Yes, definitely a meltdown.

Rating: 1/10 (7 April 2006)

I approached this movie with a hint of optimism. It had been a while since I had seen the first one, and anything with Ray Romano couldn't be all that bad, could it? Well, about 3 minutes into the film I found myself gnawing on my left hand to take away the pain.
I was so hopeful, like a small child on Christmas morning, but instead of receiving a cool toy, I got malaria. Now, I realize that this was intended to be a kid's movie, but not even the kids in the theater laughed at most of it. They tried desperately to appeal to the adults in the crowd (the "wild ass" bit being the prime example in my mind) and it just didn't work. I remember chuckling very quietly once, and that was when all the little Sids bowed down and copycatted him. That was mildly amusing.
The worst part of the entire movie was the girl mammoth's whole "I'm a mammoth? What are you talking about?" thing. If my mind hadn't already gone into shut-down mode to protect myself from the inanity of it all, I would've started restricting airflow to my brain to make the pain stop.
One of the worst movies I've seen in a long time.
