WHEN we last met inventor Flint Lockwood (voiced by Bill Hader), he had reluctantly destroyed his malfunctioning creation, the FLDSMDFR, which transformed water into delicious treats.
Flint excitedly goes to work for his idol, Chester V (Will Forte), CEO of Live Corp in San Franjose, and prepares to dazzle his colleagues with his Party-In-A-Box, aided by omnipresent sidekick Steve The Monkey.
Unfortunately, Flint's invention misfires and he becomes a laughing stock.
Chester V offers Flint a shot at redemption by embarking on a top secret mission back to Swallow Falls.
It transpires that the FLDSMDFR has continued to produce gargantuan foodstuffs and the Bacon Cheese Spiders are learning to swim.
In a short time, the edible predators will reach the mainland and wreak havoc.
Flint heads for the island in the company of his meteorologist girlfriend, Sam Sparks (Anna Faris) and father Tim (James Caan), plus a few old friends: her cameraman Manny (Benjamin Bratt), mascot Brent McHale (Andy Samberg) and police officer Earl Devereaux (Terry Crews).
Meanwhile, Chester V and his orang-utan assistant called Barb (Kristen Schaal) monitor Flint's progress closely from Live Corp HQ.
