\"Up\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last weekend we had our first whole family trip to the cinema – Olga, Maxim, and myself.\u00a0 The choice of the moving picture was simple – “Up<\/a>“, the only family friendly movie in the cinema right now.\u00a0 Plus we all love animated films.\u00a0 Plus I’ve heard quite a few good words about this one.<\/p>\n

The animation was excellent, as always from Pixar.\u00a0 But the story and the characters, I think, needed more work.\u00a0 There were a few funny scenes, a few quite serious and sad ones.\u00a0 It wasn’t just for the kids, but for the whole family.<\/p>\n

Overall, while enjoyable, the film lacks something.\u00a0 Either a crazy creature running around and getting into silly situations (even though there was a candidate), or a character with a funny voice (even though there was a candidate), or something completely different.<\/p>\n
