Movie #282 ........................."Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs"

Movie #282 "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" was a delightful film that i watched witth a room full of kids --- we found it lots of fun, very creative, quick witted, and had some memorable characters (esp. "Steve") . But more importantly, the theme is a good one --- as a society we are gluttons and we don't need to be. When we get the chance to get food free from the clouds, we take it and just want more. That is a good theme, and one I found to be most effective --- I didn't want to eat dinner afterwards because I felt I had already overeaten. Good film, esp. for the kiddies.
