Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 Reviews

'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2' is a serviceable sequel that's not as tasty as its predecessor.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10

An Undercooked Concoction.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.0/4.0

A dazzling and delightful sequel every bit as charming as the original!

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4

The little guys [the filmmakers' target audience] are going to be thrilled with the adventure, the plethora of critters and their bright colors.

Full Review | Original Score: C+

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!

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10

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.
