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.

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.

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
