Purchase Up (4 Disc Combo Pack with Digital Copy and DVD) [Blu-ray]


What is the deal this movie? My son expected it to be very funny. Yes it had some funny parts, but by and large, it was very depressing and made my son, who's 7, very saddened and upset. In the first 5 minutes of the movie, they deal with infertility and death. Even my wife started crying in this movie. One watches movies to escape reality, not embrace it.

It's a movie for CHILDREN! Even at Wal-Mart, with "UP" playing on the display television, my wife saw a young child begin crying in the scene where the guy's wife dies. A kid's movie should not make a child cry in the first 5 minutes.

And what was the deal with the boy's father? It was never explained. Or his mother, for that matter. All we know from the movie is that he lives with someone who's not his mother.

So all in all,

It's a boy...with no mother or father, hanging out with a disgruntled old man dealing with infertility and loss/death. That is NOT the recipe for a good kid's movie.

I hope Disney/Pixar can re-"Imagine" their entertainment.
