Cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

Went to see this movie today with my 5 year-old and it was OUTSTANDING!
It pokes fun at anti-intellectualism, religion, politicians, womens roles, lookism, disdain for science, news channels and sensationalism, food, treatment of immigrants and i could go on and on....

Take your kids, or any kids for that matter. Heck, go just to see it. Good fun!

***** (five stars)

One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

So - - does the FSM make a guest appearance to recover his meatballs? - - or would that spoil the plot?!
