Weak!
"A family night at the movies," was how I pitched myself into seeing this sequel with the wife and kids. I had enjoyed the original largely because it was original and fun to watch with the young ones. I wondered what they could and would do to keep it fresh. The answer to my questions was "Not much."
If you decide to go be prepared to sit through the rehashing of many of the funnier bits from the original. While there are a couple of bright moments, Hank Azaria almost makes this worth seeing, overall it is a typical Hollywood sequel production aimed at capitalizing on its predecessors success.
Wait for the DVD, and by no means spend the extra dollars for the IMAX experience-it just makes it a bigger bad movie.
