Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009)

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller take the book's idea of food falling from the sky and find a comic reason for it: an inventor who can't resist making his machine do a little more. That makes the changing weather an escalating visual joke, from edible showers to absurdly oversized meals. Pick this when you want the film to run with a premise far beyond what would fit on the page.
