Movie Reviews - Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

DaThis is wonderful animation that's every child's fantasy.

It follows an inventor Flint Lockwood played by Bill Hader ( Knocked Up ), who has been inventing items no one actually wanted, and could not find a helpful purpose for, for example shoes without shoelaces ; that unfortunately he's unable to remove, as well as flying rats, a thought translator for a monkey called Steve ; played by Neil Patrick Harris ( Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay ),which has become his pet and his right-hand man for his projects, as well as a television that walks.

What adds to the hilarity is that all through the movie parts of his inventions make small cameos, the flying rats are not ever too far away, as well as the walking TV.

Flint lives in a tiny city called Swallow'underneath the An of the Atlantic' that is legendary for its sardines, its sardines are found everywhere for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the town mayor Shelbourne played by Bruce Campbell ( Spider-Man three ) is trying to boost tourism by having a Swallow Sardines theme park complete with the first promoter of Swallow Sardines'Baby Brent' played by Andy Samberg, who has now grown but is still riding on his name.

Flint attempts to invent a machine that makes food by simply adding water, but his dad Jim played by James Caan ( las vegas ) is tired of his many inventions that have so far served no pointed purpose, and would like him to give it to start working with him at the local family shop that sells Swallow Sardines.

Flint agrees to work with his father, but doesn't concede defeat. At the opening ceremony of Swallow Sardines theme park, he puts the finishing touches to his invention but manages to break the theme park in the process, much to the anger of the local cop Earl Devereaux played by Mr T. ( for some strange reason he appears to move around in acrobatics ), but as chance would as blind luck would have it, his invention is blown away into the clouds, soon after it starts to rain hamburgers. Most are fascinated as to how this came about, particularly a stories columnist Sam Sparks played by Anna Faris ( F.A.Q about time travel ) who has just started her new job, and meets Flint. Flint realising his invention works, tells Sam that it was his plan all along ( to impress her ).

Shortly the joys of the movie takes shape with Flint being able to order anything from his base where his device in the clouds leads it to rain announced product, be it eggs and ham, bread, toast, any food that may be thought of, is rained down.

The mayor realising the potentiality of a town that rains food ( and getting overly accustomed to it ) invites everybody in the world to Swallow, where they can have any food they desire, simply rained down from above, he realises this can help the city's tourism and put Swallow on the map.

Flint's pop on the other hand sees something terribly wrong with a device that just brings food from the sky, and tells him it does not feel natural, unlike his sardine business that has to be by hand compressed into a tin, but Flint is caught up in the acceptance of his invention and the super hero standing he's now cultivated after a period of lampoon, so dismisses any worries with the machine.

It has come classic scenes, particularly where Flint is making an attempt to get his dad to operate his PC. It's a unique and lovely movie all the family will enjoy, particularly the image of all sorts of food raining down from the sky.
