Moose Movie Minute - "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2"

It was my birthday and I did what I wanted too.  And what I wanted to do was see a movie with my family.  Now since my home has a 7 year old and a 3 year old, that movie needed to be carefully chosen, and the cost needed to be budgeted.  So it was decided to see "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2" at the dollar theater (Carriage Place in Dublin).  As a bonus we ended up seeing it in 3D.  Now I'm normally a supporter of the "3D=$3 more" concept, but in this case (at a discount theater) the increase cost was minimal and I think worth it.

As I've mentioned in posts before, if you don't like the original then a sequel is not going to be any better to you.  So this film being a sequel, if you liked the original Cloudy With Meatballs (shortened for reading ease), then I do recommend the 2nd.  Though not as surprising as it's predecessor, this movie was still a enjoyable romp through the food infested land of "Chew-And-Swallow".  Though not every original voice returns, the majority of the cast reprises their roles (Bill Hader, Anna Faris, James Caan, Andy Samberg, Benjamin Bratt and the always cool Neil Patrick Harris).  In this movie lovers opinion, when the original cast returns, sequels work so much better (all continuing series do).

I like this movie, my children liked this movie and I believe even my wife like this movie.  That's 4 votes for a recommended watch.  It's got comedy, excitements and some decent 3D effects.  It will definitely find it's way into my collection.

Have you seen this film, or the original?  What did you think?  Let me know in the comments below.
