This movie seems to be an utter waste of money. I remember this book, it was like 10 pages long! How are you gonna make 2 hours worth of movie from that without destroying the original plot? there was no inventor in the book. Plus, I hate the way the whole thing is animated. The character designs looks poorly drawn up.
Yes, this movie has AMAZING potential. I’m definitely going to see this movie in theaters! 
DirtyBirdy: I think it’s more or less built on the grounds of the book, but not a direct representation of it, sort of how 9 was. There was another film I was gonna use as an example, but I forgot, hehe.
ffdude: There’s tons of examples. The first that came to mind that look similar in style and theme is Horton Hears a Who. But there are lotsa others, the upcoming Fantastic Mr Fox, and long-released Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Tale of Desperaux…
Back from seeing this. A great movie, far better than I expected. It was absolutely hilarious, and overall great in every aspect. Just remember not to take it too seriously, and you’ll love it. The 3D was the best I’ve seen. SEE IT!
I just got back last night from seeing it and it was pretty good. I really enjoyed it and it was pretty funny and entertaining in 3d. I was shocked that Mr. T was in the movie… I wasn’t expecting that. He was hilarious.
Somewhat of a side note(?) on the 3d: I thought it was cute with the little kids that were sitting a few rows up from my boyfriend and I. When the Christmas Carol trailer popped up in 3d the little kids were trying to catch the snow. I wished they would have showed the Toy Story 3d trailer at my screening just so I could see how the kids would react to Jessie when she reaches out towards them with her hands. XD
Hmmm… Maybe this should become an exclusive review thread? Strange that it didn’t click with me reading this that there was another thread - because I read the other thread.
Well, I went to see this as a small birthday treat (my main treat was seeing Walking With Dinosaurs Live), and I have to say it was definitely one of the funniest animated films I’ve ever seen. Sony Animation have pulled themselves up from the ground, as I only really started to hear of them when I first watched Monster House (which I thoroughly enjoyed and regarded highly when I was at a younger age). Seeing it though, it really pulled it off. Lucky I went into the cinema hungry, because I was extra hungry when me and my friend came out 
. Eye candy yes, and it can, for definite, rise a large appetite.
I would recommend to see it personally, but of course, we all have our different opinions of the film… but so far, feedback seems to have been positive from others. I could not help but nod to your review Rare Addict
This movie reminds me of Ratatoullie… 
I don’t know if I’ll ever go out of my way to see this, but I have to say, the art style, though really out there, is incredibly appealing to me, though I can’t quite decipher why.
EDIT: I should be a tad more specific, I am referring to the character’s art style mainly, though the movie itself appears to look great as well.
I just saw Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs today, and I thought it was awesome!
It was absolutely hysterical and fun, with a lot of heart and a fun storyline.
I think everyone definitely needs to check this one out.
It’s quite possibly one of the best non-Pixar computer animated films I’ve ever seen.
Watched the movie earlier with the girlfriend…
It should really be renamed… Cloudy with guaranteed Awesomesauce
Other than a Disney/Pixar/Aardman release I’ve not laughed so hard during an Animated feature… Its bang on the money, and I am now in search of the book, so I can/could use it for the education of english in a primary school!
Its just sooo good!
Saw it the other night. Was hysterical. The guys behind Clone High really did a good job directing this one and it really benefitted from that whole trademark sense of humor they have.
Plus Bruce Campbell and Mr T were fantastic.
Mama Mia! This movie is getting rave reviews like it’s the food apocalypse!

Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs has got critics hungry for more:

I should be a spin doctor. 
TDIT: Nice. I remember you did the same thing with Coraline. 
Sorry to be so bias about this thread, but I will have to say I hated this movie. There was this one film critic who wrote something like," Cloudy with a Chance of meatballs was easily made for distracted nine year olds". I would agree. The firat half of the movie was good, but the second half was bad, and didn’t make mach sense. I would give the first half 7.5/10, and the second half 4.5/10.
I thought this film was excellent! I agree, about halfway through, it started to get a bit out there, but the first 40 minutes or so and the ending were amazing.
I really wanted to see this movie, but I’m pretty sure it’s been pulled out of our theatres by now. 
I’ve heard a LOT of great things about it, too. Unfortunately I was never really paying attention to its release date, so I probably missed my chance to see it until it comes out on DVD/Blu-ray (and the Blu-ray will probably be more fun to watch than in 3-D, IMO). Maybe it will come out for Christmas and I can add it to my already huge list of Blu-ray movies that I want.

Well, I caught it a second time, it’s so good! The soundtrack is fantastic, and Flint and Sam are just amazing characters (especially Flint, I think he’s a very relate-able character, plus he’s awesome) Took a friend as well, she LOVED it.
Definitely recommend
