Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
This animated comedy has a lot of things going for it...
1) It has a terrific title!
2) The story is enormous fun and contains a few important moral messages, but it never becomes preachy.
3) It's very funny - with visual gags for the kids (and immature adults like me) and clever, observational humour aimed at their parents.
4) It's well cast, with great vocal performances from Bill Hader, Anna Faris, James Caan and Mr T.
5) The 3D animation is gorgeous.
6) There's a monkey called Steve!
One of those films it's impossible to dislike: a delightful, cinematic treat.
