Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
By: Nicole Westley
Have you ever wished food would simply fall from the sky? Is it a dream of yours to have a slice of pizza fall to your plate at the slightest sign of an appetite? Think again! Here is a task for you; take a trip to the movies, sit back in that comfy theater chair, put on those attractive 3-D glasses, and view Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. All your previous fantasies will be reevaluated. Inspired by the much-loved children’s book, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is said to be the best thing since macaroni met cheese. Flint Lockwood is insistent on his efforts to invent something, anything! Although his first invention, spray on shoes, was a failed attempt because of the lack of removal, he continued trial runs of numerous other products concluding in the plot of this film. The amateur inventor unintentionally creates food-flavored weather when his newest device launches itself into the sky and begins turning clouds into cheeseburgers. What started as a much celebrated accomplishment soon turned to a terror for the town. An over production of food sent meatballs the size of a house onto the citizens of Chewandswallow. Flint Lockwood and news reporter Sam, who also takes on the title of Flints’ current crush, race to save the town by heading off into the spaghetti tornado. Can they get there in time to save the town or will the town of Chewandswallow be destroyed?
