Movie Reviews - Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

This 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 nobody truly wanted, and could not find a useful purpose for, for example shoes without shoelaces ; that unfortunately he is unable to get rid of, as well as flying rats, a concept 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 film parts of his inventions make tiny cameos, the flying rats will never be too far away, as well as the walking TV.

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

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 pa, but does not concede defeat. At the opening rite of Swallow Sardines theme park, he puts the finishing touches to his invention but manages to break the theme park in the midst, much to the anger of the local policeman Earl Devereaux played by Mr T. ( for some unusual reason he seems to move around in acrobatics ), but as luck would have it, his invention is blown away into the clouds, shortly afterwards it starts to rain burgers. Most are fascinated as to how this came about, particularly a stories journalist 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 wonder of the flick takes shape with Flint being in a position to order anything from his base where his device in the clouds causes it to rain said product, be it eggs and ham, bread, toast, any food that may be thought of, is rained down.

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

Flint's dad on the other hand sees something really wrong with a device that just brings food from the sky, and tells him it does not feel natural, unlike his sardine business which has to be by hand compressed into a tin, but Flint is mixed up in the acceptance of his invention and the super hero status he has now cultivated after years of mock, so dismisses any fears with the gizmo.

It has come classic scenes, particularly where Flint is trying to get his father to operate his computer. It is a unique and lovely film everyone will enjoy, especially the picture of all types of food raining down from the sky.
