After the disastrous food storm in the first film, Flint and his friends are forced to leave the town. Flint accepts the invitation from his idol Chester V to join The Live Corp Company, which has been tasked to clean the island, and where the best inventors in the world create technologies for the betterment of mankind. When Flint discovers that his machine still operates and now creates mutant food beasts like living pickles, hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees and apple pie-thons, he and his friends must return to save the world.

Decent watch at best, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend except for younger audiences (possibly with bad taste in humor). Every line in this movie is awful. I'll admit that I got pulled in a couple of times just because we went from horrible to average only to have it punchline in awful again. Don't get me wrong, when I say "awful" it is a just a lot of bad, cringey humor. But it really is like, "okay, they gave us a sequel, but there is NO WAY we're getting a 3rd, let's go ham." I wasn't a big fan of the first one, and creating sentient food is cute, but weirdly problematic from a biological or large-scale morality standpoint. Ultimately the concept of a "potatopotomus" is cute and slightly amusing, but quickly loses steam as part of a story. If you are able to get in a helicopter and get far enough away from everything, there is actually a good story structure there, but just the worst execution.
