A frenetically paced film that will satisfy anyone obsessed with food, but it just didn't sit well with me. The main character is a nerdy scientist kid who feels neglected (ho hum). He invents a machine that turns water into food. He accidentally sends it into the air, where it creates "food weather". Granted, this is a cartoon, but the concept is extended to the breaking point, until we get severe food weather, including a spaghetti tornado. The Big Action Climax has our heroes fighting overgrown sentient food in the bowels of the giant food making machine. There is a budding romance, some feel-good father-son relations and a plethora of recurring gags (none of which are funny). A fast-food sugar rush for the video game generation, in 3D naturally.
