The Movie Up
Dec 13th, 2009 by darryl
The wife and I watched the movie Up last night. Let me tell you that the movie was so damned depressing. The old man’s wife died early in the movie (reminiscent of every Disney movie) and during the movie, he kept referencing his dead wife. To compound matters further; he also pulled out the most sentimental item every so often.
Talk about a tear jerker! I haven’t cried during a movie since probably watching the ‘mom’s death announcement’ scene in the movie Radio.
This movie reminds you over and over and over again how much you miss loved ones.
I went in thinking this was a comedy and overall it seemed to be written as someone’s farewell to a loved one. Very sad, will not ever purchase, and will never watch again.
On a lighter note, I’d suggest watching the skit from the show ‘The Whitest Kids U Know’ about a commercial being pitched about a grape soda.



I’ve heard that about “Up.” Probably won’t buy it for Alison.
I’m gonna check out that skit!
