UP - The saddest kids’ movie ever!!

Entertainment - Movies

Warning Contains Spoilers:

This movie was so bad in so many ways. To begin with they start off showing a young kid meeting a girl in an abandon house. Of course it’s dangerous in there and the kid falls and breaks his arm. Good message here.. Don’t play in abandoned properties. (Should of showed them being arrested for trespassing)

This is how the main character met his wife. They fall in love, get married and buy that same house. All this is well and good but happening fast with little to no narration. But then it shows them painting up a kids room. Great a munchkin on the way… NOT it had a scene where they were at the docs office getting some bad news. A MISCARRIAGE depicted in a kids movie? Really, was this necessary? Of course through this entire time it shows them trying to save up to go to this magical place I already forgot the name of. Never do they attain this goal, life keeps getting in the way. Flat tire, leaky roof and so on and so on. Bad goal setting if you ask me. The jar is your only savings account? I’m surprised it didn’t show the lights getting turned off.

Let’s move forward to the wife dying in the hospital. This was a great thing to put in a kids movie. Losing a loved one is a great thing to depict in a kids movie. So of course the old man is a grouch and missing his wife with the world building up around him. And just because a construction worker that was building the high rise in his back yard accidentally runs over his mailbox the old man assaults the guy. Knocking him to the ground and it showed blood coming from the workers head. But for this crime does the old man get jail time or even probation. NO he gets shipped off to a retirement home. But he’s not going. Nope.

A couple of days before a poor kid came to his door trying to earn his helping old farts badge and the man lied to him. LIES to him. Tells him about some make believe creature to go find and off goes the kid. So you think right? Wrong. The kid was searching under the house for this made up creature when the house took off. How he got on the front porch we don’t know, but he did.

They make it to this magical place and the lazy kid won’t even help drag the house to the other side of the mountain. No work ethic at all.. Instead all the kid does is feed a wild animal and take in a stray. In the end the old man is double crossed by his child hood hero who tries to kill him and chases him with a pack of talking dogs. It even shows the child hood hero plunging to his death.

The worst part is the very end the kid is getting his helping old farts honor badge and his father doesn’t even show up. I bet his mom didn’t even send out the invitation or bother to give pops a call. Women can be spiteful that way. But who does show up? His new old fart friend. What a sad openly realistic movie.

I almost forgot about grand theft. Grand theft blimp is a crime and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. But no, no old man and pudgy little kid are eating ice cream under thier pilfered ride at the end...
