Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (2013)
Country: US
Technical: col/2.35:1 95m
Director: Cody Cameron, Kris Pearn
Cast: Voicecast: Bill Hader, Anna Faris, James Caan, Will Forte
Synopsis:
The young inventor of the first movie is manipulated by the head of a massive food conglomerate into returning to the island that has become infested with food-inspired creatures, and recover the computer that is the source of the epidemic.
Review:
An unnecessary return visit to the universe of Flint Lockwood. It's not that the tousle-haired geek is in any way obnoxious, just that he repeatedly holds up the action in order to triple-underline the message about sticking with your friends. We've been here countless times before, and the cutesy burgers, pickles and strawberries elsewhere on the menu are scant compensation for a super-villain who is about as threatening as a character card from the Guess Who children's game. The Dad, voiced by James Caan, a square-chested no-neck with bushy eyebrows that perpetually conceal his eyes, like Manny the woolly mammoth from Ice Age, is one character we warm to, but all in all this is about as treacly as the swamp they wade through at one point in the tired Lost World narrative.
