WHERE WERE THE MEATBALLS?

But seriously, where were they?

That’s my first question for Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who wrote and directed this children’s book adaptation that fortunately does not stick to the original content. It takes Judi and Ron Barrett’s interesting idea and sticks it own interesting POV: Flint Lockwood.

Where are…the meatballs? I find it interesting to see why they didn’t have any meatballs in the movie until the very end. Maybe that was on purpose. But the golden grail for the protagonist’s goal was not spaghetti and meatballs. His initial hope to take water and make food is to make cheeseburgers.

Let’s talk about that Cheeseburger. You know the one. When Flint and Sam are on the dock, and she’s just found out that he was the creator of the rocket (she didn’t know what the machine was). Then some curious things happened. A pickle fell into the ocean, some cheese fell into the trashcan. From the SKY.
