Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 Reviews

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

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.

Full Review | Original Score: B-

A fresh and charming delight.

Full Review | Original Score: B+

Silly, imaginative and noisy - it's a tasty second helping that's filled with family-friendly fun.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10

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

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5

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

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 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.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5

This scrumptious sequel follows the same recipe as the 2009 original.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

It's all very cute and awesomely disgusting, like a 9-year-old stuffing his face full of food and then pressing his cheeks to make it all explode out. (Nine-year-olds still do that, right?)

Sequel gives new meaning to playing with your food.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

I think you and yours will find this movie very entertaining and worth the extra outlay of cash for theaters showing it in 3-D. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)

Like its predecessor, the sequel is paced like a triple Skittle-and-espresso cocktail.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

Its brilliant idea of foodimals and striking images will capture the audience's attention and keep them enthralled.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

It's cute. It's funny. Kids will want the toys in a major way. And yet it slightly unsettles me precisely because of how strange the message is by the end of the film.

Full Review | Original Score: B+

The film had the right idea with Barry the strawberry, who poops jelly when he's afraid. But "Cloudy 2" is relatively simple, too straightforward and forgets that kids are smart, too.
