Critical response [edit]
Critic Lawrence Van Gelder of The New York Times wrote in his review: "Trailing bits of Rocky and E.T. and using a plot device from the 1983 film Screwballs, which itself aspired to be Porky's, Meatballs Part II shares with 1979'due south Meatballs not much more than a summer camp setting. This time - amid the efforts of two senior counselors to observe sexual privacy, among prurience and budding romance involving an innocent blonde preppy and a young punk given a choice of a counselor's job or reform schoolhouse, and amid the efforts of some of the lilliputian campers to harbor an extraterrestrial - the futurity of Camp Sasquatch is in peril.[6]

Lawrence Van Gelder of the New York Times said, "Pallid writing, awkward acting, familiar situations and tired jokes make the morons, wimps and losers of Meatballs Part II easy to pass upwards."
