Consider me shocked that Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is not only a good kids film, but a great comedy in general. The first film from former How I Met Your Mother and Clone High writer/producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller, Cloudy manages to take the premise from the classic children’s book and transform it into a madcap comedy that proudly displays a unique sense of humor.
It works as a kids film because it remains lighthearted throughout, while also conveying some worthwhile messages about sticking with your dreams and passions—but it also works as a great comedy for adults with subtly mature humor, and a perfectly chosen cast. And somehow, along with everything else the film has going for it, Cloudy also manages to be a brilliant parody of the disaster film genre.
