Just saw UP last night. Bawled my eyes out. I don't know how they did it, but I loved Ellie the moment they pulled the helmet off her head. I must have lost control of the waterworks 6 or 7 different times. Generally I resent that in a movie--my emotions are my own and I don't want them toyed with--but it was so well done, I just can't hate.

I probably won't go out of my way to watch it again. I couldn't afford the kleenex.

If i DID see it again, it would be for Doug. Doug rocked.

Spoiler:

My Fiance's name is Kevin. I could tell he was thrilled the bird was named for him--then they revealed it was a girl. I almost shot soda out my nose from the look on his face.

If his face had subtitles, it would have gone: "Hee! That's MY name! Pretty funny bird shares my na--NO! I am not a GIRL!!"
