After a spot of therapy Cruella De Vil is released from prison a changed woman. Devoted to dogs and good causes, she is delighted that Chloe, her parole officer, has a dalmatian family and connections with a dog charity.

User Review

Cruella DeVil is at it again…

Rating:

I saw the original "101 Dalmatians" 3 times while en route from England
back
home to the USA and I loved it. So when I saw there was a new dalmatians
movie, "102 Dalmatians," I was elated and when I saw it, I was NOT
disappointed. In fact, I liked this version even better than the first.
Glenn Close's performance as "Ella" who has been imprisoned for 3 years
for
dognapping but who received behavioral modification but reverts to
"Cruella"
when Big Ben's chimes go off, is delightfully dastardly. And the
performance
by Gerard Depardieu as the loathsome LaPelt is extraordinary. But the
best
performances, the ones who "take the cake" are those by the Dalmatians,
real
or created, especially Oddball, the spotless dalmatian puppy who is
obsessed
with "S-P-O-T-S." The scene where she goes berserk when she sees a black
and
white sweater on a puppet in a Punch & Judy show is hilarious. There were
scenes in which it looked like the puppies were in real danger but the
magic
lies in the fact that, when you read the credits, you realize those
scenes
were created; no puppy was ever in danger. I recommend this movie highly
and
I should; I've seen it at least 7 times and I also have the video.
