Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs


Hilarious! Very funny. I kept laughing throughout the movie. If you’re stressed or you want to have a laugh, this is the perfect movie. But I recommend eating first before seeing this movie or you’ll be drooling throughout the movie.
Flint Lockwood wants to contribute to others ever since he was a kid. He does a lot of inventions but they don’t exactly work out, like his Spray-On Shoes and rat-birds. He also has a pet monkey named Steve. Steve wears one of Flint’s invention, which allows the wearer’s thoughts to be said aloud. Steve mostly says 1 word at a time and he loves gummi bears. =P
Flint’s lab is one-of a kind with the entrance being a sheet painted with complicated buttons. At first, I thought wow, his lab is high-tech but then he flings open the sheet. Lol! And when he does his experiments, he says aloud the action that he’s doing, like mixing!, blending! It was weird but funny. Oh well, you can expect geniuses to be some sort of weird and eccentric.
His dad doesn’t really support his ideas and is not as interested in science like Flint. He loves his sardine shop and wants Flint to help him in his shop. Flint lives in a town called Swallow Falls (I think) and the town’s main attraction is sardines. But one day, the world decides not to eat sardines anymore, Flint’s town is left eating sardines everyday. (Sardine as baby milk, sardine in soup, everything sardine!) So, Flint wants to change this and creates a machine that turns water into food. He tries to do this in his lab but there’s not enough power to power up the machine.
On the day Flint is supposed to help out in his dad’s shop (his dad went to the opening of sardine land), he sneaks out and tries to power up his food machine with the town’s big wires. He succeeds but the machine ends up being fired up into the sky. The townsfolk are all angry at him for ruining their sardine land, which I don’t really get, it looks kinda boring and digusting to me. Haha.
Flint sits at the pier, sad and is joined by Sam Sparks, a weather reporter. Sam secretly is a genius but hides it from people to get them to accept her. They exchange a few words and Flint finds himself attracted to Sam but when Sam recognizes Flint as the person who ruined her career, Flint was saved by his machine. Burgers started falling out from the sky!! At this point, I felt like eating a burger myself.
Over the few days, it rained a lot of things. Eggs, bacons, hotdogs, sushi, steak and the machine snowed ice-cream! Now, that was interesting!! On the day the machine went overboard, there was a spaghetti tornado! LOL
Then, when Flint lost the pendrive to kill the machine, he asked his dad to send an email to his phone. Sounds simple? Not to Flint’s dad who never touched a computer in his life. That was entertaining to watch. When Flint was trying to teach his dad to drag the mouse, his dad dragged the mouse across the screen. I was practically rolling on the floor, laughing.
All in all, it was an enjoyable movie. I hated the mayor but loved the town cop. He was like jumping all the time and he loved his son very much. Like all the townspeople, he doesn’t really like Flint for his inventions(this was before the food machine). There was this scene:

Cop: You see this contacts lens?
Flint: Yeah?
Cop: The contacts lens represents YOU and my eye represents MY EYE. (puts on lens) I got my ‘eye’ on you.

That was so funny! Oh, so, Flint and Sam got together in the end and Flint, who’s a total nerd doesn’t know how to kiss. So, he puffs out his cheeks and Sam, who sees this, also puffs out her cheeks and they kiss. That’s a new way to kiss! Lol!
I’m sure anyone who watched this movie will get some food cravings. For me? It was pancakes with maple syrup. Yummm. =)
