Pixar's "up" Gets Thumbs Down

[HappyBull]

I brought my children to see Pixar's latest abomination, "Up" this weekend and all I can say is it was awful, awful, AWFUL!

I have dealed with Pixar's pseudointellectualistic failures in the past. Instead of sticking with good, wholesome family movies (like their best movie, the always fun and charming classic "Cars"), they continue to churn out generic movies that would only appeal to jobless, pothead scumbags that want to feel smart (Kung Fu Panda barely saved them last year, but they've given up on trying to make comedies it seems). I do not have the time or energy to express how much I and my husband and kids hated Ratatoullie, and we all enjoy Bravo's Top Chef, so that should tell you how terrible it is.

I also brought my children to see WallE and absolutely HATED it! The movie was just a long commercial for radical Liberals that hate America! The very notion that our great country's future could ever be so ridiculous is laughable! Unfortunately, that's the only laughable thing about this movie. I was checking my watch so much, I paid attention to it much more than I did the movie, and both my kids were falling asleep by the 45 minute mark. This is not a kids movie, this isn't a movie for anyone. It's trash, plain and simple. Stupid, boring trash. (I recommend renting Madagascar 2 instead if you're looking for a movie that's truly "Laugh Out Loud" fun for the whole family).

However, this year's release was just the worst of the worst! Not only is Up completely unenjoyable for both young and old, it's just downright offensive at times! A movie where, within the first 15 minutes, deals with a miscarriage? My youngest was asking me what was going on, and I could barely give him and explanation over all the sobbing the crybabies in the audience were doing. We only know the main character and his wife for such a brief period of time, the lame, forced "emotional" moments were much too unrealistic and over-the-top to make the average person feel anything but "UP"set. The only redeeming quality this movie holds is the hilarious talking dogs that made me giggle, remembering our dog "Ruff" at home (however, the miscarriage scene reminding me of my own three miscarriages was thoroughly uncomfortable). Simply put: don't waste time with Pixar's newest garbage, they're not children-appropriate at all, although they continue to attempt to advertise it as such. I suggest you see the much more entertaining and hilarious 3D thrillride "Monsters Vs. Aliens" if your movie theater is still showing it (I honestly don't see how they can make something as brilliant as MVA and then go make this crap).

I give this stinker a grand total of 2 points out of a possible 10 on my private grading scale. Don't waste the money, the 3D doesn't even save it from being such a piece of anti-entertainment (no fun surprises like arms reaching out at you, my children were very disappointed).

Just putting my review on Newgrounds before it goes into the Local Newspaper and the School Newspaper at my daughter's middle school. What's it to you?

[McFooFa]

Dearest Marvelous Madcow,

I completely agree with your statement.

This film is an abomination, I vomited exactly twenty-seven times upon viewing it.

Because the cost of theater snacks are so high, I was forced to consume my own vomit for nourishment.

I am not proud of this.

Later that night, I had explosive diarrhea, which contained large amounts of the vomit I previously mentioned.

The vomit and feces had combined into one entity. I call it Veces, also known as Fomit.

Unfortunately, I am now addicted to the substance, and I eat it constantly.

I plan on selling Veces/Fomit to the Coca-Cola company.

Best wishes to you and your family, big boy.

I call shenanigans.

Abomination?? I'll tell you what's an abomination: your review!!! It stinks!!

[Generalissimus]

If you hated it so much, why didn't you just walk out?

I'm sorry, I don't understand the reference.

The tickets for my family of 5 cost $70 because of the fact it was in 3D, no way in heck am I going to let that money go to waste!

[Minion777]

I saw this wretched excuse for a film the other night with my younger brother, and I must tell you all that I was thoroughly disappointed. UP was nothing more than another of Pixars long running line of faiulres and I cant say im all too surprised.
The only redeeming part of the experience was watching the glow from the screen bounce off the top of my brothers, smooth, sweet, succulent skin, marking a trail down the back of his shoulder towards his petite, sculpted ass.

So for all those looking for a decent movie to take the kids or loved ones this week, AVOID Pixars UP like the plague.

[TheJamoke]

I don't get it. Is MadCow banned/high again and that's why he's posting with the alt or what?

Btw, you should really return those children to wherever you found them. Their parents must be worried sick, and if they get your scent on them the mother won't take them back.

And thanks for the heads up I guess. I wasn't going to go see that movie anyway though, I plan on taking the family to Drag Me to Hell. I don't know what the mental ramifications of taking a 3 year-old into that type of movie are, but I guess it's never too late to find out.

[Gagsy]

Am I the only one excited about seeing a film where an old man and young man have nothing but the company of each other?

[yurgenburgen]

I'm surprised that a film company would deal with the subject of miscarriage in what is meant to be a children's film. I've no idea how they thought that would work.

I wasn't planning on seeing it anyway, but still.

[pleasenjoi]

Wall-E and Ratatouille are both pretty sick in my opinion and what would Bravo's Top Chef have to do with Ratatouille I guess eating my own shit would also relate to Ratatouille because eating takes place in the movie.

[JeremyLokken]

I agree that trailers shouldn't be misleading (but if I made a crappy film, I would want to polish the trailer the best I could). But if it's for adults and not for children, show that in the trailer. A miscarriage in a kids movie?

[Dragonberry]

Of course it sucked, Disney paid millions of dollars to render balloons.

[Gorgorothx]

Kung Fu Panda wasn't Pixar. It was Dreamworks. Shit happens.

[CryogenChaos]

Well goodness gracious me! I had no idea that Up was such a terrible movie! The trailers made it seem like a good, clean, and well-made movie. I guess you could say they got me, hook line and stinker! Ha ha ha, but in all seriousness, I'm sure glad I didn't waste my money I earned from my 9 to 5 job at the office to see this terrible movie.

No, no, I'm pretty sure you're wrong. It was definitely Pixar.

Bwahahahahahahaha, you had a miscarriage. God hates you!

[ChaoticTrashCan]

I'm pretty sure that most of these comments are jokes, but I saw it today and was actually rather pleased. To address what people have been saying, the movie never makes it known that the woman had a miscarriage. All it shows is that she doesn't have a baby, whether she's infertile or anything else.

Wikipedia? Uh... yeah... no. Not a reputable source at all. You just edited the article! I've seen every Pixar movie since Antz and I know my shit, ok? Piss off.

lol wow. And I thought my comment was trolling. <3

Rotten Tomatoes says otherwise, also I loved Wall-E.

I guess kids are just too stupid these days to understand a storyline.

IMDB a better source for you? That says Dreamworks under company...

Also: calm the fuck down.

Since IMDB is the standard these days for all things movie related, that ends the Pixar/Dreamworks "who made what" debate.

I'm interested to know how this miscarriage idea came across? Can anyone describe in detail what happened before and after, in the movie?

[DragonRry]

There wasn't really mention of miscarriage. There's just a chick crying at a doctor's clinic, with her husband comforting her.

There must be some sort of mistake, I'm pretty sure IMDB is just as editable as Wikipedia. Next you'll try to tell me Shrek isn't Pixar either and that the word "Gullible" isn't in the dictionary! Fucking liars need to stop trying to troll me, I'm not an idiot.

[Kinsei]

you do know that both Kung-fu Panda and Madagascar are both mad by Dreamworks right?
fail buddy, pure fail.
I understand your pain. and I agree that Pixar and Dsiney should have never merges since they have achieved nothing but fail since, but please don't lump the works of other corporations and studios in with Disney's pathetic works

You have to be a user to edit IMDb info, and when you do, it gets reviewed by their staff first. I know because I edit IMDb pages frequently.

And Up is a fantastic movie. It's also PG this time, not G.
