Made my teenager cry at the tender moments...just when I thought she was too jaded to watch another Pixar/Disney film! Loved the imagery of the balloons and the idea that life is filled with the adventures we make ourselves! :)
Not as funny as the 1st -- but what movie ever is!

Overall a good time! Not as interesting plot as the first one -- much the same as National Treasure vs. its sequel! But it's Ben Stiller -- how can you not walk away laughing! I would watch again.
There aren't very many movies that live up to the book version. But if you took the movie as it is -- a 2 hr attempt at a summary...it was ok! I didn't care for the narrative -- rather a poor attempt at not being able to translate what was a perfectly descriptive story. The best part: the baseball scene -- probably the only scene that lived up to my expectations and beyond!
