To have blubbed like a baby throughout the entire performance of 'UP'?

[notnowbernard]

Go and see it, it's great

(And I want to know if there are any other wailers)

i was thinking of going to this with ds, he is 4.5 and not sentimental. i am 40 and very easily bored in cinemas hence we have only been once (it was ice age 3 and mercifully short). should we?

Well, dd1 is 5.10 and dd2 3.2

dd1 loved it and was seemingly unaffected (but isn't massively sentimental - unlike her mother )

dd2 a bit young, obv didn't get the storyline but liked it visually. Kept her entertained with Haribo

Loved it.

Very poignant and really made me think but dd & ds (6 & 7) didn't seem half as sad as me! I think they 'got' a completely different film, it's multi layered.

It was quite sentimental and I did get a bit teary but I think it's the parents who well up, not the kids - DS (7) said it was sad in places but he didn't really dwell on them. Wish I'd done some research on it though as I took him for a treat to take our minds off my very elderly dad's illness, then it was all "retirement homes" and oldies in the film.... DS didn't notice, just liked the dogs .

Great film. There are some really sad bits in it, but "good" sad I think. There are probably more funny bits though - it's not a sad film (just has some very poignant moments).

Awful charmless film. This was my daughter's first trip to the cinema. We were hoping for a magical Disney experience but instead got an adult-orientated piece of sentimental tosh - found it manipulative and joyless, watching a grieving angry man trudge around with a house on his back. We left before the end, daughter in tears about the dogs and the old men fighting. The poster was the best bit. I am quite unreasonable, however.

I cried 5 times. I work at a movie theater so I got to see it about three times. I went to see it the first time with a 12 year old boy (my manager's son) and he looked at me in horror about 20 mins in: "Are you crying?" Me: snuffle, snort, snuffle "Um...no?"

I think most of the sad stuff passed DS (5) by. He was upset about the dad not wanting to see his boy.

For the starting montage to affect you I think you maybe need to have had a bit of a life and be able to empathise.

It made me feel good that DH and I have always grabbed our adventures as soon as they come up and also blessed that not only do we get to have adventures we got the babies as well.

I thought it was an excellent film. Poignant certainly but nice as well.

Ds is going to see it tomorrow with his beaver troop. I will not be accompanying them but now I am intreigued and want to know what it is about.

You were hoping for a "magical Disney experience" ? Was that a tongue-in-cheek statement?

Went under sufferance as hate this sort of tosh. But, I have to say that the beginning was deeply moving and carried me through the rest of the film. Dh, Ds and even little Dd seemed to like the film too.

Went yesterday and loved it.

Welled up at the montage at the beginning.
Cried when he read the book near the end.

Laughed in between as well.

so ticks my boxes for a good film

Its a Disney Pixar film, not a traditional Disney princessy type cartoon (not that I've seen it but dd has). I would expect a different type of film from Pixar than traditional Disney.

ahh we went to see it yesterday after we picked up the dc's from school , it was a great movie although a bit sad in parts , the kids loved a big bird oh & dougg the dog . dd (3) loved the 3D glasses .

It's wonderful and I blubbed.

I couldn't help but laugh mac12!

I cried - twice! Beautiful movie

Oh Gawd.

DD2 is desperate to see it and I'm a notorious blubber, despite usually being a hard-faced cow. Shame she's too young to go on her own.

Oh I blubbed. Didn't wail

It was a great film.

magical Disney experience sounds like my idae of hell

I've never cried at a cartoon before.

Mac12 > you must have a heart of stone.

Though I wonder if under-eights will really get it? I wanted to see it again straight away.

witch - my 6yr old loved it. The sad bit went over his head but he laughed like a drain at the rest of it.

My 7 year old got it all and asked whether grndma felt like that now grandad was dead and BUT she loved the film anyway.

It is really sweet and the humour is good too. I love the dog " I have just met you but I love you - will you be my master?"

I think its great. DS2 is going again on Saturday
I had two teenagers with me and they were at my producing tissues and sniffling

That's good, Orm. I think the observational humour about dog behaviour and growing old was hysterical.

Just struck me that (and my kids are 13 &11) that some moments were really hopeless and scary and bleak.

Good a fat kid was a hero for a change. In Harry Potter and Dahl etc FAT KID = EVIL/GREEDY/STUPID

I loved it, I thought the characters were great and really made heroes of people who are never normally centre stage, especially the old man.

But at the beginning, when they couldn't have a baby and when she got ill and died before he could whisk her away on a trip, I cried so much I thought I was going to start audibly sobbing and wailing and have to be escorted out. I gave myself a sore throat holding it in.

DP had to whisper to DS "silly mummy, she's OK really."
