*** CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS Review Thread

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
"Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" is a silly, ludicrous movie that's an hour too long. Some fantastic visuals, and fun moments. But sub-mediocre overall. Probably fun for young kids; adults, meh.

(I did not see it in 3D)

Well, as a 28 year-old who saw it in a packed theater full of kids (at least 3 birthday party groups were in there) I loved it. Food, glorious and enormous food. It was the first film I've seen in 3-D so I didn't know what to expect. To my pleasant surprise the entire film was in 3-D, even the end credits. I don't watch animated movies because I have absolutely no interest in all those Disney/Pixar releases which this was not.  This to me wasn't about cutesy fish or talking cars, toys come to life....this film could have been done live-action and still work. It would likely be a $200 million-dollar effects extravaganza, but it would still work.  Homages to disaster films (loved the take on ID4's destruction sequence) and just a gorgeous visual feast for the eyes and stomach. I must see it again if I have the chance to theatrically.
