2009’s “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” was a silly yet sincerely awe-inspiring animated picture. Adapted from a popular children’s book, the feature took its visual potential seriously, imagining a wild adventure with hyper characters and an edible apocalypse, attempting to charge up the audience with slapstick comedy while making filmgoers practically lick the screen in a daze of food lust, watching a lusciously detailed buffet-gone-mad from directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who engineered a charming, pleasingly tilted disaster movie. While it wasn’t exactly a story that lent itself to a franchise exploration, “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2” is here. It’s not as sweet and funny as the original effort, but as these types of cautious cash-ins go, it’s quite entertaining, while once again offering an eye-popping visual experience that supports the saggy screenwriting.
