Undescribable Perfection

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Blistering performances.

It was a good movie, and a massive improvement from the first one. I really liked this movie when I was a kid, and watched it several times. The film centres around "Chuckie" who happens to be one of my favourite characters of the Rugrats, so I'm not at all surprised why I enjoyed this movie so much. I like the setting of the film, and that too being set in Paris adds that bit of charm. The story was good. The villain was scary, and with Chuckie renowned for being scared and all...well...yeah... the movie flows well if you ask me. Despite the movie being a good one, the episodes that have followed the film have been a let-down or bad.

When Stu gets an invite to visit Euro-Reptarland, he decides to make it an extended family thing and takes all Tommy's friends and their families to Paris with him. While his peers just look forward to the holiday, Chuckie wishes to find a new mother. When the head of Reptarland learns that she will not be promoted any further, Coco LaBouche decides to use Chuckie's dad Chas as a way to quickly get a family and thus promote her career.Although it opens with a Godfather spoof, this second Rugrats is pretty much more of the same from the first film by not really having much for the adult audience to enjoy even though it is not dull or silly enough to bore them. Of course kids will enjoy the sense of adventure that the babies get into as well as (perhaps) the easy sentiment associated with the main plot thread surrounding Chuckie's desire to have a mother. There will be sufficient jokes and action to keep them amused throughout and adults will probably find the easy noise and action at least prevents them becoming annoyed by it.The voice cast deliver the characters in the same fashion as they do in the series, which will be a good thing for fans as it means the tone and atmosphere is the same. The guest cameos feature solid turns from Sarandon and Lithgow in prominent roles but mostly the rest add very little as I doubt many viewers will be able to identify all of Reynolds, Mako, Curry, Richardson, Castellanta and others as they buzz through. Overall then a professional and enjoyable film for child fans of the series which fills the running time well. However there isn't much for adults other than the promise that at least it won't grate the way some kids films do.

Rugrats in Paris: the Movie - Rugrats II (The Rugrats movie part Deux) I liked this movie as well as the first rugrats movie, the rugrats go to paris and they get lost, Chuckle's dad tries to find him a new mother, he meets a wrong kind of mom and then meets the right one, a French woman who has a French Daughter, Chuckles new sister is a French girl

Very good animated comedy. And true to the TV series, out of the mouths of babes comes potty talk and there is always the heavy helping of potty humor. The Pickle clan along with Chuckie Finster and his widowed father find themselves at a Japanese theme-park in Paris where the greedy proprietor Coco LaBouche(Susan Sarandon) tries to force Mr. Finster into marriage. Chuckie interrupts the wedding at the appropriate time by uttering his first word(understood by adults)...NO! But that doesn't mean romance is dead. All is well that ends well. The Rugrats' appeal seems to still be snowballing. This flick has what it takes to please everyone in between the younger diaper set to the older diaper set! Forget about your troubles for just a little while and find the humor in the messes these toddlers and crawlers get into.Christine Cavanaugh is the voice of Chuckie. Cheryl Chase gives voice to the group's brat Angelica. Sarandon is not exactly in her element with the French accent. Some other voices you may or may not recognize are that of: John Lithgow, Melanie Chartoff, Casey Kasem and Debbie Reynolds.
