Imagine a Jurassic Park constructed entirely out of whatever foodstuff best satisfies your appetite for a pun.

Catherine Bray, Time Out

The animation is inventive and elastic, the dialogue zippy and shamelessly punny, and the tone lighthearted and fun, even if on a whole it's not quite a full meal.

Keith Staskiewicz, Entertainment Weekly

Suspend your ideas about what is logical or truly real and just have a nice 90-minute escape into the brightly colorful world directors Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn and their team have created here.

Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun-Times

Even with new cooks in the kitchen, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 is a completely delicious dish, as it adds a handful of great new ingredients to a familiar recipe.

Todd Gilchrist, TheWrap
Rotten

A humorous yet unfocused romp, so unwilling to settle on a single theme that hyperactivity medication should be handed out with the 3-D glasses.

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
