Coming from Sony animation, Cloudy with a
Chance of Meatballs is a solid if relatively unspectacular film that is as
silly as it is fun. Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader) is an inventor down on his luck
until he accidently makes food rain from the sky. While this phenomenon boosts
his town’s economy, things spiral out of control when the giant food begins to
wreck havoc. He aims to stop the surreal events by teaming up with weather girl
Sam (Anna Faris) and his monkey Steve (Neil Patrick Harris). Featuring some
vivid if simplistic animation, Cloudy is a visual treat, with its highlight
being escaping from a tornado made of spaghetti. However, the supporting
characters are annoying and the climax suffers from shoehorning in an
underdeveloped antagonist to act as conflict and payoff for our characters
journey
