One word: RIDICULOUS!

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2009)

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is simply put the most ridiculous movie I have ever seen.
And I loved it!
Amungst the non-stop absurdities however there is some real cool messages being to sent to our kids: The movie hints at society's tendency to place physical appearance above all else, and mocks this behaviour in a funny and creative way. Furthermore, ingenuity and creativeness are definitely being encouraged in this movie. I can see kids running out after watching this and looking for a bunch of old equipment to use to try and invent something cool. With that said, kids WILL LOVE this movie. No doubt about it. I can see many kids under the age of 10 finding this movie to be undoubtedly the best movie they have ever seen. Most adults, while shaking our heads at the sheer ridiculousness, will still find it to be a very enjoyable experience and a way above average animated film.
One of my favourite experiences from this movie, was hearing the uncontrollable laughter explode out of my daughter. In the end, all of the ridiculousness in this movie, essentially makes super smart geeks look cool and the status quo of our society look even more ridiculous than giant food falling out of the sky!
