Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Sandcooler While the original "Meatballs" was about kids dealing with everyday problems and talking to Bill Murray a lot, this in-name-only sequel takes a turn for the bizarre and brings in an alien. This might hurt the realism of the movie, but I just really don't care. The complete randomness of this silly plot line is actually one of the few things that keep this show on the road, because for the most part this is just as standard as they come. You get the same characters from every other summer camp movie, the same jokes, even the same look, things get pretty boring that way. Then they throw an alien with a funny voice in the mix and they manage to recapture my attention. This movie often runs low on ideas, but it's pretty fun to watch anyway.

alanspayne-1 i'm hoping anyone who has seen meatballs 2 can remember a scene where the kids are watching a movie on a projector...i can't remember the blooming name of it...its got guys in black jumpsuits wearing black goggles walking zombie-like thru a swamp...if anyone can help me out it would be much appreciatedand what about Kevin Arnold's's brother from the wonder years about 4 years before the wonder years started.anyway...as kid camp movies go... meatballs 2 ain't bad...shame they pulled the sex scenes tho...!!!anyone with any links to them either...???

mcfly-31 If you laugh at this flick will all depend on how silly you're willing to let a film stretch. There are several practical jokes, mishaps in the woods and kids who operate like they're in their mid 20's (like Hervey's candy bar dealer). The cast is huge, but as one IMDBer said, Kim Richards is a big standout because shes absolutely GORGEOUS! But everyone else does a nice job, too. Mulligan is friendly enough, Mengatti's a good badass, Nepote a great dope boxer and I loved the alien. His voice was cute and his antics interesting enough. The most versatile part went to Paul "Pee-Wee Herman" Ruebens who serves four different capacities in the film as a bus driver, a disc jockey, some sort of Hare Krishna and in the end a referee. I actually enjoyed this more than the first film, simply because this one had more going on in its ninety minutes. And when each summer rolls around I cant help but do the lyrics to the great theme song of the film. But just like in the first movie, it all comes down to if you think over the top silly is funny enough for you.

jaws! this movie isn't as good as part 1 and 3,but still pretty good. it's also a bit better than part 4. i think the reason why this movie wasn't as good as the first one is because they had no one to take control of the movie. the one-liners are not as good as the ones in the first one. but this movie is still all in all not bad. i give meatballs part II **1/2 out of ****
