“Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2” showers down success in theaters

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 showers down success in theaters

“Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2” should really be called “Cloudy with a Chance of Five Stars.” This movie has all the ingredients, laughs, action, and adventure, that make a recipe for a great movie.

The movie was funny, and I mean funny. The whole idea was hilarious. After the main character, Flint Lockwood’s machine is destroyed in the first movie, it falls into some sort of pond that turns it back on. This time, however, the food being produced is alive! With giant hamburgers trying to eat people and a taco monster wreaking havoc on the whole island, the movie was constantly entertaining.

Even at the four o’clock matinee, the movie theater was packed. People were scrambling to find seats in the huge theater to watch the hilarious and creative animated film. With ideas like, “Hippotatomus” and “Flamangos” this movie kept the whole audience laughing. I don’t think the family behind me stopped laughing the entire time.

Overall, this movie provided a good experience for all ages. The parents loved the good message that all creatures should be treated with care. Even the teenagers will get big laughs out of the creativity and many puns throughout the movie. And, of course, the younger kids will enjoy seeing their favorite foods come to life.

Will Dumke
Will Dumke, Staff Writer
To Will Dumke ’16, Inklings has not only brought him the opportunity to inform the school on the news, but it has let him jump in the back of a car and film screaming seniors as they drive from one end of town to the other. Raking in thousands of views last year, Dumke put together a short video that gave a glimpse of what the tradition of Motorcade was like on the inside. This video was by far Dumke’s favorite piece of his from last year and he aspires to keep working on his videography skills this upcoming year. But he’s not only in it for the multimedia aspect. Dumke likes being a part of journalism because it allows him to get information out to the public quickly. He loves to write both news and sports stories because he enjoys giving the “quick pop” of information that the readers are interested in. However, if you don’t find Dumke hunched over a computer writing a story or editing a video, he could easily be practicing the piano or skiing down the slopes of a challenging mountain. He is a member of both the Staples jazz band and the Staples ski team and loves being a part of both. Over the summers, he spends his time either helping little kids learn how to sail or hanging out with his friends. Going into his second year on the Inklings staff, Dumke hopes to work on his creative writing and put together a collection of pieces that he’s proud of.
