Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - 3.5 Stars

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2012)

"Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" is a treat for children and a torture for diabetics. There is so much food in this movie that the characters literally had to build a dam just to contain all of it. And that was just the leftovers.
Flint Lockwood wants to become an inventor. He knows that the small island that he lives in needs his genius. But nobody wants to listen to his ideas because everything he creates either breaks something, or someone. But then, the island's economy fails, and its citizens are forced to eat nothing but slimy sardines. Flint becomes inspired, and he decides to construct a food-making machine whose name is never successfully pronounced in the entire film.
This is where the fun begins. Flint's machine works! Literally, it is raining food. That one sentence is basically enough to describe "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs." When that first cheeseburger fell from the sky, I knew that I was about to see things I have never seen before in a movie. Here is an animated film that simply wants to be, how should I say this, savored.
