Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs

Top positive review

Amazing. There are no words. Except the ones I provided below.

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2017

I feel it's common courtesy as a reviewer to establish credibility before getting started.

I have seen A Bug's Life upwards of 20 times, wrote my college essay about Finding Nemo and was promptly waitlisted at every Ivy Leauge institution (not denied!), and have extensively researched all YahooAnswer responses to "what's the relationship between Disney & Pixar."

I can say without a doubt that Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is the best animated movie of all time. It will meet and exceed all your expectations of plot complexity and subtle humor. Understanding this quiet interjection of ingenious comedy will absolutely reaffirm your opinion of yourself as a wildly perceptive audience member.

Like walking out of a restaurant so satisfied, I envy your position as a fresh customer about to devour the beauty that is this film.

Would not recommend

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2020

There are several scenes where a grown man is in his underwear, practically nude. There is also a really awkward scene where two people are about to kiss. It is so overdrawn and climaxed. It is uncomfortable and not appropriate for a children's movie. I would not recommend if you are religious and have standards for your children and what they watch.

Once again a new movie without a digital code. I really depend on these codes being a traveler on business. And it really pisses me off when I open the case and there’s no code. Especially when it’s not specified!!! Can I exchange it for one with a digital code insert? Or even get it free? Cut me some kind of a break? Please!?! And you guys suck at reading my reviews dammit!!!!

They LOVE the original book

My kids were not very impressed with this movie. They LOVE the original book, and we were excited to rent the movie for them when it came out. However, the movie seems only very loosely based on the book which was a big disappointment to us. It also is geared towards an older age group than the book is.

Not worth my time. We happened to see Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2 previously and liked that movie. This one was disappointing.

Sucked. Didn't care about the characters, plot was confusing, the whole thing was a big mess. Animation not bad. Just a shame it hadn't been put together better.

Movie's great, but Sony's Digital Copy is B.S.. .

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2011

Nothing against the movie, it's great and funny. My beef is with Sony's Digital Copy. It's not mentioned anywhere (except from other review) that the digital copy requires Sony's PSP format. In fact, this is ONLY mentioned in 6 point fine print on the back of the label. So if you're like me that don't have a PSP and was expecting to watch this on iTunes (really, was expecting to transfer this to my iPad so my kids can watch it) or Window Media, forget it!
