"Up"

I don’t do movie reviews. I trust the opinion of Mr. Film. However, I took the family to “Up” the other day, and enjoyed the movie so much, I thought I would put a plug in for it. Here are some of the reasons I enjoyed “Up”.

1. The only thing I knew about the movie was that it was a Pixar/Disney movie. That’s it. I saw one trailer for it about 6 months ago, and had no idea how they would make a 2 hour movie about a house that floats away by balloons. So, I was surprised at the fact that I enjoyed the whole movie.

2. Funny. LOL funny.

3. I may be getting old and soft, but I almost cried. Yes, a stupid cartoon almost made me cry.

4. It upheld the significance of marriage wonderfully. I would say as much as or even more than a recent Evangelical movie that was about marriage.

5. The soundtrack was great.

6. It held my boys full attention verses Pixar’s last two: Ratatouille and WALL-E

7. It was very original.

8. It was artistically appealing. Very bright.

I am looking forward to buying this one when it comes out. It may be worth even another shot in the theater.
