One of my many favorite comedies. The most absolutely hysterical animated film in recent memory and the hardest I've laughed at one since the Beavis and Butt-head movie. It's a little overlong and the two main characters are a little bland, but every other character is comedic gold, the food-related disasters are amazingly creative and the amount of gags, both visual and verbal, are overwhelming in the best way possible. I swear to Christ, if there's a more hilariously written, directed and animated recent film, I'll punch myself in the teeth.

Sony Imageworks' animated features as now are definitely not the best in town, but "Meatballs"' zany exaggerated animation, a "UPA in CGI"-type design motifs and comedic timing do present bright possibilities for future films (currently hopeful for Tartakovsky's "Hotel Transylvania" even with Adam Sandler.) Though I'm probably the only one who thinks it tries a little too hard by the end with the mutant superfood.
