A complete and utter surprise. It's so easy to get lazy with animated films, even more so when those films are designed for 3D. It's with a great big smile as ridiculous as the film itself, that I can announce Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, to be one of the most hilarious films in recent memory. For laugh out loud moments it beats such brilliance as Up!, even if it does rely on it's ridiculous plot to see us through. The voice cast is fantastic, with Neil Patrick Harris excelling as a monkey that just shouts a few words. Luckily, each of those words has the comical impact of a meteorite. It was fun, entertaining and even left me having to catch up with the jokes at certain parts.
