How to Train Your Dragon 2: 2 Cute

I was super excited to see How to Train Your Dragon 2 because the first one was super adorable.  Well, the second one is super cute too.  How to Train Your Dragon 2 picks up five years later.  The dragons are companions to everyone in Berk, the Viking village high atop a mountain.  Hiccup, the chief's son, goes on a journey of self-discovery after his father tells him he's ready to become chief.  (SPOILER ALERT) Along the way, he finds his mother and tries to convince Drago, a dragon hunter, that dragons are friends and not to be feared.  When he fails, a dragon war begins.

How to Train Your Dragon 2 has an all-star (mostly B-list) cast.  Jay Baruchel reprises his roll as the voice of Hiccup, and so does Gerald Butler as Hiccup's father, Stoic, The Chief.  America Ferrera is Hiccup's fearless girlfriend, Astrid.  The twins are voiced by Kristen Wig and TJ Miller.  Jonah Hill, Craig Ferguson, Christopher Mintz, Cate Blanchett, and the sexy Djimon Hounsou round out the cast.

The kids were very quiet throughout the entire movie, even during the sad parts, and they cheered and clapped at the end.  So, I'd say the kids will be entertained, and there are enough adult jokes in the movie for you to get a chuckle.  Some of the bigger dragons may be a little scary to very little ones, but other than that I think everyone in the family will enjoy it.
