Took me by surprise

Rating: 8/10 (23 August 2014)

I did not know what to expect from this movie. I like animation films, but having been spoiled by Disney and Pixar, I don't really watch that many other types of animation. However I'm glad I gave this one a shot.
Cloudy with a chance of meatballs has it all. A likable protagonist, an easy straight forward story, an occasionally creepy vibe when the food comes alive (those deep fried chickens crawling down from the ceiling like the orcs from The Felowship of the Ring, were pretty creepy). But what really got to me, was the relationship between the hero Flint and his blue- collar father Tim really pulled at the heart strings.
It was beautifully crafted and had a good heart.
Check it out.
