Plots(1)
In the wake of the disastrous food storm at the end of the first movie, Flint Lockwood and friends are forced to leave their town of Swallow Falls. But when it is discovered that sentient food beasts have overrun the island, they are asked to return to save the world... again. (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)
Reviews (4)
The first installment didn't really grow on me, and the second one just continues what was happening without a great story, just the expected something. The biggest asset is the moment when the characters return to the island and encounter many interesting creatures there. The creators really succeeded with those creatures, and it's mostly thanks to them that the film isn't a complete waste of time.

Such a wonderfully imaginative world of an island inhabited by sentient food... And such a boring story. Too bad. The arrival and island exploration scenes are great, but the plot is so stupidly mediocre and the main villain so unbelievably annoying that it almost took away all the, ahem, flavour.

While the first film was dominated by an original idea with animated food, in the second one the creators let their imagination run wild and created an imaginative world ready to be eaten. But the clichéd story and predictable behaviour and character development undermine all this. In the last half hour, the film strongly evoked a more accessible version of Avatar with food replacing the inhabitants of Pandora. The creatures inhabiting Swallow Falls were good, and the award for the cutest character goes to the strawberry. All in all, a mediocre bite.

Some infantile crap that I literally suffered through. The authors didn't even come close to writing a good joke, and it’s considerably more embarrassing than cute. A flop not just in terms of box office sales.
