One of the best things about the Movies over the past decade or so has been the resurgence of the animated film. I have gotten as much enjoyment from animated films during this time period as I have from any other genres. Great titles like "The Incredibles" "The Iron Giant" "Monsters Inc." "Bolt" and "Monsters Vs. Aliens" have made cartoons cool again. And while "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" is quite a bit of fun its characters are not as strong and its story not as interesting as those other winning toons. The voice characterizations themselves are pretty great especially Anna Faris Bruce Campbell and of all people Mr. T. The visuals were at times amazing but we've gotten used to that being the normal mode of operations these days. I guess the plot didn't really work well for me and I couldn't get myself to care much about a flood of food. The action scenes were often too manic to truly follow but it was fun to watch some of the things going on in the backgrounds of shots. I'd say that overall this was a fun move and I can recommend it to friends especially those with kids but its not one I'd likely pop in the DVD player for my own personal viewing again.
Tim Lockwood steals the show.
I remember seeing trailers for this and thinking it would certainly suck. Sony hadn't made (generally doesn't make) any good animated films. Usually they are really cheesy and have a blah storyline. But then, boom, I'm wrong.
This one is so cheesy that it is literally falling from the sky. See what I did there? You see the movie is about food falling from the sky. This time it is cheesy in a great way though, along with a surprisingly great plot. The whole time it is just great hilarious joke after hilarious reference after hilarious joke, and just about each one is tied to the storyline directly.
See this guy's face here? That might be your face of surprising enjoyment after finally watching this.
Most of the time funny, but also very weird. But with some of the best SFX I've every seen in an animation flick!
One of the better childhood book to film adaptations! It’s funny. The cast is solid. Overall, a really solid film that was better than expectations!
Rating: 3.5/5 - 8/10 - Would Recommend
A little bit better than most of these type of animation films although they are usually pretty easy to watch. Good voice work, enough humor to entertain.
Some of the gags are surprisingly brilliant.
Apart from the bizarre concept of weather changing into food, this is pretty generic. For such an unusual idea, the characters themselves are bland, there is very little humour that works and the finale act becomes tiresome. Disappointing!
Not a film to watch when you're hungry.
Different to others. Totally wack and a lot of fun!!
asdfgjhkl Certainly one of my favourite animated movies! All those wacky ideas, the whole art design... fantastic!
A bit too weired for my taste..
But overall a okay movie.
