Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is a great movie with a well developed script and a top notch voice cast. As far as sequels go, it is a genuinely solid one that delivers on its potential and has fun with its new concept, rather than falling down a rabbit whole that most sequels do of trying to rehash everything that worked in the predecessor.
I will say that it does favour satisfying images and sequences over an actual plot on a bit too many occasions, it falls victim to forgetting the story it is trying to tell, instead it gets more invested in showcasing nice animation, which is cool but can get frustrating when we are longing for more story.
The cast is all around terrific, Bill Hader in particular is a delightful return, and the new comers are also fantastic, such as Terry Crews and Will Forte, the latter of which I really loved as the film's antagonist, he had a great animated villain voice that made him consistently enjoyable to watch.
A fun viewing. Nothing groundbreaking, but Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is a great sequel that is fun for the whole family.
Several years after the events of the first movie, the gang learn an island has become infected with mutated food.
