A humorous yet unfocused romp, so unwilling to settle on a single theme that hyperactivity medication should be handed out with the 3-D glasses.
Top CriticThis scrumptious sequel follows the same recipe as the 2009 original.
Honestly, anyone who can pull off a running joke about leeks that does not make you gag, and is in fact a silly delight, deserves props.
There's not a surprise or moment of tension to be found here, but the film is all energy and color that makes the discomfort of 3-D glasses seem worth it.
It's another brightly rendered effort, but, as the title indicates, a lot of the real creativity seems to have been used up the first time around.
Sometimes so strange, colorful and wildly cute that it may end up becoming a "Yellow Submarine" for a new generation.
'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2' is a serviceable sequel that's not as tasty as its predecessor.
As a sequel, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2 doesn't fully stack up to the original, but it's impressive just how close it actually gets.
Like its predecessor, it's not a bad film by any means, but you can feel how hard the filmmakers are trying as they attempt to stretch out a simple story into a feature.
With more puns than any one movie should be allowed, this is a decent sequel that should appeal to the younger members of the family.
As these types of cautious cash-ins go, it's quite entertaining, while once again offering an eye-popping visual experience that supports the saggy screenwriting.
A fresh and charming delight.
Silly, imaginative and noisy - it's a tasty second helping that's filled with family-friendly fun.
An Undercooked Concoction.
A dazzling and delightful sequel every bit as charming as the original!
The little guys [the filmmakers' target audience] are going to be thrilled with the adventure, the plethora of critters and their bright colors.
I was pleasantly surprised. Where I expected a dullard of a sequel, this is a charming and fun film that kids can enjoy and adults will still chuckle about.
If you can't laugh at a screaming leek in a boat, you don't deserve to live!
The world of "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2" is a cleverly-conceived one, the design of the film is engaging on all levels, and the voice cast is great. It's the story that fails to engage beyond the glittering surface.
Not as fresh as the original but offers more than just re-heated leftovers - with an entertaining adventure that justifies a second helping of Flint Lockwood and friends.
The movie picks up where the last one left off, but the sequel bears little resemblance to 2009's "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs."
Kids should be entertained by the visuals, and adults can at least take solace in the fact that they're in a dark theater where no one can catch them snoozing. Just make sure you're not a snorer.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is all carbs with no protein to be found.
The movie works thanks to its brisk pace (it seems as if animated films these days are far better paced than their increasingly bloated, lumbering live-action counterparts), cheerful humor, and awesome visual ideas.
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 is full of cute food puns and enough on-screen action to keep kids amused. Whatever your age, it's really hard not to enjoy this film.
I ate this one up. Five writers and directors Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn, have produced one of the most clever, and funniest, animated sequels ever.
