Disappointment for a huge fan!

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This film greatly surprised me. I was expecting a middle of the road sequel, but what I got was a cute, funny, well written, and well animated film that made the first one great. Granted, there are a few minor flaws in this film, but those were no where near enough to change my opinion. This is truly one of those films that surprised me and, to be honest, is another great example of what Sony Animation Studios does best, and this, as well other good films by them just show that they are capable of making some good stuff. Hopefully, they learned their lesson with the god-awful joke of a film "The Emoji Movie". Anyways, the jokes in this film are mostly funny and carry the same humor from the first film. The story, while it is somewhat predictable, is well paced, well written, and flowed almost seamlessly from the first film. The animation in this film is done very well and looks very detailed and polished. Overall, I was very impressed with this film and I think it's a really good, if not perfect sequel to the first film. I recommend this film to anyone who is a fan of the first film and hasn't seen this yet, as it's surprisingly great. However, it is very recommended to watch the first film first, as this film takes place immediately after the first one ends.

Notice how many explication marks I used? There's a reason for that. It's because I love this movie. The main reason is because the food animals, or food-imals, are so freaking adorable that I can't even stand it and I definitely can't get over it. The strawberry. Oh my God, the strawberry. I want it. I want it to be real and be my best friend. And that is in no way sad, because if you had seen it, you would understand it and agree with me.In this episode, Flint starts working at The Live Corp Company, but they really just want him there, to find out where his food invention is. When he's sent on a mission to retrieve it, thinking they want it for another reason, he goes back to his hometown island. Live Corp makes Flint believe that they want to protect the mainland from being attacked by living food. They really want it to use it on their own food inventions, to make them taste better. We see adorable food- imals such as talking strawberries, flamangos, hippotatomuses, shrimpanzees, cheespiders, bananostrich's and watermelophants, just to name a few. I love them, I want them to be my best friends. They help make Flint and his friends realise that Live Corp is bad, and they find a way to save all the food-imals.Overall, I give this movie a 9 out of 10.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, answering all of those questions from the end of #1, is silly fun. Which is a good thing, seeing as how it's a cartoon aimed at little kids. And me, naturally. This was right up my alley.It's a simple story. That wonderful machine created by Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader) that bestowed food falling from the sky for the island town of Swallow Falls has been deactivated, thanks to a plethora of food and a desire for people not to be harmed by chunks of sustenance dropping on them. Now the island must be cleaned up, and the corporation Live Corp., run by Flint's idol Chester V (Will Forte) gets the contract. The town's citizens are relocated temporarily while Flint realizes his lifelong dream and becomes an employee at Live Corp. The problem? It seems that the food created by the machine has become...sentient. And it's fighting back! Flint and his friends - Sam Sparks (Anna Faris), cameraman Manny (Benjamin Bratt), policeman Earl (Terry Crews, stepping in for Mr. T), Chicken Brent (Andy Samberg), Steve the Monkey, and Flint's dad Tim (James Caan) - head back to the island. The mission: locate the machine and shut it down. But it seems that Chester and his orangutan assistant Barb (Kristen Schaal) have other plans, plans too devious to mention in detail here, lest your eyes be singed.Anyway, here's the cool thing. The sentient foodstuffs are basically tangible portmanteaus of food and animal, like the wild tacodile, the watermelephant, the pie-thon, the cheespider, and the bananostrich. Luckily, most of these creatures were benign to begin with. I mean, there aren't any lions or tigers or bears or scorpions. Now, setting aside the question of what these Foodimals would eat, since they themselves are made up of food, these are creative inventions. Almost makes you want to buy one or two as stuffed animals.Meanwhile, back at the boat, Tim bonds with sentient pickles over fishing. I swear, I am so glad this movie was rooted in reality. I mean, sure, pickles probably couldn't cast that well, but still - kudos are deserved here.This is about Flint's needing to choose between his idol and his friends and family, between doing what he knows will help his inventing career and what he knows is right. It's about being reminded about those closest to you, lest you disdain their influence. It's also about being able to change one's mind in light of new evidence, and it's about not killing anything that has eyes and/or talks. It's also about 95 minutes.Hader is terrific, as is the supporting cast, even when they're not given much to do but run and hide. Or cackle evilly. I was more impressed with the vocalizations of the Foodimals, such as Barry the strawberry or the pickles, voiced by codirector Cody Cameron. Kind of thought Frank Welker had stumbled on set.No meatballs, ironically enough.

I really really enjoyed the first "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" and was looking forward for a sequel. However, if there just isn't enough materials or creative ideas to make a sequel, it's better to not go through with it. This movie is riddled with lots and lots of puns and that is probably why this movie got green-lit in the first place. Because this movie all around had no creativity and everything just seemed forced. The movie is around an hour and 30 minutes but felt longer. With a story that just seemed so forced with little to no substance. Just the group going through a forest full of food that came alive. Now that I think about it, the plot doesn't make any sense either. I was just bored with this one and didn't get even close to the entertainment value I was looking forward for. I recommend people to just watch the first one and pass on this one.3.8/10
