Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Absolutely the worst movie.
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Carl Fredrickson married his childhood friend and sweetheart Ellie, staying together all their life until one day, an elderly Ellie passes away, leaving Carl on his own.A lonely Carl struggles with the absence of his beloved late wife and seems to have become bitter against life and people in general. His frustration and short fuse is exposed when he loses his temper with a construction worker and is forced by a judge to leave his lifelong home he shared with Ellie and attend a nursing home.Instead of awaiting for his fate in the nursing home, Carl's life takes a turn when he attaches thousands of helium balloons to his house and it takes off into the sky.He heads for Paradise Falls in South America, before noticing he had a stowaway. A kid named Russell, a wilderness explorer scout whom Carl actually finds to be quite annoying.But Carl and Russell share an adventure together that will bond them with a special friendship forever.This movie is full of love, loss, friendship and adventure that will certainly lift you 'Up' ...
Im 35 years old and i have a son. When this movie first came out i watched it with my son thinking it was just another kids movie. But then as i started to watch it i began to cry then laugh throughout the movie i have watched it probably 20 times, it never gets old. I wish they made a second one. Even though its a cartoon it makes you remember true love.
I absolutely loved this movie, I couldn't choose which animal character I love the most. It was a tie between Dug and Kevin! I recommend this for anyone. I know I watch it a lot myself.
Often we don't expect certain movies to mean anything. This one was enjoyed by my entire family and tought a great lesson. Emotional roat coaster.
