Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs/YMMV

"Mayor: "Everybody is going to love these new portion sizes." *shoves a giant hot dog into his mouth* "I know I do.""
 * Crazy Awesome: Earl. And you know, arguably Manny(?). But, you know, mostly Earl.
 * Crosses the Line Twice: Flint's already in his Corner of Woe when Sam kicks him in both eyes. Of course it'll be funny.
 * Meta-example - the climax of the movie if you're familiar with The Day After Tomorrow or 2012.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: At the beginning of the book, Grandpa accidentally flips a pancake right onto his grandson Henry's head.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: The theme Raining Sunshine sung by Miranda Cosgrove. It also has a different Japanese theme song.
 * The music that plays when Flint is building his machine for the first time, before it blows up.
 * Does This Remind You of Anything: Swallow Falls seems to be based off of Flint, Michigan.
 * Ear Worm: It's raining sunshine... it's raining sunshiiiiine... as sung by Miranda Cosgrove.
 * And although it predates the film by several decades, "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows" does have a tendency to get stuck in one's head after seeing the movie.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: "STEVE!"
 * Esoteric Happy Ending: Subverted.
 * Expy: Compare Flint to Flik. They even have similar names.
 * Flint also looks a little bit like Stu Pickles. And both are inventors.
 * Fan Disservice: Brent, when stripping. Also, he has quite a bit of jiggling in the car.
 * First Installment Wins: Readers of the second book, Pickles to Pittsburgh, don't think of it as highly as they do the first.
 * Freud Was Right: The FLDSMDFR inside
 * Moe: Sam.
 * Nausea Fuel: If 90 minutes of food doesn't eventually make you feel sick to the stomach, the mayor will.
 * Nausea Fuel: If 90 minutes of food doesn't eventually make you feel sick to the stomach, the mayor will.


 * Speaking of which, the obese version of the Mayor is constantly glistening with sweat.
 * Nightmare Fuel: Particularly during the third act, when the food machine goes haywire. The Mayor's obesity also applies, to many.
 * Also,
 * And that's to say nothing of
 * YMMV, but...the entire movie.
 * Tear Jerker: Three words.
 * The opening scene is pretty heartbreaking.
 * The opening scene is pretty heartbreaking.


 * Flint's father solemnly grinding sardines into chum, because he doesn't know what else to do.
 * Ugly Cute: The ratbirds
 * Uncanny Valley: Of food, amazingly enough. It's very detailed, but it's strange to see it so big.
 * Unnecessary Makeover: Inverted.  Plays straight, though, as Flint is more attracted to her after the change.
 * Visual Effects of Awesome: Admit it. You might not see it the first time you see the movie, but you will eventually realize how real some of that stuff looks.
 * What an Idiot: The Mayor.
 * What Do You Mean Its Not Awesome: Flint throughout the film. He narrates all of his action scenes.
 * WTH Casting Agency: Where else are you going to find Anna Faris as a  weather girl in a movie with an amazingly cast Mr. T and an almost unnoticeable Neil Patrick Harris?
