This post dealt with the issue of classic children's books being transferred to the medium of film, so I decided to comment on it because it is an issue that I take very seriously.
I totally agree with everything you've said. I just don't think that Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs should have been made into a movie. The story doesn't really transfer well to the screen. But then again, I could probably have said the same thing about Where the Wild Things Are, but clearly when the material is put into the right hands it can work beautifully. I have yet to see either film, but Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs in not on my list of "Things I Want to Spend 10 Dollars On." Actually, very few things are on that list, but I am willing to give out the ten bucks for Where the Wild Things Are as it looks magical!

I saw the preview for meatballs and if it is representative of the movie, it isn't appetizing.
ReplyDeletewhy are you so keen on where the wild things ...is it because the guy who made it is who he is. Not sure I want to see it..
i guess meatballs was a big hit of a movie. another prediction ruined.
