Up Review

UP

Thanks Pixar for making me boo-hoo within the first 10 minutes of your great little tear-jerk-er Up.  I sat down late one night and threw this into the player and began to watch and really soak up all what this movie had to offer.  Come to find out this is one of my favorite Pixar movies ever made.  Not as good as The Incredibles, but way better than Ratatouille.  

Even though the main character is an elderly man who doesn’t look very engaging, he turns out to be very charming while even throwing in all of the usual “old folks” jokes along the way.  I will be honest and say the kiddos have not watched it yet.  From what I saw though, Up really balances out the movie to where children and adults can enjoy their movie watching experience with things that appeal to all age groups.  The disc also has tons of special features that are very extensive and the movie will definitely “blow” you away!

About

Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios take moviegoers up, up and away on one of the funniest adventures of all time with their latest comedy-fantasy. Up follows the uplifting tale of 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip: an overly optimistic 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell. Their journey to a lost world, where they encounter some strange, exotic and surprising characters, is filled with hilarity, emotion and wildly imaginative adventure.

My Mini-Synopsis of the Movie

So we start with the basic intro of the characters.  Boy meets girl, boy be-friends girl, boy marries girl, then boy and girl who are now man and women proceed to make me ball like a little baby.  Their life goes on until one day he is alone and people are trying to get him out of his quaint little house while a little boy is trying to get a “help an elderly person” badge .  The story moves along with Carl setting sail inside his house with a tagalong no less, then proceeds to arrive at his destination only to find he is not alone in paradise.  So after a crazy bird bothering them, a slew of talking dogs, and alot of old man grunts, the movie turns around when…ha…not gonna spoil it for you!  Go buy it and enjoy it for yourself.

      I agree this is an awesome family movie. My son and daughter can quote entire scenes. Yes it starts as a tear jerker but it picks up speed and laughter. Just ask Doug, he’ll tell you.
