Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Review

A charmingly cute comedy for children and adults alike comes with a side of morals and lessons you can take home in a doggy bag. Flint Lockwood is a gangly up-and-coming scientist with heaping portions of ambition. His overwhelming desire to do something good in his life and for his town, Swallow Falls, keeps him inventing. One corky failed experiment after another finally leads Flint to cook up something good; a machine that changes water into food. While trying to get enough power to work the machine Flint manages to ruin the unveiling of a new tourist attraction, destroy that attraction, send the machine rocketing into space, and meet a young weather intern, Sam, to whom he is instantly attracted. To his surprise the machine is successful and cheeseburgers start raining down from the sky. Days start looking brighter for Flint as he becomes the town hero and admired but everyone, everyone but his father. His father, an old fashioned fisherman, doesn't understand science, or his son. Father's know best and before long Flint's machine is out of control and Swallow Falls is threatened by a disastrous food storm. Will Flint sacrifice his stardom and save the town for real or will the Mayor convince him to continue making food and put the whole town in danger? Before Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is over you will be asking for seconds or even thirds.
