The movie is loosely based on the children’s book of the same name. The film is also released in 3D in selected cinemas.

SPOILER WARNING: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The film revolves around Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader) who loves to invent things. His first invention, Spray-on Shoes confined his feet for life. While his mother encourages him despite his failure, his dad just wants him to work in his fishing shop. His mom passed away later on, leaving his dad to take care of him in a small town called Swallow Falls.

Flint eventually creates a device called ‘FLDSMDFR’ (Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator), which turns water into food but the machine doesn’t have enough electricity. He and his pet monkey Steve (Neil Patrick Harris) who communicates through a translator device try to power up the machine using the power station but he causes havoc around the town including destroying a new theme park called Sardin Land. When Flint bumps into Sam Sparks (Anna Faris), a weather intern who is there to cover the event, the sky starts to rain cheeseburger. Before long, the town is filled with cheeseburger.

Flint later on, can create rain for any food the townsfolk want, including ice cream for the town’s cop, Earl’s, (Mr. T) son’s birthday and giant Jell-O mold for Sam. Greediness turns the town’s mayor into rain giant-sized food and causes the world in total chaos.

Although the movie is entertaining albeit the crazy jokes, the 3D version does little wonder with limited scenes especially in the second half of the film.

Overall, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 3D is funny but it’s rather disappointing if you are an adult. It’s mostly cloudy and not sunny side up.
