History YMMV / CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome: Flint throughout the film. He narrates all of his action scenes.
* WTHCastingAgency: Where else are you going to find AnnaFaris as a [[spoiler: brainy]] weather girl in a movie with an amazingly cast Creator/MrT and an almost unnoticeable NeilPatrickHarris?

** And although it predates the film by several decades, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_v468ptuXw "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows"]] does have a tendency to get stuck in one's head after seeing the movie.

* EarWorm: ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwOFeBDp5qA It's raining sunshine... it's raining sunshiiiiine...]]'' as sung by MirandaCosgrove.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: "STEVE!"
* EsotericHappyEnding: Subverted. [[spoiler: You would think that the destruction still on several places, mainly the tourist attraction areas, might be this, but they dealt with this in the end credits.]]

* NightmareFuel: Particularly during the third act, when the food machine goes haywire. [[spoiler:The food machine gets covered in a [[EldritchAbomination gigantic "meatball"]], and the heroes have to travel inwards through the chasms of mutated food a la ''Armageddon'' to defeat the machine.]] The Mayor's obesity also applies, to many.

* {{Expy}}: Compare Flint to [[ABugsLife Flik]]. They even have similar names.

* UglyCute: The ratbirds

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The theme ''Raining Sunshine'' sung by MirandaCosgrove. It also has a [[AlternativeForeignThemeSong different Japanese]] theme [[http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTIyNTQyODg4.html song]].

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: At the beginning of the book, Grandpa accidently flips a pancake right onto his grandson Henry's head.

* EsotericHappyEnding: Subverted [[spoiler: You would think that the destruction still on several places, mainly the tourist attraction areas, might be this, but they dealt with this in the end credits.]]

* NauseaFuel: If one and a half hour of ''food'' doesn't eventually make you feel sick to the stomach, the mayor will.

*** [[spoiler: Who then proceeds to re-position himself inside the presumably live roast chicken and ''wear it as a suit''.]]

** [[spoiler: The opening scene is pretty heartbreaking...]]

*** Definitely YMMV - this troper couldn't stop laughing at that line!

* UncannyValley: Of food, amazingly enough. It's very detailed, but it's strange to see it so big.

* EarWorm: ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwOFeBDp5qA It's raining sunshine... it's raining sunshiiiiine...]]'' as sung by MirandaCosgrove. YourMileageMayVary, but seriously...

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The theme ''Raining Sunshine'' sung by MirandaCosgrove.

* AmbiguouslyAutistic: Many people believe Flint Lockwood to be this. Check the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WMG/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs Wild Mass Guessing page]] for more info.

* Moe: Sam.

* MissedMomentOfAwesome: Almost forgivable since it's a kid's movie, but tell me you didn't want to see Flint and Sam share a ''real'' kiss?
** They do share a small kiss during the end credits animation.
** Was expecting a touching scene when Flint's dad enters Flint's lab where by he starts to really appreciate his son's brilliance and realises how much he just wants to impress him. Got a load of computer dummy jokes instead.
** Even that could have been saved. Tell me you didn't want Flint to guide his father through it by using fishing metaphors.

* {{Narm}}: Flint's face when it starts raining food, not to mention his gasp.
** And the scene where Flint takes his father to the Roofless. It's a sad and serious scene, but you can help but laugh when the steak lands on Flint's head...
*** Judging by the commentary, this was intentional.

* EarWorm: ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwOFeBDp5qA It's raining sunshine... it's raining sunshiiiiine...]]'' as sung by MirandaCosgrove. YourMileageMayVary, but good lord...
