Back in 2009,a movie base on the book came out called Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs. It had received positive reviews and was a box office success. To be honest, I hate this movie. And today I will explain why.
The Story: The plot is not really that original, it is the same story where the guy is a loser, then he becomes famous, then the thing he did goes haywire, and now he has to fix it. The story does nothing original and its filled with clichés. But I will admit, the concept of them starting off eating sardines and then they have food falling from the sky is creative. Also I really like the father son relationship in the movie. But none of those positives of the story can not save it.
The Animation: Some positives I have with the animation is that the food animation is really good and colorful. Also the backgrounds look nice. But the terrible thing about it is the character designs and the character animation. The character designs look awful and just disgusting to look at. Also the animation is way to cartoony and over the top that is just makes it look unappealing. This makes the animation some of the worst looking animation I have ever seen in my life.
The Characters: Besides Flint, the Mayor, and Flints dad, all the characters have no purpose and are just filler. Sam is obnoxious, Baby Brent is a idiot, and the mayor is a stupid idiot. These characters can get very annoying. But, some characters can actually be likable. One being Earl, his heart is in the right place and wants to care of his son. Also Flints dad Tim Lockwood, also wants to take care of his son and just wants him to be safe. But the worst character is the protagonist himself, Flint Lockwood. Not only is he obnoxious, but the things he does is idiotic.
Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs is over-hyped and is a terrible movie with horrible writing, annoying characters, and some of the worst animation in the history of cinema.
