102 Dalmatians
- Rating:
- Director: Kevin Lima.
- Starring: Glenn Close, Gerard Depardieu, Ioan Gruffudd.
- Details: US / 90 mins / (G).
Although she publicly repents her hound bashing ways after being released from prison, Cruella De Vil (Glen Close) decides to create the ultimate designer coat with the fur of those darned spotty doggies..
102 Dalmatians may pertain to be a sequel to 1996's 101 Dalmatians, but it's more of a remake-albeit one with significantly less charm. Lacking the sense of mischief that characterised its predecessor, the movie's attempts to compensate with Close's hammy portrayal should be offensive - even to the targeted demographic.
