Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 MN screenings feedback thread. NOW CLOSED

195 replies

AnnMumsnet · 11/10/2013 12:01

This thread is for the Mumsnetters who attended one of the exclusive MN screenings of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 in London or Manchester with their DCs on Sunday 13th October. We hope you all had a great time and enjoyed the film!

"Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 picks up where Sony Pictures Animation’s mouth-watering comedy left off. Inventor Flint Lockwood thought he saved the world when he destroyed his most infamous invention - a machine that turned water into food causing cheeseburger rain and spaghetti tornadoes. But Flint soon learns that his invention survived and is now creating food-animals – "foodimals!" Flint and his friends embark on a dangerously delicious mission to battle hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees, hippotatomuses, cheespiders and other foodimals to save the world – again!"

To find out more about the film (at cinemas from October 25 with previews 18, 19 & 20th) and watch the trailer, visit the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 pages on Mumsnet

Below are a few questions for you to answer but please do add any other comments you may have.

We'd also love it if you could upload some pictures of your day to this thread.

  • Please give a brief, one sentence review of the film


  • Out of 5, how many stars would you give the film? How many would your DC give it? (5 is highest and 1 is lowest)


  • What was your/your DC's favourite part of the film? Who is their favourite character and why?


  • What did your DCs love best about the day?


  • What did you/your DCs think of the SUBWAY® Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 themed Kids' Pakâ„¢ that your DC received (thanks to the team at SUBWAY)?


  • What was your overall experience of the screening?


  • If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 to friends and family? Why?


Everyone who adds their feedback to this thread will be entered into a prize draw where three winners will each receive a Sony DSC-TF1 cameras worth £159.

Thanks and good luck!

Thanks for starting the excitement on this horrid afternoon.
My DCs are so proud to be 'mumsnet testers' and keep showing me posters and ads for the movie.

The DC are stupidly excited and have been telling everyone at school about their special preview!

Excellent news about the Subway as well, you just saved me having to fork out for lunch. That will tide them over until we get home. Brilliant.

My DC can't wait.. DH is now pleased as the arguing about who wants what for lunch has been eradicated thanks to the lovely folk at Subway... Just have to get up super early to get there in time now.... Eeeeeek!!!

Just checked and the AA is saying it's a 2 hour drive for us. So we are going to leave at 7:30am so we can stop for a McDonalds breakfast just in case we get lost.

Does anyone know how close the disabled parking is to the cinema entrance?

I had a moment of awe that the viewing came with a TARDIS...

BTW I wasn't quite sure about the subway thing, is that being given during the movie or after? (Just wondering because we are planning what to do with the rest of the day :))

Mnhq - we had an email to say we'd been selected, and I replied straight away saying yes please, but we haven't had anything else come through? I thought we were meant to be emailed a link yesterday? Am worried now as DD very excited!!
