Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2

The good: BARRY THE STRAWBERRY IS MY LIL GUY!! Deserves his own movie that one ~ he's the BESTEST! The film itself is sumptuously colorful and teaches the value of true friendship and honor. The not so good: There's a term us vegans use to describe those who can't see the wood for the trees: Cognitive dissonance. Flint and his pals realize that the foodimals are sentient beings who feel love, fear, pain, joy, and they mean to save them. Yet Mr Lockwood goes fishing - which is, let's be honest, the murder of innocent, sentient beings. "Meat" is actually the flesh of dead animals. A cheeseburger is the ground up remains of a cow who was repeatedly raped, had her babies taken away and milk stolen by the dairy industry: someONE's dead body and the congealed, pus/feces/blood filled breast milk of another species. It's a movie that perpetuates this blindness and ignorance that it's ok to eat animals and their secretions despite animal agriculture being a HOLOCAUST and the most ecologically destructive industry on our only habitable planet. So there's a lot of irresponsible hypocrisy here. I've never read the books and I missed the first movie so don't know how it compares to either. I still have some fond regard for this flick and hope that humanity and the film industry evolve, sooner rather than later because honestly folks, we are all running out of time...

I hadn't even seen the first film when I watched this at the pics (you don't really need to either as they do a little recap). Granted some of the jokes were a bit cringy but was overall a fab family film

Great for all ages! Is funny, sad and full of action, though, if you want to watch it for free ( you must have internet ) you should get movietube 4.1 from Google play. Of is better when you buy this film because you can watch it offline.
