First, Up should not be a children’s movie.  My SO walked in on me while I was watching the first 10 minutes and just bawling my eyes out.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen him laugh that hard.

Highly Recommend: Up, for making me cry and feel things.
Unclear in My Emotions: Fantastic Mr. Fox, this movie is weird. Funny, but weird. Definitely worth checking out, and probably not a children’s movie.
Need to Try Again: Life of Brian, you need to be in the zone for Monty Python and I just hit it on the wrong day.

Meh: Thank You For Smoking, I thought this would be cleverer than it was.  I found the message a little too heavy handed.
