Originally a story by Judi Barnett, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is the story of a small town in the middle of nowhere which eventually has the very basic issue of it is raining food from the sky.
The movie adaptation of this book, however, strays a bit (at least to directly knowledge) from the original story. While its a great film (And can technically be seen in 3D) just don't expect it to be that story you remember as a kid.
Grab your plates! In the land of Chewandswallow, meals – rather than rain or snow – fall from the sky. But something goes awry: the food falling from the sky gets larger and larger, causing the residents to make an escape before being squashed by giant pancakes or rolls. Will they cope with the natural disaster or be forced to make a run for it? (From Carol's Notebook)
