Perhaps because it is nominally a children's movie, the filmmakers aren't concerned with subtle messaging and the plot of CWACOM2 is a brisk morality tale, told in the scurrying gait of a nun late for vespers. In the case of the former, there's a ten-minute recap up front, and in the latter, the only similarity between the book and the movie is titular. However, a foreknowledge of neither book nor film is a prerequisite for enjoying the sequel. It was, along with Esphyr Slobodkina's Caps For Saleand Karl Popper's The Poverty of Historicism, one of my favorite children's books. And that leaves about 200 seats that should have been filled with people, because the movie is great and if not great, greatish.ĭisclaimer: I didn't see the original film, though I've read and had read to me the original 1978 children's book by Judi Barrett, illustrated by her now ex-husband Ron Barrett. That's one more person than who showed up at the 10:15 screening. on a Tuesday night at the Magic Johnson Harlem 9? Just me. Who watches Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 at 9:15 p.m. Do you like food? Do you like movies? Do you like movies about food? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you might enjoy Eater at the Movies, a column by Joshua David Stein which examines eating and drinking on screen.
