Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009, U.S.)

I can essentially judge this one for itself and not by its book, since I barely remember the picture book.

Basically Flint thinks he's a genius inventor, but something goes wrong with all of his inventions. Sam wants to be a weather reporter but needs a scoop for her career to take off. When the island of Swallow Falls loses its main industry (sardines), Flint's invention that turns water into food takes off, Flint gets the recognition he wants, Sam gets her scoop, and Swallow Falls gets on the map.

This was a cute movie, but it wasn't the funniest animated movie I've ever seen. Some of it was a little over the top, some of it was gross funny (not my kind of funny), and some of it was actually funny. So overall, not bad.

Rating: 3.0
