Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was one of the funniest and most entertaining movies I've seen in a while. All the characters were so cute, and there was a lot of witty humor in the movie to add to their personalities. The 3D was brilliant -- it really made the movie more enjoyable and added a depth to the movie that 2D could have never given. The animation was wonderful -- the food looked sooo delicious (make sure you buy something to eat if you go watch this) and the sight of radioactive clouds over the ocean during sunset was absolutely breath-taking. I know I sound weird, but the 3D and animation combined in this movie made it surprisingly realistic. I felt like I was actually in Swallow Falls the whole time.
There were a few underlying messages in the movie, but unlike other movies, they're not blatantly stated. What I loved about them was the way that just simple words were used to convey the importance of love, imagination, and reaching for your dreams.
Overall, an awesome movie that I would definitely go see over and over again. It's now my new favorite, and must-see if you haven't seen it yet!

Oh...sounds quite different from the book. Sad.
The only similarity between the book and the movie is the food falling from the sky. But if you go to the movie with an open mind, it's very good.
I never really liked the book, so I for one am glad the movie is different. Not that I plan to rush out and see it or anything. But when it comes out on cable...
I want the book version!!! The movie sounds completely different!!! ahh! I go with the "book better than movie" rule, (except Tuck Everlasting, when the movie was better than the book)
