disgusting, overrated, pointless

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2The movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 was a great movie in my opinion. I would rate this movie out of ten probably an eight out of ten only because of some slight drawbacks such as retelling who Flint Lockwood is, even when we already know who he is, but I guess it's only if you sen the movie. I like the fact how they retold the story of Flints turned to catastrophic invention and the damage it did on Swallow Falls. The story of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is that Flint Lockwoods childhood hero Chester V. Who offers to clean up the leftovers from swallow falls and relocates everyone the San Fran Jose California and offers Flint a Job at Live core. When Flint starts his new job he's so excited about becoming a true inventor and working full time with Chester V. but he realizes that he has to create something amazing and be chosen at the vesting ceremony. At the day of the vesting ceremony he is very confident that he will win but is let down and makes a fool out of himself when his party in a box goes off and covers many people. He finally is called in by Chester and is told that he needs flint to go to the island with him to assess the situation and destroy the invention he made, so the world will be safe. All in all I believe that this movie is worthy of its rating and is a perfect movie for ages 6 and up. It is also a great family movie to watch together. By Blake Biscotti

The first movie was funny, heartfelt, and original. This was, as I like to say, a tired shell of its popular counterpart. I say "tired" because the gags are LAZY. Throughout the movie, stupid jokes related to food are made. "Haha! I cut the cheese! Aren't I a great comedian suckers?"The plot was quite confusing, too: "so let me get this straight. Flint's food machine had malfunctioned to the point where it creates evil food that acts like animals, but now apparently the animals are friendly, and the annoying stereotypical evil scientist had made that a plan all along in order to create live food so that he could make it into health-food bars? Why did he make the food monsters, as apposed to regular food that he could use? I'm confused, and I'm sorry if I got anything wrong; I had tuned out a bit during this movie due to its lame jokes."

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.

Just a couple of hours ago, Flint saved the world! Sure, it was from one of his own inventions, but that's cheese under the bridge. Now, he's on top of the world! He's got plans with his friends to open a company! That's when his childhood idol comes into the picture and offers him a dream job as an inventor.The first movie isn't on Netflix. It's a shame, but not necessary. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is kind enough to give viewers a recap of what happened in the first movie. Not a bad idea, since there were four years between the first and second one. I wasn't necessarily in love with the first film, but I thought it was cute and the plot had some merit. There was a good message for kids in it about dreams and accepting people as they are. Good stuff, honestly. It was definitely weird, but not necessarily in a bad way.I much prefer the second one. The sneaky jokes geared just toward the adults were appreciated and made me believe that parents would likely be happy to watch Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 with their kids. At least the first twelve times. Then the DVD might well get lost or "accidentally" broken. I think that goes for most movies though.Like the first film, this one had a message for the kidlets. Any version of "don't judge a book by its cover" or "don't believe everything you hear" would aptly describe the main lesson, though there was the obvious push to trust one's friends. Personally, I liked the way they handled the former. It made me think of the plight of pit bulls, a cause that's very near and dear to my heart. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is a cute and funny movie that does its best to appeal to adults as well as kids. To me, it's the purest definition of "family film."
