Plot Summary: 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.

If they can do "horton" they can do "cloudy" but if I were to give advice by title: get lots of popcorn.

Wow - I never thought I would be excited to see a children's movie as an adult with no kids of my own, but this was my favorite story as a child... I can't believe it's being made into a movie! I'm anxious to see how it turns out... Should be interesting, if nothing else! =)

Sounds cool, but I have to admit I'm a little more excited about seeing that Where the Wild Things Are adaptation...that is the KING of all children's books, as far as I'm concerned!
