![]() The film is sweet and sentimental but also fast and full of action, and shrewdly realistic about sibling hostility. As strained and overloaded as it sounds, "Free Willy 2" is an even smarter and more endearing tale of family reconciliation than the original. Here Jesse learns that he has a half-brother, runs across Willy again and becomes a hero after an environmental disaster. ![]() "Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home," can't even be summarized in a pithy way. To call "Free Willy" the heartwarming story of a boy and his pet orca might be accurate, but it would miss the savviness and rousing spirit of the 1993 film, in which Jesse, an abandoned 12-year-old, helps Willy escape a sideshow and head back to his mother. ![]() But unhappy whale families have the makings of an orca-size hit, one that is far more engaging than any pithy plot summary suggests. ![]() Happy whale families might as well be all alike, at least in movies.
