An absolute cinematic disaster.
Alex, Marty, and other zoo animals find a way to escape from Madagascar when the penguins reassemble a wrecked airplane. The precariously repaired craft stays airborne just long enough to make it to the African continent. There the New Yorkers encounter members of their own species for the first time. Africa proves to be a wild place, but Alex and company wonder if it is better than their Central Park home.

Cried during Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Mostly at the ticket price.

The science in Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

Unpopular opinion: Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is the most overrated film of the decade
Honestly, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Everyone praising the Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
