Movie Reviews: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2
For a film contrived principally for the kiddies, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is surprisingly receiving some mighty enthusiastic reviews from ordinarily jaded adult movie critics, although the review by Miriam Bale in the New York Times will likely raise a few eyebrows.
"There are moments of visual humor that are so inventive they feel like a glimpse of a cartoon masterpiece Jerry Lewis might have made."
Betsy Sharkey's in the Los Angeles Times says:
"The inventive design of the many creatures feels so fresh. The detail is so rich, and so dense, that you wish some of the frames would freeze so you had more time for savoring."
Dave McGinn in the Toronto Globe & Mail concludes:
"The movie is packed with silly puns and visual inventiveness that will tickle tykes."
Jordan Hoffman in the New York Daily News savored the entire film:
"This is unquestionably 2013's best animated movie so far."
