seem like nothing more than a child’s movie, it is a movie for anyone with a soft spot for cute puppies or the heart of a child.
However, beyond the fun and fancy-free script is a movie chock full of effects and outstanding costuming. The hardest part I can only imagine is the work that must have been involved in training over one hundred dogs to run and do tricks on command.
While the storyline of the movie may seem slightly thin at first, it does well to stand up for an hour and a half-plus. By the end, it is impossible not to hope for the best for the kidnapped Dalmatians.
It’s got all the makings of a classic good vs. evil and the search for oneself; that is Oddball, who has no spots trying to find her true identity in a world of spotted dogs.
On the whole, the movie has it all action comedy and a little touch of romanticism, not to mention a parrot posing as a dog, all done with that Disney flare.
102 Dalmatians is one of those movies that you can’t help but enjoy. It’s all about that harmless fun that’ll make even the most casual of movie-goers crack a smile.
In the end, this movie will leave you seeing spots for days to come. It’s a great family flick or just a cute movie to see.
If you’re looking for a not-too-serious-one, 102 Dalmatians is the perfect film. Besides, it’ll bring out the kid in you.
Find a theatre near you and enjoy the spots.
