Critics Consensus

While not as clever or inventive as its predecessor, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 compensates with enough dazzling visuals to keep younger viewers entertained.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

For anyone wishing to tickle the tummy-buns of a Double Bacon Cheespider, there's a menagerie of colourful mutants to distract your attention from the absence of anything more substantial.

Rated: 3/5

Irish Times

The original Cloudy didn't have the warmth of Despicable Me or the snark of Shrek. But it did have more humour than this new film.

London Evening Standard

This film runs on cute ... and the result is a trip that goes nowhere at all.

InSession Film

As an animated film, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 will bring lots of laughs for kids. They hardly wrote this with parents or adults in mind but it still works in many ways.

Rated: B

Scott Nye

Battleship Pretension

Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn (working from a script by John Francis Daley, Jonathan Goldstein, and Erica Rivinoja) have expanded on it nicely, crafting a film that feels like the natural successor to the original without simply rehashing its story.

A smart bonus sequel, but you are way smarter than it. The original book had a sequel, so Sony decided to give it a sequel too. At least one can find this predictable; Chester V was Flint Lockwood's idol with his Live Corporation & they would tell everything about him is malicious because of the phrase "Never Meet Your Heroes in Person" the fact that the word "Live" is "Evil" in reverse. But Chester V does make a great antagonist with a place for inventors bright ideas (especially light bulbs) & having a V shaped beard. Flint Lockwood is a bit smug when he is wanting to be the best in the competition of it all when he loses to an Australian Flint with his car running on cuteness. We did want Flint do win because he is the protagonist. I think Walter Beckett (Spies in Disguise) made better inventions than both Flints. Locking in all those food puns was working well, especially the Foodimals names: 🦩🥭, 🦐🐒, 🍉🐘 & Barry the 🍓. Then, these moments turn out to be irritating when the characters act all panicky like when "THERE'S A LEAK IN THE BOAT". It gets so fascinating to see what life/ecosystems appear on somewhere that has been abandoned. It also appears to be a take on the Jurassic Park tale, like Wallace & Gromit did a horror story tale (except light hearted) with the Curse of the Were Rabbit. I think I show more interest in Rio 2 than CWACOM 2, while you think opposite.

É parecido com seu antecessor, e mesmo sendo uma história mais fraca, compensa com visual colorido e reviravoltas, mas claramente o humor é muito mais genérico

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Unlike a lot of people, I thought this movie was good. However, it doesn't even come close to being at the same level as the original. If anything, it lives in it's shadow
