Loveable - especially if you're as fond of a pun as we are - and extremely silly. Read full review

Picks up where the first film left off, literally, and offers at least as many laughs (if not more for adults), retaining the goofy attitude. Cameron and Pearn throw a lot at the wall, just like their predecessors, and most of it sticks. Read full review

"Cloudy 2" is undeniably dense with ideas, images, and characters but slight on anything of thematic interest at all. Read full review

With a large supporting cast and rapid gag-rate, ingredients are generous. But with no real plot to bind them, the pile-up of chaotic chases, repeat-on you leek puns and noisy dust-ups gradually kills the appetite. Read full review

It aims to entertain, to offer a few tame chuckles for parents and children to enjoy in a purely Saturday-morning way. And it accomplishes that. Read full review

Whelk, I hope the makers of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs earned a nice celery, but I’m afraid they made a hash of things. A hash seasoned with oy sauce. Read full review

As good as the first movie. The characters are all back and just as funny. Apart from Mr T being replaced by Terry Crews this movie is Fantastic! I love it, my kids love it and so should you.

While not as intellegent as the previous movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is funnier with its food puns and more action-packed that channeled a Pixar movie.

I couldn't really think of a plot to add to the first movie and apparently neither could the writers. I absolutely loved the first movie so I was destined for disappointment.

I absolutely loved the first movie so I was destined for disappointment. All of the story lines had been resolved and the world was safe again from food. Little did we know that Jurassic Park had been resurrected. Actually one of the best scenes recreates the first time in that original movie that we see the reanimated dinosaurs. Only this time they are animated and made of food. What a total ripoff! That is another movie series that should never have gone on. Of course in Hollywood if something works, then you need to keep doing it until you get it wrong. Flints relationships with his not really girlfriend deteriorates to the point of co-worker and the father son turns more into man and his dog. There are some fabulous scenes and humor as well but not enough meat on the bone even for our seven year old. After 20 minutes the kids were bored and the adults just wished it wouldn't degrade into potty humor. It did and that was unfortunately the only real laughs the rest of the way. The morals and lessons weren't too bad except they were just rehashed from the first movie and rather than expanded more like contracted. The funny food animals and especially their combined names were a bright spot in an overwhelmingly dull afternoon. Please do not make a number 3. We all know what happens to leftovers the second reheating.… Expand

I don't really like to see the sequels before I saw the movie that gave rise to them, but this movie aired on television today and I decided to see it. To write this review I first had to read something about the first movie, which I haven't seen yet but will see. So I won't say if this movie fits in well with the movie that precedes it ... maybe later I have a clearer idea. I will look only at this movie.

The script is interesting: In the first movie, after an accident, a weird machine starts making live food to the point where the city needs to be evacuated. Its inventor, Flint Lockwood, eventually destroys the machine, saves the world, and is eventually called to work with Chester V, a world famous scientist he idolizes. In this movie, however, everyone finds that the island is still populated with animals made of food, the machine is still active and needs to be turned off. However, as Flint gets closer to his idol, he becomes detached from his friends and unknowingly enters a sinister and mysterious scheme set up by Chester V, which is not quite as innocent as it seems.

Okay ... I confess this movie sounds surrealistic. Animals made from food and live food is something we don't see every day and it sounds pretty childish and boring for adults. It was one of the reasons why the movie didn't catch my eye when it circulated in theaters. I think I made a mistake. The film is not childish, and has a lot of material that will please or at least entertain a more adult audience that accompanies children to the cinema. The plot involves some more adult themes, such as betrayal and falsehood, the importance of friendships and the role of parents in the lives of their children, even suggests a romance between the protagonist and his best friend. There is also an environmental message implicit in the film. The characters are interesting and appealing, the villain oscillates between the sinister and the hilarious ...

Technically, there is little to say. The work of the voice actors is impeccable, as expected, and the quality of the animation is superb, the state of the art today. Vivid, colorful, vibrant and imaginative, this film is a visual spectacle. Of course, there are strong appeals to sentimentality and the construction of animals has been designed for it. The soundtrack also sounds pretty good, with one or two songs that can be easily heard.

Far from perfect or remarkable, this is a good animated movie. Not being too childish, it has enough material to please children, adults and teenagers. I don't waste the time watching this movie, even though I've seen it a lot better.… Expand

The visuals were very creative, and stunning, but that is all the positive things I can say about this movie. I took my 9 year old twins with two of their friends, who seemed entertained, but nothing in the writing held my attention. Very weak story and the jokes meant for the adults were very bland. I fell asleep two times during this movie.… Expand
