Sonic the Hedgehog 2


Hey guys, how's it going? I'm doing alright. I'm just dealing with my allergies and they have not been nice to me. But other than that, I have been watching plenty of movies to keep myself preoccupied and so for Movie of the Night: Sonic the Hedgehog 2!


In this second installment of the Sonic series, Sonic the hedgehog (voiced by Ben Schwartz) is back at it with his mischievous ways. Only this time, he has a couple more friends to thank for his mess. It all starts with Tom (played by James Marsden) and his wife going to Hawaii and enjoying his wife's sister's wedding but it all goes downhill when the Dr. Robotnik (played by Jim Carrey) comes back with a powerful acquaintance, Knuckles (voiced by Idris Alba). When all of them get together, things get a little messy. 


I have never fully played the Sonic games so I had no idea what to expect in this movie. I knew Tales was going to be in it as well Knuckles, but I did not know what was going to happen between the three of them. I also was expecting Jim Carrey to steal the show again but his presence wasn't that dominating this time around. The comedy is pure gold though because of Sonic's silliness and the innocence of Knuckles not knowing Earth's terms. I was taken away when I learned Shemar Moore was in it since I did spend a summer watching Criminal Minds but other than that, the acting was a bit cheesy. The cheesiness was a little cringy but I'm not complaining too much about it. All in all, this movie is definitely something to watch on the big screens with the kids.

*Rated PG for action, violence, mild language, and rude humor

My Rating: B+
