Sadly Over-hyped

Please don't spend money on this.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

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 movie is funny and has incredible animation. That being said, the story is a bit weak and contradictory. Its not great, but its watchable.

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.

Minutes after the end of the first film the inventor Chester V, who is Flint's childhood hero and CEO of the Live Corporation, arrives on the island of Swallow Falls and announces that the population is being evacuated for the duration of the clean-up operation. He also offers Flint a job at Live. Flint doesn't realise that his food making machine survived and Chester's actions are just so he can get his hands on it. It turns out the machine isn't just making food it is now making living food and the people Chester sent to retrieve the machine have all met a sticky end. Chester comes up with a new plan; he tells Flint about the food creatures and says they are a threat to the mainland and asks Flint to return to Swallow Falls to find and deactivate the machine. He is meant to go alone but ends up going with all his friends. Once there they discover vast numbers of food creatures but his girlfriend Sam isn't sure they are as dangerous as Chester claimed.While I don't think this is quite as good as the original it is still a lot of fun and certainly very creative. The story is a little bit predictable; the fact that Chester has ulterior motives is made clear from the start so there is no real surprise when Flint and his friends discover the truth… of course I'm judging this as an adult viewer; knowing the truth might make it more enjoyable for younger viewers. The various food creatures are very imaginative and a lot of fun; they are also a bit frightening at times but never for long enough to be really scary. The story is fun and it was great to see the characters from the original film back in a new adventure. As well as a decent story there are quite a few laughs to be had along the way; one or two of the gags are a little bit crude but nothing too bad and these will probably not be spotted by younger viewers anyway. As before the animation looks great and the voice cast does a solid job. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to any fans of the first film or of modern animation in general.

P.S I you have not seen Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs 1, don't read this review. You have been warned.Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs 2. The sequel to the movie that is basically a rip off Jurassic Park II, and not decent one at that. Although I can give the movie credit, the acting was decent, the animation is good, and the screenplay is also decent, but my main complaint is the story. It was ripped straight out of Jurassic Park II. The comparisons are obvious, the story is similar, though altered slightly to fit the pervious film's canon. Although the cast has change a bit, Mr T. A.K.A Earl from the first movie has been replaced. That's really it.Now let's get to the plot, taking place right after the first movie takes place. The Island has been left in ruin after the first movie with food absolutely everywhere. The gang from the first are celebrating for beating the device(I'm not going even try to write it.) Until a new character, Chester V, A.K.A Will Forte, tells them he and his team is going to clean up all the food, while the main characters are relocated to San FranJose,(Funny Pun). We'll his crew, "Cleans up". Over all an okay movie, a not original plot, but those food/animal puns were kind of funny.
