Product Description
THE MOST DELICIOUS EVENT SINCE MACARONI MET CHEESE. ANIMATED.
Amazon.com
Judi and Ron Barrett's Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a much-loved, whimsical book about a tiny island where food falls from the sky like rain. The book serves as a jumping-off point for Sony's animated, digital 3-D Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs which is not so much a retelling of the book as an exploration of what makes food rain from the sky on a small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Flint (Bill Hader), a clever young inventor with a reputation for creations gone awry, has recently completed a machine that he claims will turn water into food. Like his past failed inventions, Flint's new food-converting machine doesn't work as planned, and on its initial test run it ends up getting launched into the sky where clouds form and begin to rain cheeseburgers. The falling burgers destroy the Swallow Falls community's latest attempt to bolster its failing, sardine-dependent economy, but the Mayor's (Bruce Campbell) initial fury quickly turns to greedy anticipation as he begins to realize that food falling from the sky could serve as an innovative tourist draw. As the entire town is caught up re-defining itself as "Chew and Swallow," only Flint's father (James Caan) remains skeptical of his son's invention. Greed leads to some very strange weather events like spaghetti twisters and extra-giant food which, while providing a huge career opportunity for brainy weather intern Sam Sparks (Anna Faris) who's masquerading as an air-headed television personality, also threaten to destroy the town and its inhabitants. In the end, only the collaborative efforts of Flint, his father, and Sam can save the town of Chew and Swallow from certain destruction by the out of control invention. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a funny, imaginative film that's well-animated and immensely entertaining for kids and adults. Rated PG for brief mild language, but appropriate for most ages 5 and older. --Tami Horiuchi

 Great movie! March 10, 2010
Heather Harris (Madison, WI United States)
We went to this movie expecting it to be okay, but nothing too remarkable. It was fantastic! My husband and I and our three kids (5, 3, 2 years old) absolutely loved it. I never read the book, so I can't say anything about how faithful it is to the book. As its own movie, it's very well done. It's really funny, sweet, and highly quotable. Another plus is that it's even better with repeat viewings (and with our kids, there have been many). For this set specifically, I'm very happy that with so many kids movies, they're selling the combo DVD/Blu-ray. The Blu-ray quality is excellent, but it's a great help to have the DVD as well, as our main TV still has just the DVD player. I wish other movies had this option as well, but it seems to be just kids movies right now.
Great movie March 8, 2010

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a great movie for kids of all ages. Kids will love the somewhat frantic pace and fast action, while adults will enjoy some of the jokes that go over the kids heads.
My boyfriend and I both fell off the couch laughing during the scene with the gummy bears on the wings of the plane. My kids didn't understand what was so funny but they also loved that scene.
Better than Up March 7, 2010
A. Lynn (NY, NY USA)
This movie was truly a spectacular film in every sense of the word. If i could compare its greatness to anything I would say its is like the Strega Nona of our children's generation. Up seriously has nothing on this masterpiece of CGI perfection.
FUNNY AS ALL HAM! March 6, 2010
Manuel Munoz (NJ, USA)
Incredibly funny film with great pacing. If you're a fan of Arrested Development, I feel like you'll enjoy this type of humor. A lot of jokes and bits get repeated references. GREAT STUFF!
Loved it!! March 6, 2010
Savvybuyer
The movie is a wonderful animation with a great story. At the expense of us all, tired old stereotypes are glibly kicked, while the characters unroll a fable. Every age group, and most every human sort, from the villainous to the imperfect hero, is represented. If they weren't in pixels, you'd swear you've met all of them. Invention and deep understanding are the keys that made such a wonderful, happy-ending creation.
