Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is a sequel that I didn't expect and I enjoy more than the first film It's so painfully comical and it's full of puns. The villain is scientist version of Steve Jobs, the MC has a wholesome and strong support system, the story is straightforward but the journey is fun that I didn't care that it's so simple
Funnily enough, Steve Lockwood, the monkey lab partner, went through a character arc more than most characters written for so many popular series came out in recent years. He went from probably just a monkey to actually Steve Lockwood
The joke where Brent talked to Steve when they were en route to Live Corp and Earl gloomily asked him if it ever occurred to him that "maybe Steve Lockwood is just a monkey". Brent went "how could you say that, Earl?"
