Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2
Sequel to the 2009 animated chuckler featuring the voices of Anna Faris, Neil Patrick Harris, Andy Samberg and Bill Hader. After the disastrous food storm in that film, scientist Flint (Hader) and his friends are forced to leave their town of Swallow Falls...
He accepts the invitation from his idol Chester V (Will Forte) to join The Live Corp Company, which has been tasked to clean the island. But when he discovers his old machine still operates and now creates mutant food beasts like living pickles, hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees and apple pie-thons, Flint and his pals must return to save the world.

Reviews & comments
Flicks, Adam Fresco
flicksIt might lack the sizzle of the 2009 original and it might be burdened by lacklustre, predictable plotting, but where the first had balls of the meat variety, this sequel has Barry. For those not in the know, Barry’s a walking, talking strawberry with a lisp that kept kids and cynical old movie critic parents pleasantly entertained.
Cloudy in the clearly funny skies
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 Fantastic flick about the same level (or even lower) puns and oneliners than the first! It rocked! Lovely animated sequel which heavily relies upon the 'Jurassic Park' themes, smugges of 'Jobs' and with a hint of the 'Walle' at the end (you need to wait till the credits fully roll). Totally great family themes throughout...
Variety
pressIf nothing else, the pic's zany tone and manic pace are good for a quick-hit sugar high.
Total Film
pressWith no real plot to bind them, the pile-up of chaotic chases, repeat-on you leek puns and noisy dust-ups gradually kills the appetite.
Time Out
pressImagine a Jurassic Park constructed entirely out of whatever foodstuff best satisfies your appetite for a pun.
The New York Times
pressSometimes so strange, colorful and wildly cute that it may end up becoming a "Yellow Submarine" for a new generation.
Hollywood Reporter
pressWhile not as delightfully breezy as the original, an engaging voice cast and hordes of "Foodimals" still manage to serve up a tasty sequel.
Empire Magazine
pressLoveable - especially if you're as fond of a pun as we are - and extremely silly.
