Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a 2009 American computer-animated science fiction comedy film loosely based on the children’s book of the same name by Judi and Ron Barrett. Flint Lockwood is a wannabe-scientist who lives in Swallow Falls, a tiny island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean that has sardines as the base of its economy. Flint lives with Tim, his widowed technophobic father who misunderstands his son’s talent, and his pet monkey, Steve. Despite Flint’s zealous enthusiasm, his inventions, including spray-on shoes, a remote controlled television, rat birds, hair-un-balder, and a flying car, all ended in failure.
