Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
[gallery link="file"]
The 3D animated comedy Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs has a lot of super-sized fun with the premise, from a 1978 children's book by Judi and Ron Barrett, but it also takes after Pixar's Wall·E as a witty parable about excess consumption. A killer script is its trump card: as a food storm brews on the horizon, it's hard to resist the line, "That spaghetti twister is just an amuse bouche compared to what's on the way."
Much to his surprise, and that of visiting weathergirl and potential love interest Sam Sparks (voiced ...

The character in the movie is played by Anne Hathaway. “There’s this very beautiful cooking show host in England named Nigella Lawson and I quietly had her as my image for this character,” Burton said. “She’s really beautiful and she does all this cooking, but then there’s this glint in her eye and when you see it you go, ‘Oh, whoa, she’s like really … nuts.’ I mean in a good way. Well, maybe. I don’t know.”

What’s beautiful about the movie is that it takes everything ordinary and turns it into extraordinary. Lots of rituals, beliefs, animals, plants and landscape exist in reality and are recognizable in the movie, but they’ve been made into truly magical elements.
The overarching story could become preachy at times, and there are many subtexts you can indulge in (terrorism, invasion of other countries, colonialism, the whole mother Earth narrative), however, the face-value story isn’t something that has not been done before, even the tribal wars and the inter-species love stories. What accentuates the typical, however, is the immersive magical world that makes everything endearing and breathtaking. As for the acting – thankfully most of the movie focuses on the animated Navi, which animated beautifully, and the human counterparts do a pretty good job, with Sigourney Weaver throwing in dry humor here and there typical of her Alien experience. Worthington’s Terminator experience helped with the grunt work too.
