Stars: Bill Hader, Anna Faris (voices)
I had wanted to watch this for a while, but had never been massively concerned as I didn't necessarily believe it was going to be that good. Until about a week ago, when, for some reason, I decided that it had gotten really good reviews and was going to be a fun movie to watch.
What a let-down the actual movie turned out to be. It's all about Flint Lockwood (Hader), a boy who figures out how to get food to fall from the sky instead of rain. Which is, for some highly convoluted reasons, a good thing (at first at least, anyway). The film also makes a number of attempts at humour. If you were five, they would probably be quite funny jokes. Sadly, I'm not five.
Possibly I might think of this as a better movie if I had children of the right age who enjoyed it, but it just doesn't compete with the best animated movies out there. It was only a week or so ago I watched Finding Nemo, but I spent the majority of this movie wishing I had just put that film on again instead.
Rating: 2 out of 5
