Reviews:

A hilarious and imaginatively entertaining animated movie.
Although – as many people do – I generally prefer Pixar films to the animated fare created by other companies, I can’t deny that a film like Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is very hard not to love. Although it isn’t particularly complex, thought-provoking, beautiful or masterful, it’s a very entertaining, funny, cute-as-hell and effective animated film. Children with definitely love it, and adults… well, that actually depends on the adult in question. Although I certainly enjoy all kinds of movies, there’s always – for me – some satisfaction to be had when watching something so obviously goofy and kiddy. Meatballs is kiddy, and that’s precisely what I loved about it. It may not be this year’s best animated movie – that honour goes to Pixar’s Up – but it certainly is better than the likes of Monsters vs. Aliens.

The film tells the story of Flint Lockwood (voice of Bill Hader), a young inventor who dreams of, someday, creating something that will be loved by everyone and make him more popular and, most importantly, improve the lives of everyone in town. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been able to do so, and his technofobic father (voice of James Caan) doesn’t really help at all. One day, though, he manages to invent something that will change the lives of everyone in town forever: a machine that makes food fall from the sky. Everybody seems to be happy with him now – including mayor Shelbourne (Bruce Campbell) and the by-the-book police offer, Earl (Mr. T) – but, predictably enough, something goes wrong: excess amounts of food start to overload the island where the town is located, and now Flint, along with TV reporter Sam Sparks (Anna Faris) has to try to solve their problem.

Yes, the plot is pretty predictable, and it certainly won’t make anyone above the age of 5 be shocked with surprise or anything of the sort, but it certainly is very imaginative, and it should work in a very “oh, it’s sort of nice” kind of way. I liked the way Flint was portrayed – Hader’s wacky and not-so-recognizable voice is perfect for the character – and the fact that, although most characters are either archetypes or stereotypes – consider, for the example, Bruce Campbell’s greedy and – eventually – obese mayor – they are all voice so professionally and characterized in such an naive and cute kind of way, that one just doesn’t care. I rooted for Flint the whole way, and I actually thought that the romantic sub-plot between him and Sam was cute and funny.

Visually, I don’t think the movie is on par to the likes of Wall-E or Up, but I think that comparing it to those productions would be a bit unfair. Wall-E had a sort-of realistic kind of look, and Up, while a little more cartoonish, had a very realistic flair to it. On the other hand, there’s something very old-fashioned in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’ look and the way it is animated. Characters behave and move the way old TV cartoons behaved forty or more years ago, and I like that. They jump a lot, are very “agile” and are just… cartoonish. Clearly, the animators didn’t want the movie to give a palpable sense of realism; in a way, they were trying to craft an old-fashioned cartoon with the latest technological tools, and they have done it very successfully.

What else can I say about the movie? It certainly is very naive, and it doesn’t explore any deep themes or moral problems, but that’s just OK. While this year’s mediocre Monsters vs. Aliens was terribly simplistic, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is just simple, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with movies like Wall-E having very significant messages and complex love stories and such, but if a parent wants to go with their toddler to see a movie that isn’t very complicated but that isn’t stupid or boring either, then Meatballs is an excellent choice. After all, even if there isn’t much beneath the surface, I can’t imagine a single adult maintaining a straight face throughout the film’s runningtime. The movie is hilarious, – just remember Flint’s father’s eyebrows! -, it’s inventive, it’s imaginative; it’s also pretty gorgeous and it features some effective voice acting and interesting, wacky characters. It’s not dumb and it doesn’t pander to the least common denominator. Most interestingly, though, it made me hungry. That’s not a quality many movies posses.

Not only does justice to the book but takes its own sweep of originality and charm
Anyone involved with the elementary school world as at least heard of the Barret classic “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.” As a teacher, I was thrilled to learn it was to be made a movie. As usual, however, that leads to the problem of whether it would stick too much to the book to be entertaining for the screen or a Hollywood catastrophe that steals only the title?

I know it’s irritating to read from those book loyalists, but it’s only a fair comparison. I felt this movie found a perfect balance of big-screen awesomeness and the charm of the book.

For book enthusiasts, they pretty much had everything right. This film does indeed follow the plot of the book. Entire illustrations are recreated for the movie with stunning nods to Ron Barret’s artwork. Then again, one must keep in mind that the book was an extremely general plot. The movie goes into detail, very much into detail, of what was going on in the town.

We have the classic nerd, Flint Lockwood, a lovable and goofy character who embodies the wannabe coolness and social awkwardness and desperation of every social outcast. He’s almost painful to watch, but I think it’s what makes him so likable–you feel sorry for him. Anywho, in a desperate attempt to prove his worth to his father, he invents a machine that turns water into food. And hence the coming of the trademark weather of Swallow Falls (later renamed to Barrets’ Chewandswallow).

Honestly, I was surprised at the plot they got going out of this–while still maintaining the basics of the book. It had an ADHD spirit with wonderfully over-the-top characters. This will probably annoy many a soul, but I thought it a winning combination for those who can put up with it all. Really, you need the heart and mind of a child for this, but if you can summon those up, you will be impressed.

I saw it in the normal format, but I’m sure it was an intense hoot in 3D. That might have been a bit much for me, but I’m sure the kids loved food flying at them. Regardless, the animation was stunning, combining a tribute to Ron Barret’s amazing illustrations in background with pleasantly cartoony characters.

This was much better than expected. It was creative, extremely fun, and paid reference to everything from “Independence Day” to “The Twilight Zone”. You may need the heart and mind of a child for this, but if you can summon those up, you will be impressed.
