There is a reason Stuart Little 2 keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Stuart Little 2 land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Stuart, an adorable white mouse, still lives happily with his adoptive family, the Littles, on the east side of Manhattan's Central Park. More crazy mouse adventures are in store as Stuart, his human brother, George, and their mischievous cat, Snowbell, set out to rescue a friend. Michael J. Fox and Geena Davis lead a cast that never overplays a joke. It was released in 2002. What keeps Stuart Little 2 from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.
