Even more family-friendly than its immensely popular predecessor.

Pure situation comedy, and it's still fresh enough to provoke laughs.

It was a nice family comedy sequel. It had great cinematography, cast, music, fun characters, lots of laughs and a good storyline. In my opinion, I like this one better than the first one

Murphy's second outing as the M.D. who talks to the animals is surprisingly engaging.

There's barely a scene in this movie that taps his (Murphy) special brilliance.

A tired, cobbled-together concoction.

Too much plot and too much faith in special effects and adolescent humor doom this "Babe" wannabe.

It's a terrible picture: ugly and illogical and clumsily staged and peppered with crude, witless humor.

It’s Okay
While Eddie Murphy is once again great here, The sequel feels let’s say “Magicless” compared to it's predecessor, But it’s definitely not a bad movie in the slightest.

Not bad for Eddie Murphy, as the movie is weird and kooky in a fun way, and I found myself enjoying it, in a twisted, indirect way. The series may not be perfect, but it's a little bit funny, at best.
