"Prepare to get served"

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2011)

The most delicious event since macaroni met cheese. Inspired by the beloved children's book, the film focuses on a town where food falls from the sky like rain.
I saw this film by accident... Standing in line, highly expecting to see a new action-thriller, the tickets ran out. I was mad, especially how I drove an hour up the road to the theater. The only thought in my head was how I wasted my time, and how bad I wanted to see the movie. So instead of staying with the grudge, I went to see this. Animations are hated, due to their kid-like nature, but I'm surprisingly a fan. Pixar hits me the most, and most likely will be the only animation I'll love, but Dreamworks has some memorable stuff too, so I had SOME expectations. I sat down, expecting a clichéd and fun movie, and came out BLOWN AWAY! The animation has improved since Dreamwork's beginning. They have some good stuff, but their animation has died down since Shrek. But this movie is most possibly one of the best animations with witty antics, stunning animation, and an intelligent plot. The movie, for one, is based off a book. It was a short book, but instead of keeping with the book, they went all out and created an altered universe of the story. The story is great; who wouldn't love food falling from the sky? The only thing I would suspect is bad reviews because of it's child-like ways of presenting things. I believe some people forget that this movie is actually labeled as a KID'S FILM and get a bit carried away. Nevertheless, if you avoid the kid's presentations and their ways of doing some stuff, you'll be fine. I saw this film 3D... The animation is absolutely brilliant, comparing with Pixar's Walle. The characters look amazingly real and you can actually read their lips; a recent discovery in technology. The voice acting was great, unexpectedly, and I was overall shocked of how much I liked it. If you like animations, see it. If you don't, of course I would suggest not. It's a love it or hate it film, but I surely loved it. 8/10.
