This sequel ramps things up considerably and loses sight of what made the first edition so charming. It was always going to be silly and that’s not necessarily a deterrent to having fun. It just now feels bloated and trying too hard to be entertaining.

There are some amusing gags and enjoyable homages to classic films like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Raiders of the Lost Ark but it never comfortably finds its comic groove. The visuals have been elevated at the expense of character development.

Bigger is not always better and viewing Sonic The Hedgehog 2 makes you wish they had taken a less extreme approach. There is still a charming undercurrent beneath it all, it just gets buried under all the unnecessary bombast.

For parents, it’s a profanity free romp with a very clear representation of good and a very comic book view of evil. The big baddie, Dr. Ivo Robotnik is played by Jim Carrey with a performance as manic and over the top as his glory days of The Mask and Ace Ventura. His handlebar moustache alone is worthy of recognition.

As an evil mastermind with an affinity for machines and a disdain for humans, Robotnik has a never ending supply of clever gadgets and imaginative tech. He hams it up wth an absolute overabundance of energy, while the CGI hero of the day, Sonic, voiced by Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation and House Of Lies) has a hate free wise crack for every occasion.

It’s a low calorie feast of mindless entertainment but it does have some heart buried deep in its DNA. Good guy human Tom Wachowski (James Marsden) deserves some mention as his earnest character does have some screen value as the small town sherif. It feels like someone in the chain of command actually cared about the end product and it shows.
