Reviews:
Roger Ebert: “Above Average I've seen a lot of 3-D recently, and in terms of technical quality, this is the best.”
USA Today: “Good Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is a surprisngly savory treat, though it doesn't bear much resemblance to the charming classic children's book on which it's based.”
Newsday: “Good Clever and zippy, with some nutritional value hidden in the fun.”
Chicago Tribune: “Above Average Crazy doesn’t always equal funny, and the gigantism of this 3-D offering’s second half puts a damper on your enjoyment. But look: This film wasn’t made for you, or me. It was made for dangerously easily distracted 9-year-olds.”
