Summary:
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 picks up where Sony Pictures Animation's hit comedy left off. Inventor Flint Lockwood's genius is finally being recognized as he's invited by his idol Chester V to join The Live Corp Company, where the best and brightest inventors in the world create technologies for the betterment of mankind. Chester's right-hand-gal - and one of his greatest inventions - is Barb (a highly evolved orangutan with a human brain, who is also devious, manipulative and likes to wear lipstick). It's always been Flint's dream to be recognized as a great inventor, but everything changes when he discovers that his most infamous machine (which turns water into food) is still operating and is now creating food-animal hybrids - "foodimals!" With the fate of humanity in his hands, Chester sends Flint and his friends on a dangerously delicious mission, battling hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees, apple pie-thons, double bacon cheespiders and other food creatures to save the world again!

Personal Ratings: 3.5
It was quite a nice movie. Unlike other cartoon shows were most of the time the 2nd season is usually not as nice compared to the first season. I find this one one par with it's first season. 
I really liked the unique ideas on the lab and the animals (making the food name rime with the animal name). It was really fun to see how they create the different type of animals with different kind of food. I also liked the side part about the dad. What I really liked most is probably the link throughout the movie. From the start to the end, everything that was said had a link to the main story line. 
Of course, because this is a cartoon, there were a lot of children and it was really quite noisy. But there were really quite a bit of catchy phrases that were remembered by the kids (one of them said it together with the character). I also liked some of the jokes (though half the time I'm pretty sure the kids didn't catch it).
