Pie from the Sky

Rating: 7/10 (24 January 2010)

Positively hyperactive disaster movie parody with an unusually creepy underside to it. The gags and puns fly by faster than one can say "giant banana" and the excellent voice work is the icing on the cake.
Unlike the best animated movies, the pic lacks a certain transcending magical quality - despite a few well-made tranquil moments, but the pace never flags and the predictably formulaic storyline is enhanced by the sheer exuberance of the whole likable enterprise that offers some wonderfully inventive moments.
An immensely entertaining if not too memorable culinary roller-coaster ride.
