Based on the bestselling children's book by Judi and Ron Barrett, this is a colourful, clever and snazzy animated romp. Flint Lockwood (voiced by Bill Hader) is a nerdy scientist whose inventions normally end in failure. But he makes his home town famous after he creates a machine that turns water into food - it accidentally gets shot into the sky, and soon it starts raining cheeseburgers. Overeager TV weathergirl Sam Sparks (Anna Faris) covers the story, and teams up with Flint when the falling food threatens to cause a disaster. The voice talents of Hader and Faris - and an unmissable turn from Mr T as the town's cop - make the characters funny and believable. There is not a wasted moment in this intelligent, surprising and entertaining visual treat, which is a family film that really will please the whole family.

Inventor Flint Lockwood creates a machine that makes clouds rain food, enabling the down-and-out citizens of Chewandswallow to feed themselves. But when the falling food reaches gargantuan proportions, Flint must scramble to avert disaster. Can he regain control of the machine and put an end to the wild weather before the town is destroyed?
