Imagine a world where it rains food from the sky. Imagine a world where nobody goes hungry. Imagine no more. Flint Lockwood has invented a machine that converts water into food. By accidentally shooting his machine into the sky, he now has the power to make it precipitate in all the glorious food types.
Cloudy with a chance of meat balls is an action packed comedy that will have you laughing and crying with our anti-hero, Flint. Mixing his awkward ways with a dad who can’t express his true feelings has made him the annoyance of the town, until now.
Bill Hader shines as the ditsy nerd struggling to fit in, and make his introverted father (James Caan) happy. Mr. T, however, has to be the standout character in this film. Playing the town’s super cop, he must join forces with Flint to save the day when things predictably go wrong.
Sony Pictures have managed to bring out some beautiful animation in a fun loving story that will have family goers gaga, and leave them rather hungry in the end.

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.
