Welcome to Reel Reviews. This is not your regular movie review site because I am not your average movie critic. I am a fan of movies, not a critic. I love all types of movies: comedies, action, drama, romantic, horror, etc. I am not here to make myself look good by running down good old fashion enjoyable popcorn flicks that always seem to be bashed by critics. I am here to let you know how the movies I see truly stack up to expectations and if they are worth your $10.

Disney/Pixar's UP!


UP! continues in the footsteps of its Disney/Pixar forefathers down a road of excellence. I am seriously starting to think that this dynamic duo is incapable of making a bad movie.

While many people see this as a kids movie, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed UP!. The movie follows an elderly loner trying to deal with the unfinished plans he had with his wife after she passed away and a boy scout knockoff trying to earn his final merit badge. These two are a perfect pair who both have exactly what the other needs. They of course have to figure this out the hard way during a wild adventure to a mysterious land in South America full of all sorts of surprises.

UP! was filled with laughs, but still found a way to tug on your heart strings. The connection we feel with the characters is amazing given the short film time and the fact that they aren't even real actors. I absolutely recommend UP! to anyone with kids or without.

UP! gets a extra large popcorn bucket as it is absolutely enjoyable from beginning to end. UP! also offers a 3D option which could only enhance your movie going experience if you don't mind dropping another $3 per ticket.
