As someone in his mid-30s now, and with no kids, a movie like Descendants 2 isn’t exactly aimed at me, now if this were a sequel to the Alexander Payne drama that might be a different story…

PLOT SYNOPSIS
|
| The story deepens in the music-driven sequel as the teenage sons and daughters of Disney’s most infamous villains try to find their place in idyllic Auradon. When the pressure to be royally perfect becomes too much for Mal, she returns to her rotten roots on the Isle of the Lost where her archenemy Uma, the daughter of Ursula, has taken her spot as self-proclaimed queen of the run-down town. Uma, still resentful over not being selected by Ben to go to Auradon Prep with the other Villain Kids, stirs her pirate gang including Captain Hook’s son Harry and Gaston’s son Gil, to break the barrier between the Isle of the Lost and Auradon, and unleash all the villains imprisoned on the Isle, once and for all. |

|
| This made-for-TV film is shown with a 16×9 enhanced 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio as originally televised and has some bright colors throughout in keeping with the family-friendly material. The disc also has a standard Dolby Digital 5.1 track which is perfectly suitable showing off some modest depth with the music and a center channel providing clear dialogue. |
OVERALL – 2.5/5 |
| Overall, as someone in his mid-30s now, and with no kids, a movie like Descendants 2 isn’t exactly aimed at me, now if this were a sequel to the Alexander Payne drama that might be a different story. Such as it is, this is a harmless musical-comedy with tween pop music that doesn’t make one’s ear bleed, but is forgettable all the same. At least this DVD release does have a slick slip cover and some okay features. |
