Hey guys, I’m really sorry I didn’t get around to putting up a full review of “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”, but things just got far too crazy this weekend.
But let me kill two birds with one stone here. “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” just became the third biggest September boxoffice opening of all time (just behind Sweet Home Alabama and Rush Hour). It also needs to be mentioned that this movie deserves every ounce of success it manages to get.
I’m not normally excited about non-pixar animated movies, and I wasn’t excited about seeing this one either… but holy crap… it’s fantastic.
No, the movie doesn’t have anywhere near the depth or heart that a Pixar film has… it pretty much stays in shallower waters, and it’s ok with that. But what it does do is ENTERTAIN you. Seriously… this movie is a light, giddy treat. So many funny moments. Me and the people who saw it with me have been quoting it all weekend.
Mr. T. does one of the key voices in the movie… and is HILARIOUS.
The bottom line is I LOVE this movie. It’s very simple, very light, but it makes you smile and giggle the whole way through, and for that, I ended up very much appreciating it for what it was. Go see it… seriously… go see it.
