As our first official family activity of the summer, we took the kids to see UP. It is exceedingly rare for us to go the theater and was a bit painful to shell out $8.50 a ticket (for the matinee!), but we had a good time. I absolutely LOVED the first 30 minutes or so of the movie, thought the middle was okay, and loved the last five minutes. I laughed out loud at parts and was completely surprised that a Pixar flick could move me to tears (no less than 3 times). The little Boy Scout reminded me so much of Ben. When he started talking about cumulonimbus clouds, I almost wet my pants . . . it was just such a Ben thing to say. The 3D animation was awesome! The kids were less impressed than I thought they would be, but I thought it was amazing. Nate gave it an 8. For me it would have been a 10 if wasn’t for those talking dogs.

I am looking forward to seeing this with our family as well - even if it's at the old Kaysville theater or on DVD in a few months - it looks like a good one!
Matt and the kids saw it on Saturday and LOVED it. I was working and so when I woke up Sunday morning I woke up to everyone's re-play of the entire movie. Sounds like a great one! (especially if Nate gave it an 8...pretty good with his tough standards)
I didn't have any desire to see this until hearing your review and now I kind of want to. You guys are such fun parents! I need to be better like you guys.
