This a fantastic, lighthearted animated movie great for all ages. Flint Lockwood is an enthusiastic young boy who invents things, even though his father is not impressed with his inventions. He lives on a small island in the Atlantic that is not doing well. Flint comes up with an invention that he thinks will save the town from eating boring sardines. A machine that can makes food out of water. It was very funny throughout the whole movie. Every character was unique and funny in there own way. It’s the kind of movie that is great for young kids but teenagers and parents will still enjoy it too. I really liked his sidekick Steve. It’s a great family movie worth watching. It’s a movie you can watch more than once and still find funny. 4/5 Stars. @McRee of the Hamilton Public Library Teen Review Board The movie “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” has a child-friendly, original, and fun premise. It’s very simple: food falls out of the sky. Flint Lockwood, a scientist, invents a machine that makes it rain food! The mayor decides to use his machine to help the city, but it turns out to be a disaster. The machine goes haywire and the island is flooded with food. In the place of a natural disaster, you have a giant spaghetti tornado wreaking havoc! Overall, it is a very enjoyable movie and is great to watch with your family, especially with young kids. - @JuiceboxZ of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library This is an amazing movie. It is based around a scientist named Flint Lockwood, who builds a machine that converts water into food, and becomes a local hero when tasty treats fall from the sky like rain. But when the machine spins out of control and threatens to bury the whole world under giant mounds of food, Flint finds he may have bitten off more than he can chew. Watch the movie to find out what happens. My favourite part would have to be the scenes where Flint does all those experiments on his dad.This movie is a very sweet and funny movie. I would recommend this movie to people of all ages. Overall, this a great movie! 5/5. @TheBookWorm of the Hamilton Public Library Teen Review Board What the movie lacks in similarity with its book counterpart, it excels in wholesome family fun! So what Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs the movie is not like its book, that should not judge if it is good or not. I mean sure, it would have been nice to have some more elements of the book, like having cream cheese and jelly sandwiches rain down, or have the people of Swallow Falls find a new island, but what we got was pretty nice. Plus, there are so much good parts of the movie that the book does not have. Like Brent change from a bully to a buddy when everyone starts hatting him at the end of the movie, and protection of Flint and Sam when man eating chickens start chasing them. It was also great having the relationship between Flint and his dad throughout the movie, from the two not presenting how they feel to one another in the beginning, to them finally saying they love each other by the end of the movie. So much love there! So if you like food, and cartoons, I totally recommend Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. 4/5. @BooksRUs of the Hamilton Public Library Teen Review Board
