They’re funny, smart, and as sweet as maple syrup. There’s kind of been a weird revolving door thing wherein one of the two movies based on the beloved book Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is available on a streaming service (usually the second one), but it looks like the stars have finally aligned: Both movies and the TV series are on Netflix now! Watch ‘em while you can. It’s a clever and funny film, anchored by a smart mo-cap performance from Mark Rylance as the title character, the Big Friendly Giant. Steven Spielberg directed an adaptation of the Roald Dahl book back in 2016 and it didn’t get the critical or commercial attention it deserved. Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston, and Christopher Lloyd leas the creepiest family in town, although the movie is arguably stolen by Joan Cusack as a serial killer who married Uncle Fester. Forget those recent animated movies and go back to the original franchise, especially the 1993 sequel by Barry Sonnenfeld that’s weirder and even better than the first movie.
