The movie is really good, but has very little in common with the book...I mean, other than raining food. I read the book all the time when I was younger too. That and this book about math word problems with a girl as the main character. I'm still trying to remember what it's called. One bit was about how the dad told the daughter to always listen to the mother, but the mother told her that the dad always lies. That blew my mind.
oh shit, it was called Math Curse. Looking up the guy who made it, I had other books of his too like The True Story of the Three Little Pigs and the Stinky Cheese Man.
