Film Review – Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2

2009’s “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” was a silly yet sincerely
awe-inspiring animated picture. Adapted from a popular children’s book,
the feature took its visual potential seriously, imagining a wild
adventure with hyper characters and an edible apocalypse, attempting to
charge up the audience with slapstick comedy while making filmgoers
practically lick the screen in a daze of food lust, watching a
lusciously detailed buffet-gone-mad from directors Phil Lord and Chris
Miller, who engineered a charming, pleasingly tilted disaster movie.
While it wasn’t exactly a story that lent itself to a franchise
exploration, “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2” is here. It’s not as
sweet and funny as the original effort, but as these types of cautious
cash-ins go, it’s quite entertaining, while once again offering an
eye-popping visual experience that supports the saggy screenwriting.
