Cloudy With A Chance of MeatballsOriginally, CWACOM wasn’t going to make this marathon. But Mercy and I were talking about what movie to watch and we both agreed that this was the best for today. Wow, how I love this film. It is just so fun.
Technical—5/5—Nothing jaw-dropping, but still marvelous animation, visually interesting and great voice acting.
Interest—5/5—Every moment is filled with humor, most of it laugh-out-loud.
Tension—3/5—Not really. But it was fun.
Emotional—3/5—It’s not emotional. Just fun.
Characters—4/5—The characters are well plotted and well acted. Generally shallow, but fun.
Theme—4/5—No deep themes, here. You got the father/son thing. You got the listen to the woman thing. You got the slow down and take precautions thing. But mostly, it’s just about the fun.
STEVE!!Ethics—4/5—Actually, there’s an ethical message about old traditions and new traditions and balancing them. But really, it’s about the fun.
Personal—3/5—I suppose I can understand the lack of communication with a father. But, really, its all about the fun.
Look, there’s nothing deep here. It’s not a movie for the ages. But it is great fun. And sometimes—heck, more than sometimes—fun is enough.
