Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs should have never been made into a movie.

I LOVED that book! It was one of the books that helped me learn English as a kid. The movie was an utter mockery of it and I don't even know what the fuck they were thinking with the sequel.

The movie was great, so I suppose that only says good things about the books!

Huh, I didn't even know it was a book in the first place. The movies weren't half bad at all, as their own thing...
