There have been almost enough Meatballs to make a plate of spaghetti, but this entry about a decisive boxing match between two youth camps is basically inedible without Bill Murray to add the necessar... read more read more...y zest, as he did in the original Meatballs. "The Flash" (John Mengatti) is out on probation but has to serve time at Camp Sasquatch as a counselor-in-training (!) as a part of the probation terms. There, he meets the super-innocent Cheryl (Kim Richards), adding interest to his job, but none of the characters in Camp Sasquatch or its rival Camp Patton add much interest to the film. Hershey (Hamilton Camp) is the one-dimensional fascist who runs the militaristic Camp Patton and sure enough, his aide-de-camp is a closet gay (John Larroquette). (Paul Reubens) of Pee Wee Herman fame is a minor player, Richard Mulligan is Giddy (an apt name for his character) and when these oddballs are combined with a strange- looking alien and the final boxing match that will save Camp Sasquatch if only The Flash can win, the pastiche is somewhat hard to digest. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

    A horrible sequel to a fun movie, I was really disappointed, and I hadn't even expected much from it in the first place. It's just stupid.

    Horrible movie with the exception of a few funny moments. The acting and story are pretty bad, though, so I would not recommend this one.

    Ken Weiderhorn directs this abysmal sequel, where all the magic of the first is gone, and they toss an alien kid in the mix. Yep, an alien. That would be funny, right? No. They call it Meathead. Yawn.

    Teenage delinquent Armand "Flash" Carducci is released on parole under the supervision of the Camp Sasquatch summer camp. At the same time an alien teenager is left at the camp by its parents so that it can complete its Earth merit badge. It becomes an object of fascination among... read morest the kids who nickname it "Meathead". Flash soon has his hands full with the attentions of the virginally innocent Cheryl, and when, as camp boxing champion, he must stand up in a fight against the despotic neighbouring Camp Patton that will determine which camp has rights to the lake. Meatballs Part II not only scrapes through, but also starts tunnelling down into the ground on the other side. The film fails to generate a single smile of amusement or laugh on even the slightest level. The film's dialogue and story line is filled with sexual innuendos, adolescent genitalia humor, and the usual co-ed camp pranks and romances. Meatballs Part II is pretty standard adolescent fare, with a few twists thrown in. The story line doesn't make a lot of sense, and is more or less a skeleton to provide titillating dialogue and risqué situations designed to appeal to its targeted teenaged audience. The characters are pretty much stock characters, but there are enough of them with some funny bits to keep your interest, as long as you don't try to make any sense out of this film.
