Whereas the book had one speaking character and a loose narrative, the film introduces new main characters, and explains the origins of the unusual weather in the town of Chewandswallow.

Plot

A scientist (voiced by Bill Hader) has spent his entire life creating inventions that were unwanted or faulty. Finally while trying to solve world hunger he develops a method to directly convert water into food and releases the effects on the world. Hunger is eliminated as weather delivers food, but a problem of global proportions soon evolves, as the food weather gets out of control.

Co-writers and co-directors Philip Lord and Chris Miller say that it will be a homage to and parody of disaster movies such as Twister, Armageddon, Independence Day, and The Day After Tomorrow.
