The film follows the usual formula of a summer camp movie, with pranks, romances, and wacky hijinks involving the campers and counselors. However, the addition of an alien character adds a sci-fi element to the story. The young campers, led by a precocious girl named Wendy, befriend Meathead and try to protect him from discovery by Giddy and the other adults at the camp.
Meanwhile, Flash, played by actor John Mengatti, struggles to fit in with the other counselors due to his tough exterior and lack of experience with camping. He initially clashes with Cheryl, played by Kim Richards, who is more interested in books than boys. However, the two eventually fall for each other in a predictable but charming storyline.
The climax of the film revolves around the boxing match between Giddy and Hershey, with the fate of Camp Sasquash hanging in the balance. Despite some underhanded tactics from Hershey, Giddy emerges victorious and the camp is saved.
Meatballs Part II was not as successful as the original film, but it has become a cult classic among fans of 80s comedies. It features a cast of recognizable actors, including Mengatti, Richards, and Richard Mulligan as Giddy. The addition of the alien character makes for a unique twist on the typical summer camp movie and adds to the film's nostalgic charm.
