But as of right now, the early response certainly bodes well for the sequel.What follows are some of the excerpts from the critic reviews: "Like 'The Godfather' with more giant purple birds, this is a sequel that improves on the original," "Ticks plenty of lightweight fun boxes for its prime target audience of younger children, with just enough adult humor to keep parents from yawning too," and "Funnier than the first, this sequel benefits greatly from an infectious energy and writing which makes the most of the great cast. Great fun for the family."
