Review of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (2013) by Lex J — 16 Apr 2014
Good but naive hero is offered the opportunity to fulfill his childhood dream. Dream conflicts with hero's friends. Hero chooses his dream over friends. Dream turns out to be evil. Hero returns to his friends. Hero and friends fight evil.
It's a tired plot. Cloudy 1 has the benefit of Flint creating his own tragedy, and fixing it. Cloudy 2 has Flint, Sam, and the rest of the characters being absolutely good, and the corporation absolutely Evil. There's just no character development.
Is there any redemption in Cloudy 2? A little. The visuals are amazing. I loved the foodimals and the foodimal names. Apart from those, however, there is little for adults to enjoy in this movie. I'm a big fan of the first for its humor and Flint's love of science, but this movie disappoints in those aspects also.
