Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

Rating: PG
Starring: Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith

The first Dreamworks installation left the zoo escapees on a fuel-less ship.

Still stranded on Madagascar, the penguins repair an old, broken down plane and the group attempts to fly off the island.

Plans and plane go awry as the motley crew of animals crash in Africa where they discover more of their species.

Prediction: I wouldn’t bet on this sequel living up to the original.

Role Models

Rating: R
Starring: Seann William Scott, Paul Rudd, Christopher Mintz-Plasse

After Danny and Wheeler get arrested, they are given a choice between jail time or 150 service hours in a mentorship program.

They choose to volunteer at Sturdy Wings, but after a few hours with the kids, they are wishing they had just gone to jail.

Prediction: With duo Rudd and Scott on screen, and David Wain (“Stella”) directing, this film is sure to be full of laughs.
