Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs!

 

Recently got an opportunity to watch this long awaited film – Cloudy with a chance of meatballs did everything to amuse me, and yes, I was amused!

Based on a book by the same name by Judy Brett, the movie begins with a motto “The world needs originality”, and this drives a small kid named Flint into making a lot of weird and silly inventions, but none seem to work right! But one day, he accidently makes a machine which could convert water into food! Yes, you got that right….FOOD! What follows is hotdogs, cheese burgers ad spaghetti dropping in from the sky, and every one is happy. But of course, technology takes its course, and soon the size of the food increases, creating havoc in the town. The rest of the story involves people trying to save the world from this maddened food rain!

What I liked about this movie was the story and of course, the top-notch animation sequences. The movie is down right funny, especially the scene when Flint asks his dad to send him an email. The entire sequence is hilarious, and I could relate to it so much. The film clearly follows the motto it begins with – yes, the movie is original, and unlike any other movie ever made! I am not saying that it is the best film ever, all I am saying is that its original, and fresh, and that’s what we, as audience, need! 

Of course there were times when you feel how did this happen, but the over all impact of the film is such that you kind of feel partial towards it, and leave those “Just to build on time” sequences aside! Over all, a light, funny, original and visually appealing movie that is simply delicious and leaves your mouth watering for the most part of it! ;)

My verdict: Catch it! and trust me, you shall come out of the theatres singing:

It’s raining sunshine, All over mankind,

it’s not only in your mind, it is raining sunshine!

Happy viewing everyone! :)
