5.0 out of 5 stars great with a chance of making you laugh a lot
Fantastic animation, wonderful story, jokes thrown in that adults will get but, of course, fun for kids too plus a voice actor cast that is perfectly cast. You'll also love the nods to some classic scenes in past movies such as the "Twilight Zone" airplane scene and the Indy Jones' heart removal scene done on a gummy bear (I'm not making this up).

The script is...

1.0 out of 5 stars Good movie but beware buying from Amazon on sale
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie at theatre and wanted to add it to my home video library for my kids. I am also building a digital library so the digital copy license is key.

The first time I received my order from Amazon, they sent the wrong copy (the Blu Ray and DVD version only). I returned the product and Amazon promptly resent my order. Unfortunately,...

Fantastic animation, wonderful story, jokes thrown in that adults will get but, of course, fun for kids too plus a voice actor cast that is perfectly cast. You'll also love the nods to some classic scenes in past movies such as the "Twilight Zone" airplane scene and the Indy Jones' heart removal scene done on a gummy bear (I'm not making this up).

The script is beyond great and Bill Hader has perfect comic pacing as the lead.

The underlying social commentary on how many Americans crave total junk as their diet is unsubtle but still it works. In a way the movie works on many levels so I'm sure with repeated viewings you'll get even more out of it.

All in all, there were so many burst-out loud laughs and little chuckles at even the throwaway lines or scenes, that it truly is one of the best comedies of the year.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie at theatre and wanted to add it to my home video library for my kids. I am also building a digital library so the digital copy license is key.

The first time I received my order from Amazon, they sent the wrong copy (the Blu Ray and DVD version only). I returned the product and Amazon promptly resent my order. Unfortunately, when I received the package, it was clearly marked with a sticker that the digital copy license had expired.

This was nowhere disclosed by Amazon in the product copy.

Beware.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and sweet, Jan 11 2013

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This movie was a nice surprise. I must say though, I was hungry at the beginning of the movie and not hungry by the end. Great premise, with the inventor who never gets it right. Voices including Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead) and Mr. T! I really enjoyed it and the animation was great.

I bought this disc to try out my Samsung DLP 3D setup. I used the PC with 3d Blu Ray software and the picture was awesome!!
Can't wait for the movies to start rolling out in this format.
As for the service, it was fantastic. The movie shipped at 8PM the day it came out and I had it the next day, FAST!(and thats by Canada Post)
Thanks Amazon

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie ... but Digital Copy is not iPod / Media Player compatible, Jan 15 2010

Excellent adaptation of a classic children's book. Quite funny and charming.

If you are purchasing this movie thinking that the digital copy will work in your portable media players be aware that it is PSP compatible only. It will not work with an iPod or player capable of playing windows media files. I was quite disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cloudy with a chance of laughter, May 30 2010
This is great for the whole family to sit and watch. Maybe a movie night or just a blah day outside.
Too cute and fun. A great twist from the book.
My children enjoyed this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Digital Copy Problems, Jun 22 2011
I bought this movie because of the included digital copy. As it says in very small print on the back of the case "A PSP digital copy of the film to transfer via your Playstation 3". If you do not have a PSP and a Playstation 3 you will not be accessing this movie on the road. I wanted to use this digital copy for my IPad - this is not possible. To add insult to injury, when I tried to transfer the digital copy to my Playstation 3 the day after the movie arrived at my home, I was told that the digital copy was expired! Why would Sony expire a digital copy?

The movie itself is very well done and funny in an offbeat sort of way. Just don't pay extra for a digital copy as it is limited to use on a PSP and is probably expired!

Anything by Phil Lord and Chris Miller is genius - major inspiration for me while I'm making my own cartoons. This movie has surpassed The Incredibles on my fave list. If you want more of this humor I recommend Clone High...
Clone High - The First Complete Season - 2 Disc Box Set
Also, the seller EmpireDVD is great. Lowest price and fast shipping.
