Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs
Just saw a screening of this last night, and it was fantastic! Easily one of the funniest films I've seen in a while, great characters, and a totally original story concept. And how often are you ever going to get the chance to enjoy an ensemble cast like Bill Hader, Anna Faris, James Caan, Andy Samberg, Bruce Campbell, Mr. T, Neil Patrick Harris, and Al freakin' Roker? Anyway, highly recommended. Even the people I know who pretty much hate everything they go see loved it.

Funny. A friend of mine who works for a local paper in town saw it last week and can't stop raving about it.

Re: Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs
That's what I'm sayin'. One slightly back-handed compliment we've been hearing frequently here is that it's "the best non-Pixar animated film" reviewers have seen. And if I'm being totally honest, it's the first animated film we've put out at Sony that I think is a really fantastic movie. I liked Open Season okay, but I think you could tell it was our first film. Surf's Up, our second film (that I didn't work on at all incidentally), was beautiful looking with a few good moments, but a crap story overall in my opinion. But Cloudy, I have no real complaints about. It flows nicely to where you're constantly eager to see what'll happen next, there are big laughs throughout, the characters are super-entertaining and likable, and it looks great. And I think it'll appeal to adults more than many other animated films too, mainly because the sense of humor of Chris and Phil, the Directors, is pretty tweaked in a Cartoon Network "Adult Swim" kind of way.

So trust me on this one - you'll like it.

Re: Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs
Yee-haw! Studio expectations were for a $25-$30 million opening weekend, and we came in at $30.3. And we're carrying an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which I rarely see! I guess I'm just excited that we get to keep our jobs....

Sony's been puttin out some really excellent films lately. District 9, Julie and Julia, Moon, Taking of Pelham 123 (not a bad flick), Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and Zombieland (which is not out yet).

Re: Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs
Just saw this. I haven't enjoyed a movie this much in quite a while. The whole film has a really funny sense of humor too it. The characters are really entertaining to watch. The animation is AWESOME. The quality is really on par with Pixar.

I just have to get my friends to see it, most of them aren't interested after seeing the trailer.

Maybe try showing your friends this for it that was done with Andy Samberg. It probably gets across the humor of the movie more accurately than the actual trailer does.
