Review of 102 Dalmatians (2000) by Ranny L — 29 Oct 2012

If you love to watch adorable dogs, then 102 Dalmatians is great movie for you. The movie tells the story of an evil woman named Cruella de Vil, played by Glenn Close, who is recently released from jail. People believe that she has become nicer after her time in jail, but her parole officer, Chloe, played by Alice Evans, is suspicious of Cruella, and starts to investigate. She soon discovers that Cruellaâ(TM)s nice acts are actually just a cover up for her evil scheme to steal Dalmatian puppies to make her a perfect spotted coat! Will Chloe be able to stop Cruella from killing the Dalmatians? Find out for yourself!

I did not think this movie was as good as 101 Dalmatians because it was not very original and Cruellaâ(TM)s acting is a bit outrageous at times. However, I was very impressed at the Dalmatiansâ(TM) acting. Their facial expressions are adorable! The movie also builds some suspense and adds some humor, especially in Chloeâ(TM)s and the Dalmatiansâ(TM) final chase to stop Cruella.

I recommend this film to children ages five and up. Young kids may not understand the plot of the movie, but they can certainly still enjoy the chase to stop Cruella! Review by Gabriella Chu, age 14, KIDS FIRST! Film Critic.
