Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This movie movie isn't that great, but its funny and absurd. The animation is fantastic, and the movie is very fun. I'd recommend this movie, but be warned that it does get a bit stupid.

This family friendly film is about an inventor who creates a machine to distribute food instead of water around the world. When the machine gets out of control, the world could be destroyed by an abundance of food. I did enjoy the film's super animation with its realistic people and settings. The colorfulness in the environment is well received. Anna Faris plays a likable weather forecaster. Bill Hader plays the voice of the inventor. The story is unrealistic but the film does manage to pull it off. I found the film weakest in the storyline and character development. I rarely recognized the voices of notable actors and actresses in their characters. Their characters were developed and their voices weren't necessary needed by A-list actors and actresses. The only two voices that mattered were Hader and Faris who did a stunning job in their roles. Their characters weren't developed enough though and the film's storyline is overshadowed by its poor development. For a family film, it is enjoyable all around. The effects are just stunning and the visuals are brilliant with colors.

Rating-8/10Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a charming animation full of great designs, voices and jokes and that all makes this a movie that all the family can enjoy. It doesn't lack the laughs as I say and some parts make you laugh out loud, the story is a little crazy but if you go a long with it then you will thoroughly enjoy it. I thought it to be solidly a very good movie and here below is why so.The plot is random but all about food and so if you are eager to get hungry whilst watching a film then this is the one to see. The plot I did feel goes just a little fast but in any case you can really enjoy it and yet again, if you get into the flow of it all, you really like it. It is funny and surprised me, it genuinely has funny jokes and things going on and the creative side of the movie is so richly made you will love the heart of it's creation.The voice cast are strong and people such as Bill Hader and Anna Faris contribute brilliantly with there voices. I loved the animation style here and the movement is a little unrealistic but hey, it's an animation basically aimed towards kids so it is just good old fun. With people like James Caan, Mr T and Andy Samberg this film really throws random people at you but they totally work out.Phil Lord and Chris Miller direct and write this and do a great job, they masterfully make this funny and sweet, yet also good fun to watch so that by the end, people from 6 to 60 can be joyful at what they just saw. The detail in the animation is kind of basic but when it comes to the food, well it is beautiful and the movie does seem a lot to make food which isn't so nice, actually look pretty delicious. My main criticism probably comes with the end, I wasn't too keen on the final scenes and what happens etc, mostly because the movie is very along one line then BAM! The ending creates a whole new side twist(some may love the ending though). Some jokes are repeated but hey they are funny in the first place so I don't think there are a lot of places where you can poke holes in this piece.You may expect me to recommend to this to children, well I do because children should love it, the plot and the comedy will make kids laugh and have a great bit of fun. With the adults well, the plot may not draw in older people as much but the jokes should find your funny bone somewhere along the line and you may find this one gem of an animation, and a film you may want to see again one day.Overall I give this a 8/10 and felt it to be a Solidly Impressive movie and one which comes close to animation greatness. I think a recurring theme in this review is that adults can also enjoy this and I can't stress that enough, if any kids out there are reading this review and you loved the film, then spread the word to every adult in the world that not every animation aimed at kids, is only made for the kids.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meat Balls is a really fun movie that the whole family can enjoy. There are a lot of jokes for the adults to like but the kids will also be glued to the screen for the whole thing, which is great.It's not something adults will love from start to finish but there are pretty much zero movies like that around any more, Frozen is probably the best example of that that I can come up with or a few of the best Pixar movies.The voice acting is really good and there is just a lot of great, zany, wacky fun.
