cricketbat Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs isn't just 3-D eye candy - the story is just as entertaining as the visuals. This movie has clever and quick comedy that appeals to both children and adults. It's silly and sweet and a lot of fun. I'm betting this becomes a family favorite.

Critica 7 (hc-18804) This is a bad movie, plain and simple. First off, the character animation is atrocious. The designs look awful, and the movement is unwatchable. The humor is also very juvenile, with very few jokes that actually work. The main character, Flint, is very unlikeable. In fact, most of the characters are awful. Tim Lockwood and the Mr. T cop are good though. The story is predictable and bland. My advice? Go read the book it was based on instead.

Mayflower73 I am a huge fan of animated movies. From 'Wall-E' to 'How to train your dragon' from 'Toy Story' to 'Finding Nemo' to (yes) 'Frozen'. I just love them. 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' is definitely not an animated movie I love or even like. One cliché after another. The absolutely unintelligent, stupid 'villains' there to hate without a real purpose (I'm not even sure how that is possible) just like the 'heroes' (who are not likable and couldn't produce an intelligent thought at all). In the middle of the movie I gave up and pressed 'forward' because at least I wanted to find out how the movie ended. The ending was just as useless as the rest of the movie. I did not enjoy the movie.

Metra Ton Wiki has a good critic line that sums up this movie: "This film wasn't made for you, or me. It was made for dangerously, easily distracted 9-year-olds." So I guess nowadays children are granted to have ADHD, and this kind of entertainment is the only thing that can keep them focused on something.As for movie itself - it's quality is below criticism.Character design? Ridiculous for the sake of ridiculous. Voiceacting? Average. Music? Hardly. Plot? **It happens. It always gets resolved. Romance ensued. Oh, and the protagonist just has to be a special snowflake Peter Parker. In every single cartoon. Can Hollywood produce anything else? Humor? Scary Movie 5 has better humor. Or perhaps at least the same level of humor. Premise? Clinically crazy. Even taking it as an infant cartoon... What happened to Lilo and Stich? Lion King? Eh - any cartoon that is thoughtful and deep? Where romance and daddy issues are not the major sellers?What kind of rating do parodies have? Meet the Spartans? Scary Movie? About 3\10. And that's from a fan. Now I will not go insane pondering how this baloney got 7\10+. Why do I give it 4\10? Because while it is on the production quality of parody comedy - it's at least presentable to children.But seriously, I feel sorry for you and your children if you really adore this kind of... cuisine.
