    We just went to see it today, and loved it! The story was a real tear jerker though... I cried quite a bit in the theater. Has anyone seen Up? :  wedding Icon Redface

    I have been having a really strong reaction lately to movies where a couple gets separated, either by circumstance or death. We saw Benjamin Button last weekend and I cried for almost two hours! eeesh.

    I cried too! And I saw tears roll from under the rims of the 3-D eyeglasses my fiance wore too. The beginning is just so heartbreaking! Has anyone seen Up? :  wedding Icon Sad

    Such an amazing movie though! Did you see it 3-D?

    Fiance and I went to see it a couple weeks ago. I cried like a baby in those first 15-20 minutes, and then again when the old man was looking through the adventure book and found the pictures :'(  What a sad and lovely story. I've seen it described elsewhere as being "delightful", and I think it's a pretty accurate description of the movie.

    The little boy was adorable too. I wanted to reach to the screen and pinch his cheeks ^_^  And Dug the dog was super cute. SQUIRREL! :D

    Not yet.  But I heard a story about a little girl with terminal cancer who wanted to see it but was too sick to leave her house.  Pixar (or whoever made the movie) found out, and they gave her a DVD to watch.  She watched it with her mom and then died later that night!  :(

    We saw it too.It wasn't what I expected at all - we thought it was going to be a louder/more boisterous kids' movie. I really liked it and found it so sad and sweet.I had tears brimming every time he kissed his wife's picture.

    I LOVED Up, but I cried for the first 20 minutes! I haven't seen Benjamin Button yet. Did you like it?

    Oh, Benjamin Button was good, but worse on the crying factor!!! I literally cried during the whole thing, maybe it was worse though because I was at home and had good access to tissues! ;)

    Taffy, I was sobbing, sobbing at Benjamin Button.  I'm pretty sure Mr.D was slightly embarassed....  I haven't seen UP yet, I'm waiting for Mr.D to get here.  I saw Marley & Me shortly after my grandmother passed away and it really upset me.  I wonder what the other people in the theatre thought!

    I'm glad that I'm not alone!!! I still cried for at least an hour afterward, and totally had an awful "crying" headache the next day. I don't ever remember crying so much during a movie! I think we'll watch some comedies next... :)

    Oh, I totally cried throughout Up.  But my warm-up act was the short beforehand -- "Partly Cloudy."  I laughed so hard I started crying!  Loved both so much, and I wish I weren't so busy with wedding stuff so we could go again!

    I totally cried during Up. Mr. M was looking at me like I was crazy.  I wanted to see Benjamin Button but maybe not so much anymore!

    oh man, i cried during the first ten minutes when they were going through their life story.  I must've cried a total of 3 times.  My FI and I were talking about it afterwards, and we definitely didn't think that was how the story was going to be... the previews don't give a hint at all of how much it would make you cry.

    btw - i didn't know they had it in 3-D!

    I cried the whole way through UP!  My husband said that he could tell I cried through the whole thing (not just the beginning) because I kept sniffling in between every laugh.  :) 

    Oh, and the dogs absolutely killed us!  We already have voices we use for our dogs (I know we're nerds) but sometimes now we throw in a "Squirrel!" or "I love you because you are my master!"  The dogs are like the funniest part about the whole movie!

    I LOVED up! The dogs killed me, too, my friend and I who went to see it together kept spontaneously saying "Squirrel!" throughout our converstations all day...lol

    I cried a little at that one part that I'm sure those who've seen it know (but I don't want to say lest I spoil it for someone who's not yet seen it!)

    I highly recommend this film!

    I absolutely loved UP!  It was so poingnant and bittersweet - the first 20 minutes I was getting all teary, and I'm like "Pixar, what are you doing to me??"

    Funny story: As we were walking out of the theater, we heard some people talking about the movie.  One lady complained, "I don't like movies that force some stupid life message on you.  I think that movie was too preachy."  Has anyone seen Up? :  wedding Icon Eek  Wierdo...

    I cried so hard I was on the verge of sobbing in public...perhaps they should have a warning for pregnant women not to watch the first 10 minutes of that movie!

    My FI is widely known for being a very sensitive, heart-on-his-sleeve type of guy.......and a huge crier. He cried a LOT during UP. I felt like at least one of us needed to keep it together, so I didn't!

    It was a great movie. My FI and I went a few weeks back and were the only child-less adults there. It was the cutest thing hearing the kiddies get excited when they saw something or shouted to their parents when they didn't understand a part of the movie. I just couldn't believe some of the sad parts of the movie. I didn't cry but I definitely had chills...

    Not only am I a crier, but I had a slight cold when I went to see Up ... which really only made the snifflinf and crying that much worse/more obvious :P. It's okay though ... my FI cried too :P He said that even the "Partly Cloudy" short made him sad! haha
