SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

bobby-maddox "Ever since he was a kid, Flint Lockwood was an inventor but not a very good one, seeing as how none of his inventions have turned out as planned. So, his father has him work in his bait shop full time. Not going to give up easily, Flint has one more invention up his sleeve, one that should create food out of water for the sardine overdosed population of the island where he lives. And like all the others, this one ends in failure, too, even destroying Sardineland, whose opening Sam Sparks, an intern from the Weather News Network, was covering. But then, there are signs of success... With animation that is less than satisfying and unimaginative, the best that could be said about ""Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs"" is that it does manage to be silly on occasion with one great joke. And with the exception of Bruce Campbell's fantastic vocal work, that's pretty much it.(Does he do a lot of this or did somebody else miss their calling?) While I do salute the movie for favoring intelligence, especially with women, it does not help that the so called hero is something of a jerk. And the central message surrounding overconsumption and the 'obesity epidemic' is severely heavy handed when considering that Flint's invention would have great potential for those parts of the globe where people are going hungry."

Ersbel Oraph A film for limited intellect parents. So they can say to themselves, look, I am taking my child to worldly entertainment! Science that parents can understand. And help their children be smart like them and believe in all sorts of magical creatures, from ghosts, spirits and angels to UFOs "genetically" engineered hamburgers out of water: it's really easy, you just modify the DNA of the rain water. Add paternalism and the "smart" stuff the parents grew on, like the Bat cave and flying men who happen to wear their underpants on the outside and there you have it: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

Landon Legate Back in 2009,a movie base on the book came out called Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs. It had received positive reviews and was a box office success. To be honest, I hate this movie. And today I will explain why.The Story: The plot is not really that original, it is the same story where the guy is a loser, then he becomes famous, then the thing he did goes haywire, and now he has to fix it. The story does nothing original and its filled with clichés. But I will admit, the concept of them starting off eating sardines and then they have food falling from the sky is creative. Also I really like the father son relationship in the movie. But none of those positives of the story can not save it.The Animation: Some positives I have with the animation is that the food animation is really good and colorful. Also the backgrounds look nice. But the terrible thing about it is the character designs and the character animation. The character designs look awful and just disgusting to look at. Also the animation is way to cartoony and over the top that is just makes it look unappealing. This makes the animation some of the worst looking animation I have ever seen in my life.The Characters: Besides Flint, the Mayor, and Flints dad, all the characters have no purpose and are just filler. Sam is obnoxious, Baby Brent is a idiot, and the mayor is a stupid idiot. These characters can get very annoying. But, some characters can actually be likable. One being Earl, his heart is in the right place and wants to care of his son. Also Flints dad Tim Lockwood, also wants to take care of his son and just wants him to be safe. But the worst character is the protagonist himself, Flint Lockwood. Not only is he obnoxious, but the things he does is idiotic.Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs is over-hyped and is a terrible movie with horrible writing, annoying characters, and some of the worst animation in the history of cinema.Story: 4/10 Animation: 3/10 Characters: 4/10 Overall: 4/10

Syl This family friendly film is about an inventor who creates a machine to distribute food instead of water around the world. When the machine gets out of control, the world could be destroyed by an abundance of food. I did enjoy the film's super animation with its realistic people and settings. The colorfulness in the environment is well received. Anna Faris plays a likable weather forecaster. Bill Hader plays the voice of the inventor. The story is unrealistic but the film does manage to pull it off. I found the film weakest in the storyline and character development. I rarely recognized the voices of notable actors and actresses in their characters. Their characters were developed and their voices weren't necessary needed by A-list actors and actresses. The only two voices that mattered were Hader and Faris who did a stunning job in their roles. Their characters weren't developed enough though and the film's storyline is overshadowed by its poor development. For a family film, it is enjoyable all around. The effects are just stunning and the visuals are brilliant with colors.
