No Raining on “Cloudy” Parade
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs opened with a large following, with quite an adult following. Even during its second week, albeit it did take a slight dip in sales, “Cloudy” held on fairly strong with its box office sales.
As seems to be the case these days with movies from Pixar and Disney, the “cartoon/animated” movie is continuing to slowly cater to the adult viewer with its quips and adult humor while still being suitable for the younger crowd. This, along with the appealing story line, may be the reason that Cloudy is still going strong. Movies such as “Cloudy”, “Wall-E” and “Up” were created to satisfy the younger child’s intelligence and keep them thoroughly entertained, while its actually story lines were created for adults to keep us entertained (although these movies tend to make us wish for younger days).
What adult watching this movie will not step back for a minute reminiscing of their days in elementary school where food fights were all the rage — until the Principal came by and ruined everything? We will get this humor from Cloudy, and hopefully it will be a bit over our children’s heads so that we do not have to explain later what childish antics we participated in when we were that age. Then, again, their laughter may make our visual just that much more pleasurable.
Even for the die-hard tough, action-driving, guts spilling movie lover this movie is sure to be entertaining to all, sans children, if you are so bold.
