Cloudy with chance of laughter
Went to see the latest 3D animated movie (this time from Sony) about an obsessive inventor and his talking monkey, who invents a machine that can turn water into food (using microwaves – not sure about the science there).
It’s an amusing movie, uses the 3D effect well (but not over the top – there’s none of those usual tricks of things falling towards the audience).
The main character is a rather pathetic and single minded, so it’s a little difficult to warm to him and his “the world doesn’t understand me” attitude, when frankly his inventions are useless.
The mayor is the closest that the movie gets to a villain, but not in the evil cast, but again in the pathetic nature.
In the real world, inhabitants of the island would have left for the mainland of America when their main employment closed down.
