Review of Up (2009) by Marc R — 12 Jul 2014

Problems similar to those in "The Incredibles" keep it from reaching the heights of "Ratatouille." The film seems to give up on its potent subject matter in the third act (especially once the dogs start flying planes), and the villain isn't used well.

But that marriage montage is a thing of beauty, and it's one of Pixar's funniest and most touching films. You certainly won't be bored throughout its running time, and very few films are capable of having you cry within the first 15 minutes.
