It’s finally here! Tomorrow is the release date for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs on Blu-ray and DVD. It’s a great addition to your home movie library, perfect for family movie nights and a great purchase to make with the gift cards you or your children received over the holidays.
When Flint Lockwood’s (Bill Hader) latest contraption accidentally destroys the town square and rockets up into the clouds, he thinks his inventing career is over. Then something amazing happens as delicious cheeseburgers start raining from the sky. His machine actually works!
But when people greedily ask for more and more food, the machine starts to run amok, unleashing spaghetti tornadoes and giant meatballs that threaten the world! Now it’s up to Flint, with the help of weather girl Sam Sparks (Anna Faris) and Steve, his talking monkey assistant, to find some way to shut down the machine before the world is covered in super-sized meatballs!
With some of the delightful food that starts falling from the sky, you might find yourself reminded of these lyrics from a fun children’s song: “If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops, oh what a rain that would be. I’d stand outside with my mouth open wide.”
Of course my favorite verse in that song has to do with the sunbeams being bubblegum and ice cream, which is why I love this clip from the movie:
Do you want to see some more? You can check out the first six minutes of the movie at Yahoo! Kids.
To celebrate the release of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Sony has a special sweepstakes that you can enter right now. The grand prize is a trip for a family of four (4) to winner’s choice of any Delta Vacations destination within the contiguous Unites States (excluding Hawaii and Alaska). Head over here to enter.
But that’s not all, we also have a little something for one lucky reader. Our prize package consists of one rat-bird stuffed animal and a copy of the book, “The Art and Making of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.” Together the package is a $60 value.
To enter please leave a comment below. As always, you can earn even more entries: subscribe to our Feed, sign up for our 5M4M Newsletter, add our 5M4Giveaways button in your sidebar, write a post and link back to this contest on your blog, and spread the word via Twitter or email!

As soon as my son saw a trailer for this movie, he HAD to HAD to go!!! Every time the trailer came on, he would say, “Mom, I REALLY want to see that movie”. The week that it was scheduled to come out, my middle daughter called me and said that she was taking her children to see it, could she take her brother too? I HAPPILY said yes, and they all went and enjoyed it thoroughly.
This looks like a fun movie. Very different from the other movies out now.
My kiddos and I have been wanting to see the movie
We rent this this weekend.
