Product Description
INSPIRED BY THE BELOVED CHILDREN'S BOOK, THE FILM FOCUSES ON A TOWN WHERE FOOD FALLS FROM THE SKY LIKE RAIN.
Judi and Ron Barrett's Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a much-loved, whimsical book about a tiny island where food falls from the sky like rain. The book serves as a jumping-off point for Sony's animated, digital 3-D Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs which is not so much a retelling of the book as an exploration of what makes food rain from the sky on a small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Flint (Bill Hader), a clever young inventor with a reputation for creations gone awry, has recently completed a machine that he claims will turn water into food. Like his past failed inventions, Flint's new food-converting machine doesn't work as planned, and on its initial test run it ends up getting launched into the sky where clouds form and begin to rain cheeseburgers. The falling burgers destroy the Swallow Falls community's latest attempt to bolster its failing, sardine-dependent economy, but the Mayor's (Bruce Campbell) initial fury quickly turns to greedy anticipation as he begins to realize that food falling from the sky could serve as an innovative tourist draw. As the entire town is caught up re-defining itself as "Chew and Swallow," only Flint's father (James Caan) remains skeptical of his son's invention. Greed leads to some very strange weather events like spaghetti twisters and extra-giant food which, while providing a huge career opportunity for brainy weather intern Sam Sparks (Anna Faris) who's masquerading as an air-headed television personality, also threaten to destroy the town and its inhabitants. In the end, only the collaborative efforts of Flint, his father, and Sam can save the town of Chew and Swallow from certain destruction by the out of control invention. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a funny, imaginative film that's well-animated and immensely entertaining for kids and adults. Rated PG for brief mild language, but appropriate for most ages 5 and older. --Tami Horiuchi

 OK as a 3-D novelty July 29, 2010

As there is so little 3D content available, I tend to buy whatever Blu-Rays come out in 3D right now although I would probably not have bought this title otherwise. 3D effects are OK, no better or worse that others, like Monsters and Aliens, and I think the story may be a little more engaging. Nothing wrong with the movie, but not in Toy Story 3 league obviously.
 Hilarious, creative that knows no bounds. Great for all ages! July 28, 2010

I love this animation very much. The story is funny. The colors and the character designs are wonderful. I simply laugh from the beginning to the end. I would like to raise one more point here. Seldom in a movie you can find "no" static moment. In this one, even when the main characters are talking in the front, you can see some minor things "moving"/"doing something" in the back that intends to make you laugh. Mostly importantly, it makes you laugh by the actions, not by words, and therefore great for children and adults alike. It had not made any preaching explicitly, but the lesson against greed and gluttony is loud and clear. In short, highly recommended!
Love this movie July 26, 2010

My wife and I watched it last night again. It's a great movie for kids and adults!
Absolutely perfect movie, BAD SONY!! please read July 24, 2010

This movie is outstanding and should be in everyone's collection. It is a fun thrilling, touching ride. Make sure you've eaten before seeing though :) My family and I have watched this several times already and only owned it a week.
The BAD - SONY. Can't believe with all this technology you have resorted to ONLY including YOUR proprietary digital copy for PSP ONLY!! Even the other companies provide PC AND MAC versions of their digital copies (Win media / quicktime), 2 rivals. There's a reason you lack in your product offering and its because you ALWAYS do this. You separate yourself so far from everyone else to win the FORMAT war, that most of the time you LOSE.
Include your PSP format, I get that, but give us something else to use for our kids for travel! I suggest you release a free digital copy in another format for those who can show proof of purchase. I will be writing your company. This product would be 5 stars no doubt if they would have provided the standard digital formats EVERYONE else does, but plus their PSP format.
I want to recommend this movie, but I am so mad to give Sony any more money because of things like this with them....
Corny movie but it's the only 3D one available! July 22, 2010

I'm starting to feel like a guy who bought a BetaMax --- only to find out that everyone else bought a VHS.
About every other movie in the past 2 - 3 years was released in 3D and every A/V store in the country was selling 3D TV's and BluRay players --- like the ones I've got on my A/V rack and on my wall.
I really love the overall performance and picture on that 46" Samsung HD/3D LED backlit TV but "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" is not the fare of your normal american adult male --- the guys who are willing to spend that kind of money for a TV and BluRay player.
This sucks!
When are "adult" movies going to be released in 3D BluRay --- I'm not talking "porn" but something where someone might use an offensive word like "darn"!
