Go watch it!

You need to.
You really do.

This was such a fun movie. Joe and I went on a little date the other week after getting to meet our new friend Baby Jacob.

I am a super fan of Pixar (although our relationship was a little diminished by Wall-E).
UP focuses on Carl, a crotchety old man being forced from his home by urban sprawl, but decides to take matters into his own hands and goes UP! During the first half of the movie, we learn Carl's back story and understand why he is the way he is. But the rest of the movie is a hilarious, touching and imaginative adventure story. The cast of characters also includes the endearing wilderness scout Russell, crazy Kevin and lovable Dug.

Action, adventure, family, friends and REALLY funny circumstances makes for a great movie to be enjoyed by all. Go see it! You'll be glad you did!

Hey Leanna, I've heard good things about this from serveral others. It takes the same approach as Wall-E in not feeling caught up in just conversation and has a few quiet moments in character development. This is a refreshing thing to see in American films! My dad saw it in 3-D and said it was NOT worth the extra spend if you can pick. Apparently there were a lot of potentially good moments when the 3D could have been used, but it wasn't. I think the idea of 3D films is just another plot to get people into the theaters and has potential, but they're just not quite there yet in achieving a good quality 3D experience yet.

@Margie: Thanks for the tip on 3D vs. not. I can't wait to go see it!

Yeah, we just 2-D'd it. Heard it wasn't worth sitting through the movie with the glasses on the whole time. I'll wait and go to 3-D when we don't need the glasses! Holograms here we come!
