A food storm?

Rating: 7/10 (18 January 2010)

Sony Pictures Animation and Columbia Pictures present a feature for the whole family. You've heard of a food fight; how about a food storm? Flint Lockwood's inventions have failed his whole young life; one day one of his contraptions was to be the one, a winner. Instead it runs amok and destroys the town square; but wait...his project that finally landed in the clouds appears to be working. His machine starts bombarding the town with cheeseburgers. He can have it rain any and all food requested by the town's happy and hungry citizens. Pizza, hot dogs, pie and ice cream. The machine finally hits "overload" and unleashes spaghetti tornadoes and super-sized meatballs.
Terrific animation with fantastic hues. The story line is simple enough to please every viewer. No obligatory 'potty' humor and the soundtrack is on the bright side. A diverse cast lend their voices to give life to the likable and not so appealing characters: Bill Hader, Anna Faris, Bruce Campbell, James Caan, Mr. T., Neil Patrick Harris, Benjamin Bratt, Al Roker and Andy Samberg.
