Superb animation and voice acting, but something disturbed me about this movie.

Rating: Null/10 (8 February 2010)

What's not to like, with such nice voice actors as Bill Hader, Anna Faris, James Caan, Bruce Campbell, Mr. T, Lauren Graham, and Al Roker? Did I just type "Al Roker", personality from NBC's Morning Show? Yes indeed.
The animation is superb. The voice acting is superb. But the story? I suppose it strikes a chord with kids. But some some reason I found it disturbing.
There is a small island, located on the map right under the "A" in Atlantic. Their fame is sardines. But the world is getting tired of sardines, as are the residents of this small island.
Bill Hader is Flint Lockwood, who from a very young age decided that he was special, and that he could invent great things. But it never happened. Rats with wings were, and still are, a disaster. His remote control TV had legs, so it could come to the viewer to let him to change channels.
James Caan is Tim Lockwood, Flint's dad. He runs a bait and tackle shop and he just wants Flint to give up his folly and join him in the business as dad and son.
But one day when Anna Faris as Sam Sparks, cub reporter is dispatched to their small island as a fill-in weather person, Flint's invention takes off, literally. It is a machine that can turn plain old water (or water vapor!) into any kind of food. Dial in the food, and soon it is raining ... cheeseburgers. Later pizza, or eggs and bacon, or whatever it is programmed.
Soon the little island is celebrating its rebirth, and plan a big new opening where tourists can come and participate in the raining of food. And that is where the title originates, on the final day of this story it is cloudy, and soon begins to rain giant meatballs and giant spaghetti.
A movie of this sort wouldn't be complete without a love interest, and Flint and Sam provide that. From an adult perspective, it is a silly movie with a few good, genuine laughs. From a kid's perspective, it is probably really fun.
