As someone who has always enjoyed the first 'Stuart Little', I found the sequel to be just as charming. Like the original, this is another great family film that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and not just the young kids it's targeted at. The sequel does everything just as well, if not better than the first film.I'm surprised at how poorly 'Stuart Little 2' was received, not only with the ratings on IMDb, but it also didn't do well at the box-office. Considering the sequel has more adventure and in general more fun than the original, I don't see why so many people seemingly didn't like it. I always thought the 'Stuart Little' films were impossible not to like!

The family in this film is so charming and just adorable. E.B. White is a talented children's book author and this second film sticks to the feel of the first excellently.The far reaching love of this family is still the central theme with more brother issues thrown in and cool toys and gadgets to really engage young viewers.An absolutely sweet movie, like the first, with its sentimental moments, but with plenty of action also.A must see for young families, and I'm sure many not-so-young will love it, too. I did.

I seriously doubt that even children would relate to this. A mouse that is sent out to play football with a human schoolboy team has to be the stupidest plot imaginable! I must admit that animated cartoons where animals behave like humans aren't my idea of fun at the best of times but when real people are subjected to this sort of thing I really wonder where their mentality is! Having so said though, it is only fair to add that, when those animals are fantastic (as in Willow for example) thats a totally different matter (and, also in fairness, I DO note that this film is categorized as a fantasy). But when the animals are presented as though they were ordinary people, that has to be over the top in ridiculousness! I can only presume that there are people who enjoy this sort of rubbish but I sure ain't one of them!

I liked this better than the original, and that''s a high compliment because I thought highly of the original film: Stuart Little. As good as that was, I just thought this was even better.All the voice-overs are excellent with Nathan Lane having the best lines as "Snowball," the cat. He was simply hilarious, line after line.The film once again features great colors, a virtual rainbow of them, especially with some of the inventive rooms in the Little house. The parents, once again, are super nice. It's a treat to watch Geena Davis and Hugh Laurie play an old- fashioned "Leave It To Beaver"-type couple. The film has no objectionable material and leaves you with a nice feeling. There are animated films or animated/real life combinations like this, that advertise "family-friendly viewing" but don't really deliver, instead sneaking in sexual innuendos and the like.Not here. This one is pure, morals-wise, except for one scene near the end when the mom (Geena Davis) tells Stuart and their son she's still proud of them even though they just got caught in a big lie. (Inferring that the lie was okay since everything turned out okay.) Other than that, nothing but good messages were heard and seen all around and this is a funny movie, to boot. Highly recommended for the family, and that's no cliché.
