The sequel to the hit children and family film Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is almost here with the premier date being this coming Friday September 27th 2013. The main question here is should you go watch it at the Theater for price of 14.50 for the standard non 3D version of the film or (8.50 with baruch student discounted AMC gold ticket). Judging from the trailers online at

This movie does look like a pretty solid choice for the family film this weekend. With many of the original cast reprising their role from the original first movie but, with the absence of Mr.T who will be replace by the Old Spice commercial sensation Terry Crews for the role of Officer Earl. This I will still consider a positive point for the movie since it has continuity for the original cast. which include Bill Hader as Flint Lockwood and Anna Faris as Sam Spark as the two main leads. And the role of the sidekick monkey Steve by recent Emmy Host Neil Patrick Harris and many more talents in the film where you can get a detail list of cast here: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/cloudy_with_a_chance_of_meatballs_2_2013/
With many positive comments from from the trailers and a 96% want to watch rate from rotten tomatoes of 33,000 user, this film so far is an excellent choice for those who want to see the next chapter of Flint Lockwood’s crazy adventure to save the world from the new threats his food making machines and set upon the world, the Food Beast.
Overall, I would have to say for now that this movie so far judging from the trailer and positive expectation i would have to say it is worth the 14.50 to the theatre to watch the movie if you want to watch a fun animation comedy. However, i would definitely not recommend the 3D version of this film at least not in New York even with the student discount tickets the 3D version i would still consider it a highway robbery. If your like me an adult but still in to children animation and plan to go watch it with some friends i would suggest a later night showing to avoids the loud children screaming in the theatre.
