Bruce Campbell, Neil Patrick Harris _and_ Mr T!*

Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs was awe...wait for it...some!

Incredibly geeky, completely ridiculously silly, full of childlike wonder, and amazingly good fun.

Plus a reference to Shatner's Twilight Zone episode done with Gummy Bears and a cyborg monkey...

I know! And an original Atari joystick at one point!

Yes, yes it was. Did you see it in 3D?

PLUS, the 'But Miss Smith...' scene was about as clever a piece of counter-cultural weaponry as I've seen. :)

Beats crap like Shrek into a cocked hat.

Saw it at home, so not in 3D.

And I love Shrek, but in a different way.

The 3D weather attacks were fun.

Shrek just pisses me off. It's cheap flimflam with lazy jokes and no message I'd want to impart to kids.

But it's Friday. Let's talk about how The Iron Giant and Wall*E are lovely.

I love The Iron Giant. I must dig out my copy and make Julie watch it.

Yes. But. I've seen a lot more guys cry at the end than girls.

I don't think they get it.

Almost forgot: the final translator scene? Brilliant. Did not see that coming.

[andrewducker]

YES! That was brilliant!

I cried.

This movie needs more love. The DNA of water? Love it.

[andrewducker]

Yes - the science was such wonderful balderdash that you had to adore it.
