"Up"

Who it's for: everyone

Why I like it: I'm a huge fan of Disney/Pixar. I don't remember a movie that they've put out that I didn't enjoy ("Monsters Inc", "Finding Nemo", "The Incredibles", "Cars" etc). "Up" is no exception. The story is incredibly creative, the animation is, of course, amazing, and the humor is awesome.I love movies where the best jokes are in the background, the 1-liners you have to listen for. "Up" has plenty of these. This movie IS for everyone. If you're one of those people that can't admit when a "children's" movie is good, then you probably also didn't cry during "Simon Birch" which therefore means I don't want any part of you. Go see "Up." And if you're looking to show off for your wife like I did then see it in 3D - it was cool. Get there early too so you can see the 6 minute short film that precedes the movie.

movie side note: if you're a fan of nostrils, DON'T see this movie. Apparently all the people of "Up" breath through their mouths b/c the noses are sans nostrils. Noses without nostrils opens up an interesting debate. The other day I was at a friends house where he had fed his dog wet food that morning (the dog normally has dry food). To keep things from getting too crass, let's just say the new diet was not agreeing w/ the k9. I would've gladly gone w/out nostrils that day.
However, now my pretty wife is baking brownies - my favorite dessert, and it smells delicious.
Then again, I've played ultimate frisbee w/ a Polish lad who didn't wear deodorant - not good.
But...I've also driven down Penman Road and smelled the air that brings me back to when I was 8-years-old and headed to the soccer fields.
It's a tough one. For me, give me the nostrils. I'll smell dog toots and Polish B.O. any day as long as I get those great smells as well. I'll leave the debate up to you.
