Synopsis

In 2009, Columbia Pictures' and Sony Pictures Animation's Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs will be the most delicious event since macaroni met cheese. Inspired by the beloved children's book, the film focuses on a town where food falls from the sky like rain.

Bill Hader, star of Saturday Night Live and Night of the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, will voice Flint Lockwood, a young inventor who dreams of creating something that will improve everyone's life. Anna Faris, who recently turned heads as the star of the comedy hit The House Bunny, takes on the role of Sam Sparks, a weathergirl covering the phenomenon who hides her intelligence behind a perky exterior. James Caan plays Tim Lockwood, Flint's technophobic father. Andy Samberg plays Brent, the town bully who has plagued Flint since childhood. Bruce Campbell plays Mayor Shelbourne, who figures out that Flint's invention can put the town, and more importantly himself, on the map and Mr. T plays the by-the-rules town cop Earl Devereaux.

It isn’t entirely clear why Sony Animation would choose to go this way with any pre-release ads, as barely anything new is shown, and it seems to serve only as a vehicle for and even more terrible food puns. Did I say terrible? Because “fruit cockatiel” makes me laugh. Exactly once,...

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs Sequel Gets A Title

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs Sequel Gets A Title

Unlike Journey 2, what will help sell this film is that the style will likely stay consistent and the characters will return (up-and-comer as he may be, Josh Hutcherson isn't a real household name yet. Expect that to change with The Hunger Games). With that in mind, Cloudy 2: Revenge of the Leftovers is actually a pretty cool title, as it both links back to the first film and gives us an idea of what the new movie will be about in a clever way....
