L.A. Weekly
Cloudy is smart, insightful on a host of relationship dynamics, and filled with fast-paced action. - 78
Austin Chronicle
The sights are ingenious, impressively rendered in 3-D, and the sounds – including cheeky voice work by Mr. T, Neil Patrick Harris, and Benjamin Bratt – are a blast. - 75
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The film combines a pinch of morality with a healthy dose of humor to produce a movie that's entertaining for everyone. - 75
Miami Herald
A joyful romp, devoid of the tiresome pop-culture references. - 75
The A.V. Club
It’s a brisk, bright, winning effort, even though it already looks sadly out of touch with the times. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
The splashy animation is well-executed but again a bit monotonous for a full-length feature. - 70
Variety
Eye-popping and mouth-watering in one, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs spins a 30-page children's book into a 90-minute all-you-can-laugh buffet. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
Goes down easy enough at first. But even at a svelte 81 minutes, this meal drags on too long.
