"Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" is a funny and delightful picture full of imagination and surprises.
With an out-of-this-world storyline running at a hyperactive pace, you need to forgo your preconceived view of our world in order to fully enjoy this movie. Let your imagination fly, and pay close attention to details, and you'll find yourself on an unforgettable magical ride. Nerds and food lovers, this is a movie that you especially don't want to miss!
So, if you haven't seen this movie, I suggest you to go see it before reading this soon-to-be spoiler-rigged post. You can check back later to relive some outright hilarious moments from this movie if you wish.
The following is a list of memorable quotes and WTH moments that I have found painfully humorous:
1. "Engage coffee break" -came with the coolest hand gesture, a reference to Dragonball Z, perhaps?
2. "You see this contact lens, Flint Lockwood? This contact lens represent you. And my eye represents my eye. I got my EYE on YOU!"
3. "yaheeeee!" -cheered Samo, the largest sardine in the world, as he falls toward the ocean, toward a life of Freedom!! ..... then a ratbird just caught him in mid air...
4. Flint's dad showing that he has eyes; and Flint's expression before saying "I've got this under control and it's not gonna end in a disaster." - simply priceless
5. "Fight the Power" -a DJing cat. All the characters from the movie are enthralled by this WTH little clip. I have no idea why...
6. Flint to Mayor: "How did you get in here?" -Seriously, how did that Morbidly Obese mayor get into Flint's lab?
7. The pasta tornado -Flint performing a sequence of gravity-defying jumps.
8. "Hey Flint, It's been nice to beet you." "That's a RADISH!!!"
9. Manny took a stethoscope out of his bag: "He's in a food coma." #gasp# "I need a celery, STAT".
10."No School!" the children jumped with delight as their school got crushed by a giant pancake. In the next scene, a man went into a TV store and stole a TV, while the moving TV that Flint had created went into another store and stole a man...
11. "Get Flint!" "Let's Rock his car Back and Forth!!!"
12. Flint's dad using a computer...
13. The destruction of the world by food scene...
14. "Steve!" "Steve!" "Flint!" "Brent!" "Steve!" "Flint!" "Cal!" "Steve!" "Flint!" "Earl!" "Flint!" "You (macaroni guy)!.... guys" "Steve!" "Sam" "Flint" "Sam" "Flint" "Flint" "Dad" "Steve!" "Flint".... Seriously, can't they say anything else beside names?
A few disappointments
1. All of Flint's inventions turned out to be useful in one way or another, except... Hair Unbalder! If only there's a scene on that.
2. Brent... I didn't like him as a baby or as a chicken. He's just too pompous and annoying... His transfiguration was a bit too far-fetched as well.
