The outcomes of all the mini-dramedies are too messy and equivocal to produce morals; that's just as it should be in a farce about confusion. Co-directors Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath are most intent on completing the circle of comedy.

This is a brighter, more engaging film than the original "Madagascar."

The roots are shallow, but the sequel is good-natured, high-spirited and perfectly enjoyable if you take it for what it is.

Let’s not lose sight of what's really been accomplished here. Alex and Marty – just like Batman and Robin, Fred and Barney, and Snagglepuss – are welcome additions to the gay animation pantheon.

I don't like Moto Moto. Every time he's on screen, I get this weird feeling that I don't wanna get from a movie called "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa." Maybe it was actually Gloria and I'm pinning the blame on this dweeb. Who knows. Anyway the movie was okay I guess.

evan though it gets more indebted with the characters and origins and the beginning is good,the rest of the movie (except the ending that was the only other good part) fell flat.Like a pancake.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is a limp relative to the original Madagascar. The jokes aren't as funny and the plot isn't as interesting. Not much to say beyond that. The penguins are still funny, though.
