Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2- Kids Movie Review

Flint Lockwood is back and still working on his unappreciated inventions. However things change when he invents his Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator. This was amazing, he could make food with just a little tap water and his machine. However things get complicated when his hometown gets buried under enormous ice cream-covered pancakes, gravy, hamburgers and mashed potatoes. Now Flint has to not only figure out how to clean up the mess, but face his girlfriend Sam, and the people of Swallow Falls. Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 is an entertaining film for kids of all ages.
