I recently attended the Taste Film showing of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and unfortunately came away very disappointed.
To start with, the film was shown on a surprisingly small screen, which immediately took away from the cinema experience. The interactions and activities before the film began felt very forced and awkward rather than fun or immersive.
The food was a mixed bag. The fries served as a starter were actually quite good. The burger also tasted nice, but for the price paid, I expected much more. The burger patty was tiny – about the size of a 50p coin – which felt poor value for money.
The biggest disappointment was the meatballs, which were seemingly intended to be the main highlight of the experience. They were genuinely terrible. The quality was so poor that I wouldn't have been surprised if they had come straight from a cheap microwave meal.
The dessert was equally disappointing. I'm still not entirely sure what it was supposed to be, but it was unpleasant and left unfinished.
The cocktail was probably the best part of the evening, but even then, considering the overall cost of the event, it didn't feel worth it.
Overall, this was an overpriced and underwhelming experience. The concept is great, but the execution fell far short of expectations. I left feeling like I had paid a premium price for mediocre food and a lacklustre experience.
