The review: I wanted to like this movie. My oldest loved the first "Cloudy" movie, and I concurred. It had a very unique plot, some funny characters, decent supporting characters, and although lacking a main protagonist, everything worked well. Things don't work too well here.'The film picks off immediately where the last one leaves off. After saving his home island, Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader) wants to start a lab with all of his friends but is quickly swayed by a childhood hero of his who is a scientist with some uterior motives. This character (not just the voice or the appearance, but whole "protagonist" idea seems way out of character for this movie, at least when compared to the first one. In this movie, instead of out of control food, the danger is apparently "foodamals" which are mutated pieces of food that are also living. This just never really clicks for me. About halfway through the "foodamals" do start to get a little amusing and the rest of the movie is "alright" but fails compared to the first one. The protagonist here seems so out of place and annoying, it was really difficult for me to get over.
