Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, the movie

They're making an animated movie of my favorite book from childhood, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

"It's actually only loosely -- very, very loosely -- based on the book," Faris explained. "But it's about a small town that rains food, basically. So hamburgers come down, and ice cream, and [the residents] have to figure out a way [stop it]. Eventually, it gets more and more dangerous, and they have to figure out a way to stop the satellite machine that's raining food."

It stars Andy Samberg and Anna Faris. I'm prepared to be *very* disappointed. (thx, kimberly)
