Good harmless fun

Rating: 7/10 (22 September 2013)

Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader) is an inventive kid, but all his inventions end badly. His father (James Caan) is tired of it all and forces him to work at his bait and tackle store.
One thing their town is known for is sardine. They closed the cannery down and the town is in a funk. It's not only the economy but it's also all the sardines. Everybody eats only sardines. So Flint try to invent a machine to make a cheese burger. The machine gets sent to the atmosphere where it creates food which rain down on the town. At first, it's wonderful but things get out of hand.
The animation is nice and the characters are likable. It's a good family movie with some harmless goofy fun. I like the brightly colored style which fits the story quite well.
