I am not a fan of this movie. The characters are embarrassing heroes. They're too clumsy, vain and have extremely flawed personalities. They're just not likable. On this occasion the dark side creatures were far more endearing. And I could see things from their perspective.

Even when you get to the love is blind message it was hollow and meaningless. They bonded over hatred and negativity. The whole thing felt super forced as they tried too hard to prove love is blind.

Also what is with all the songs. Even musicals don't break out into song as much. There was barely any unique dialogue instead they stole their words from popular music. It was quite distracting and pretty lazy on their part.

The one thing I was impressed with was the detail that had gone into the animation. All the characters and scenes were marvelous excluding the fairies. They just looked like middle age women with bad haircuts.

I see where they were going with this but they lost me before it really began.

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2 is even more exciting than the first. The gangs all back together again and are up against a slew of mutant food creatures created by Flint's infamous food generating machine.

The movie picks up immediately after the first and as you can imagine Swallow Falls is no longer inhabitable due to all the leftovers. After leaving their home for a few months to take on new lives they return to what has become an overgrown food jungle. Expectedly adventure ensues.

The whole thing was filled with corny food jokes and wildly creative edible creatures. They really let their imaginations run wild when they thought this stuff up. I was so impressed with the final presentation and really thought it took the series to the next level. A really entertaining great movie.

It's such a fun and creative concept, who wouldn't want to see delicious food falling from the sky. Seems nice in theory but I'm sure it would be pretty sticky and smell quite bad.

Because it's so imaginative it makes up for the one-dimensional characters. They may not have a lot of personality but they certainly have a lot of heart. It's just one aspect but they don't make the movie for me.

It's the animation that makes it a memorable classic family film. It's beautifully colourful and has a nice amount of intricate details. They have really made the effort to create a wonderful world that enchants you.
