102 Dalmatians (2000)

Bearing only a tenuous connection to the original, "102 Dalmatians" is a cynical attempt to make money. Like many sequels, it's just a caricature. Glenn Close still puts on a neat performance as Cruella DeVil, making her like Meryl Streep's character in "The Devil Wears Prada", but that's it. Probably the most ridiculous scene is when Disney gives itself a plug: the dogs watch "Lady and the Tramp". The cast members who didn't return were lucky to have not returned. Completely bland.As for work since then, Kevin Lima directed "Enchanted" (starring Amy Adams as a princess sent to New York).

this film is completely underrated! it's so much fun and should be thought of as completely light-hearted, the acting from the main dog owners; Chloe and Kevin, were good for the role they were given, this film is perfect for dog lovers! each one of the Dalmatian puppies were as cute as the next, also which i was pleasantly surprised about was the unique plot compared to the first, i felt the first was just trying to be a solid copy of the animated classic, and flopped dramatically. but this one has so much more charm and charisma than the first film and is completely underrated for the type of film it is trying to be, whether you like these types of films or not, take it or leave it. but believe me, you're missing out.

I was involved in this production in 2000, i always remember we were on location in the city under this old station , may have been Mile End , it rained for about two weeks non stop and i alway remember the water coming through the cracks of the station , the scene was the Catwalk , I remember that in between scenes everyone was looking for a warm corner to stay warm , Glenn close was very friendly with all the members around , i got talking to her for about 5-10 mins and she was the most friendliest ,nicest person you can talk to , she is up there as one the the best in dealing with the conditions and people around 10/10 for that ...

Cruella has been in jail and in her time there a doctor has worked with her and made her change and become a brand new person. She now loves puppies and hates fur and comes out a brand new woman. She tires her best but for stupid reason, which never gets explained in the movie, the ticking of Big Ben (the London tower clock) she goes mad and goes back to her evil self. After she had gotten out of jail, and before she turned back to her old self, she helped organize a puppy "safe house". After she goes back she once again wants more dalmatians and although different in action, same in story as far as her getting them stolen and all attempts are captured in goofy glory as we see a less funny version of part one over again.Production was bad in this one, definitely a lower budget, and no where near the time and effort and talent devoted into this one. The music was bad, the acting was bad (for the most part) and its just a waste of time. Sequels often suck, so its not that big of a deal, you should know what you are getting.Glenn Close did a great job again, but her character was written badly here, so her acting couldn't save it. Most of the acting was mediocre at best. Ben Crompton did a good job as Ewan and thats about the only person that stood out. Eric idle as the voice of that stupid bird was annoying too.This movie is something you might shut your "youngins" up with for an hour and a half but it's a truly inferior film to its predecessor. Was hard for me to set through. 2 out of 10 stars.
