Since childhood, Flint Lockwood has dreamed of inventing something that would make a difference in people's lives. Unfortunately, all of his absurd inventions (including spray-on shoes, hair unbalder, and monkey thought translator) have ended in trouble for him, his parents, and his hometown of Swallow Falls. But the ceaseless optimist has never given up on his lifelong goal and now, his latest invention - a machine that makes awesome food rain from the sky - actually works and changes the lives of everyone in his small town. Flint is ecstatic, but there's still a nagging suspicion that something, as always, will go wrong... (official distributor synopsis)

A really great animation film from Sony. It has an excellent and original idea about a quirky genius who invents a machine that makes food fall from the sky, and since no one in the city has eaten anything other than sardines for a long time, it becomes a huge hit. The black policeman (a humorous touch) and the crazy mayor are good, and in the end, everything turns upside down in the classic way. The animation is not breathtaking, but thanks to the idea and cool characters, it's a great thing. 8/10.

A nice cartoon based around a crazy idea and an unbelievable amount of invention. Food falling from the sky would be a headache for the sanitation department, but it would still be great. The main character is a madman who shouldn’t be trusted even with repairing a TV and the main villain is an obese town councilman. Lord and Liller are excellent.

For Somalis a provocation, for anorexics a nightmare, for the consumer society a tease and for me, after a long time, finally an animated film that is properly swinging, has an imaginative style (even if technically it lags behind its counterparts) and is brimming with ideas. Basically, and Aardman film, but without Aardman.

The strength of this animated film is in its frenzy. The mountains of gags of all kinds amused me more than in the later The LEGO Movie by the same creators, and I hardly thought about the (subtle and quite possibly actually differently intended) moralising thanks to them.

Animated films are usually made by people who have imagination and that's why people enjoy them... it's no different with Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Great story, nice characters... so a nice fairy tale not only for kids. It is true that a little more humor wouldn’t hurt... that's why the 4 stars.
