Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

Rating: 7.6/10
Genre: Animation
Overall value for time and money: 7.6/10

Inspired from the children's novel, the movie spans around a gifted and inquisitive scientist who have been inventing the weirdest stuff... from spray on socks to flying rats to of course... a machine devised to absorb water droplets and make food. Food on requests!!

However the machine didn't work as it needed more power but before he could get it to work, it blew up into the sky... and not long after... food started raining down on a once dying town which depended hugely on their tuna imports.

The characters in this film are awesomely hilarious, especially the flexible police officer and the male leads's "eyeless" father. There's a good deal of character development and the ending did quite make it for me. Intelligent solution to an almost hopeless problem. I liked how the director tied everything up in the end, kinda reminded me of Meet The Robinsons.

Light-hearted, fun-filled rollercoaster ride into a world of deliciously raining food. As the tagline goes... "Prepare to get served!"
