Critic Reviews

Ernest Hardy

Cloudy is smart, insightful on a host of relationship dynamics, and filled with fast-paced action. Read full review

Matthew Sorrento

Wise and respectful of its audience, "Cloudy" thus never stops the fun. Read full review

Rene Rodriguez

A joyful romp, devoid of the tiresome pop-culture references. Read full review

Peter Debruge

Eye-popping and mouth-watering in one, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs spins a 30-page children's book into a 90-minute all-you-can-laugh buffet. Read full review

Roger Ebert

There is clear definition between closer and further elements. I've seen a lot of 3-D recently, and in terms of technical quality, this is the best. Read full review

Nick Schager

The year’s 3-D deluge continues: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is an amusingly loopy kids’ meal about a small-town inventor. Read full review

Amy Biancolli

A dead-serious piece of activist filmmaking. Read full review

Aged 15 it was not aimed at me but this film is ultimately watchable at a very very high level.

One of my favorite movies, CWACOM provides nice humor, impressive animation, an odd but enticing story, and great character moments. Highly recommended.

I have rated one just because the 3D. The film seemed awful to my husband and I. Showing such a waste of food where nobody care, too bad for these days! The scene with the headless chickens even worse and shocking for a child. We came out of the movie feeling sick of seen so many repetitive I have rated one just because the 3D.
