I took my three children, ages 2, 4 and 8 to see this film. They really enjoyed it - there was enough humor to keep them engaged and the bright colors and fun characters kept them watching instead of fidgeting as they do at lesser family fare. What I really liked were the little bits of adult humor sprinkled throughout. The kids found it funny, but the adults actually found it funnier. Disney and Pixar have once again created a fun family film that we won't mind watching over again in the years to come.
While I did find this movie visually appealing and the characters interesting, I found the overall movie pointless, and it definitely felt like three hours to me! The ending made no real sense to me, and while I saw the connection between all the plotlines and characters, it wasn't as highly coincidental as they made things out to be with the opening vignettes. I was very impressed with the way Tom Cruise played his character, and the cast all fell very well into their roles, but by the end of the movie I didn't really care what was going to happen to them. So many questions were left unanswered for me that when the movie was over I thought to myself "What was the point of that?" I know many cinema buffs will disagree with me completely, but for an average movie goer I think an entire afternoon or evening could be much better spent than watching this film.
I thought this was a great movie because it really scared me without being a gross out horror movie. I can't remember the last time I actually screamed while watching a movie. The plot is very sentimental, which I liked but some people may think is too much. I hadn't seen this movie on the big screen when it was out, which I wish I had, but watching it in a dark room at home didn't take too much away. If you're a sentimental person who likes being scared but not made ill by watching a movie, I would highly recommend this one.
