Movie Review - Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

We watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs last night. Let me start this off by telling you how much I loved this book when I was younger, one of my all time favorites. So when I saw that the movie was coming out I was excited UNTIL I saw how extremely different the story was going to be. I was turned off by it and didn't think I would like it but I was wrong! It was wonderfully cute, the voice acting was spot on and it was cartoony (didn't try and be too realistic). They added enough back story to make the changes to the real story work. It is very difficult to make a book with probably less than 20 pages into a full length movie and a lot of the time it doesn't really work out but this isn't one of those, it really did work. I would definitely recommend renting it, probably not a buy unless you have kids (kids would love it) but still a nice light hearted fun movie!
