Once fans of the book reset their expectations, they'll laugh at the sight of a Neapolitan-ice-cream snowfall or a drizzle of steak falling onto diners' plates at a trendy, roofless restaurant. The movie's plot is very different than the book's, so those expecting a straight adaptation may be disappointed. Although no grand life lessons are offered, the movie does center on a son's need for fatherly encouragement and the idea that you shouldn't compromise who you are just to be popular. While there's nothing overtly age-inappropriate in the movie, expect a bit of salty language along the lines of "hell" and and the occasional mild insult like "stupid" or "knuckle scrapers." The few tense/slightly scary scenes are weather- and giant food-related - which could upset little kids who are sensitive to fears about natural disasters - and there's a brewing romance between the main character and a weather reporter. Parents need to know that this adaptation of the classic children's book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is bound to attract the 10-and-under set. Mild insults and language include "hell hole," "knuckle scrapers," "crazy jerk," "stupid," etc.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content?
