UP... not so much.

Rating: 6/10 (13 June 2009)

I'd give it maybe 6 of 10. If you've seen the trailers you've seen most of the funniest scenes. Disney's moral message gets muddled up in a dragged out tale of an old man seeking a lost dream. Asner is great as a grumpy old man (with heart), but nothing that we haven't heard before. (Lou Grant, animated.) The highlight was Bob Peterson as Dug and Alpha, the two leading dogs. Also, kudos to young Jordan Nagai as Russell. The 3-D added little to the film except for a few panoramic shots, and maybe a handful of other times, and the colors were a lot sharper w/o the glasses. It's a shame there is no alternative for a kids movie yet this summer. Be prepared for them to be bored to tears by the first 10 minutes.
