Sony Animation has created 4 films now and are starting to become a competitive force in the animation world. Their latest, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, is a fine film, though just barely able to stand out of the gigantic animation film crowd.
Flint Lockwood is an inventor. However, he can't make a good machine. That all changes when he makes a machine that converts water into food. However, too much food starts falling and a disaster of giant portions...er, proportions, begins...
The film has many humorous moments and I really liked the monkey. He's voiced by master of Awards Shows Neil Patrick Harris, but it still feels funny. James Caan and Bill Hader are also nice and it's brilliant to see Bruce Campbell again, though like David Cross in Alvin and The Chipmunks 2, you wish he'd do better stuff.
The animation is also nice. The main flaw of the film is it's just a bit too short and breezy to be really grand. Also, emotion just dosen't come through as well as even in 9. Still, the film does have many funny moments, some hillarious, but it's good for the kids and enjoyable enough for everyone else.
