The last we heard of Cruella De Vil, she wanted to sew 101 Dalmatian puppies together to make a fur coat. This time she wants a hooded coat, so she needs 102. Muah ha ha ha.

Four years ago, it seemed like a novel idea to make a live action version of an animated classic. Now, it looks more like someone convinced Glenn Close to resurrect her Fatal Attraction (“I won’t be ignored!”) character—but for the kids! Hey, at least she’s still getting work. Gerard Depardieu costars as the ridiculous Monsieur Le Pelt. Depardieu very graciously upstages Miss Close to take home the most-humiliating-performance-by-a-respected-actor prize. God bless the French. Toy Story 2, it’s definitely not, but puppies are irresistibly cute, and the little kiddies (ages 4 to 8) will like this movie more than you will hate it.
