Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs arrives with very little fanfare and what advertising there is seems aimed at the younger audience. This is a shame as this is a very funny animated film which both adults and children alike will enjoy. Based on the book of the same name Cloudy concerns would be inventor Flint and his latest project, which, through an accident, ends up raining various food stuffs from the sky. As the chow thunders down we are treated to some excellent animation and visual gags. The first half of this film is very funny with some genuine laugh out loud moments. Though the humour is quite dry at times and some jokes will no doubt go over the little ones heads. However, they are compensated for in the films final act which reverts to classic chase / race against the clock animation standard. With a great vocal cast and some Pixar worthy scenes, and despite running out of steam towards the end, this is a bright, breezy and enjoyable film.
The OC Film Sting Final Verdict
A film of two half’s. The first for adults, the second for kids. Combined together they make a tasty treat. Rating: 7/10.
