I was conversing about this movie with my cousin who confessed his girlfriend and he cried during the movie. Since I had watched part one evening and the rest in another sitting, I forgot about crying. So, when he asked me, I said, "no". That was until he prompted me (I won't spoil it for you). Then I remembered, "oh, yeah". It was a good cry though. If there is such a thing. A good cry because this movie really made you feel the love.
I also loved how this movie, quite subtly, shows how the word "adventure" can be so subjective and doesn't need to necessarily mean flying around in your home with a huge bunch of helium filled baloons coming through your chimney in search of Paradise.
Or how someone you never feel could possibly assist you...does.
So, I am not so sure this is a movie I would watch twice. However, it certainly was worthy of my time to view it once. Thank you, Pixar.
P.S. I found the credits clever and fun to watch. How many movies can say that?
