The four zany zoo denizens in the original Madagascar prepare to head home to Manhattan in a rickety aircraft piloted by the ever-inventive penguin cadre. But when they crash-land in the African savannah, it's time for a crash course in survival. Now the four friends far from home must answer a question of the heart when Alex (Stiller) finds his long-lost parents (Mac and Shepherd), Marty (Rock) joins a herd of his wild brethren, Gloria (Smith) finds romance with a hippo Casanova (Will.I.am), who appreciates her curves, and Melman (Schwimmer) has one last chance at his truest desire. All in all, Escape 2 Africa is a zany adventure. (Gary Reber)
