Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs:

Saw the 3-D version...

If you are a huge fan of the book, you may not appreciate the movie. It's kindof a prequel to the book, detailing how the town of Chewandswallow became. It starts out with a different name, and we learn about how the food started raining. It picks up where the book starts, sans grandpa and the kids. It is modernized, does not take place in the same time period as the book. IMO I really didn't need the prequel stuff, but I realizes there is not enough substance to the book itself to make a full length movie. Just like Polar Express, Jumanji, and others before it they had to take some liberties.

Overall, it was cute if taken for itself. I don't know how Jules went to see it during a fast. We ate before we went, ate popcorn throughout, and still wanted to eat when we got out of the movie.
