Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

The weather for today is cloudy with chance of meatballs. Tomorrow, it will be raining cheeseburgers. In the town of Swallowfall, which is under the letter A of Atlantic Ocean on the map, it rains food.

Flint Lockwood, a young inventor, dreams of making a difference to the world. He has invented many things such as spray-on shoes, ratbirds, remote TV with legs, thought translator, and more. The townfolks tend to see Flint's invention to be a nuisance or disaster till his latest invention of the Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator (FLDSMDFR for short).

It rains cheeseburgers! Flint programmes the FLDSMDFR to rain different food for each day according to the townfolks' requests. From that day onwards, he becomes the hero of the town. Good moment does not last too long for Flint. Soon, the FLDSMDFR becomes unstable and starts to rain gigantic food. Can Flint save the world? Of course he can, with the help of his sidekick Steve (pet monkey) and girlfriend Sam Sparks.

Rating: 4 out of 5 fairy clouds. Cloudy with a chance of meatballs is a rather entertaining cartoon. There are a couple of twists and jokes which have tickled my funny bone. A great movie for family and especially kids.
