Loved Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs! I didn’t know it was based on a book until I saw the movie! According to Wikipedia:

The book is about two children who listen to their Grandpa Henry tell the story of the town of Chewandswallow, where the weather comes three times a day, at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and is always food and beverages. The rain is juice and soup, the snow is mashed potatoes, and the wind brings hamburgers. Because of this phenomenon, there are no grocery stores or restaurants. However, when floods and storms of giant food come, the population is forced to leave Chewandswallow on boats made of bread, and adapt to their new lives in our world where the sky doesn’t feed you.

Well I can tell you that the movie adaptation is a little different.

See for yourself! I’d give it 4 out of 5 yes…probably because it’s all about FOOD!
