I think it was amazing. But I just didn't like the storytelling as I felt that was lacking. It wasn't entertaining enough, and I went to it to be entertained... not to just be blown away that they came up with this amazing premise. It should have had a better storyline, that didn't drag so much in the middle and a lot more humour. I am glad others loved it though, I just found it a bit too boring.

I don't want to add to you feeling alone i...Hi! I don't want to add to you feeling alone in not liking it - especially because I do understand how some people might not enjoy it if they were expecting something amazingly different and creative - but, since you asked, I'll tell you why I loved it. <br />See, I'm a psychologist and a therapist, and the whole premiss for me was amazing from the start. It's true, it is a little stereotypical in how it portrays moms, dads and teens (even though I think they were mostly trying to be funny and encompass a lot of people), and in how people react to certain things (such as moving). <br />But what was really brilliant, in my opinion, was how they tackled our internal dialogs (ones we don't even realize we have most of the time), and our control over our emotions. I loved the idea of teaching kids that we don't "control" our emotions, and they don't "control" us either, but it's really a relationship. We grow, and our emotions with us. <br />Another amazing thing, for me, was how they handled the Sadness/Joy relationship. I thought Joy was such a bully sometimes, and that can be true in our society nowadays. We are a happiness-driven society, which can be tiresome and often hurt our relationship to the world and ourselves. We are slaves to being happy, and feel so guilty (and forever discontent) when we are not - which just brings more guilt, and so on. To say that it's Ok to have all feelings, and that they can all be of use for us, is a really important message for people of all ages (many of my patients brought this discussion to me after watching the movie). <br />So, that's why I liked it. But hey, you don't have to, of course! I'm sorry you were disappointed, and I hope Pixar gets you next time! And I think it's great that you reviewed it, making other people who felt the same as you feel less alone (that's so important!). So, thanks for always putting your soul into your opinions. I really enjoy your blog!Raquelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09666498356585736898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-10132584396090288382015-08-06T23:40:40.063+01:002015-08-06T23:40:40.063+01:00Oh gosh.

I have seen so many people loving it, but I have heard some really bad things about it as well - that what is in the character's minds are so stereotypical as well. Like the dad only thinking about football, etc, and it is getting critique for that. But I haven't seen it myself and really haven't had much interest in seeing it either :/ Maybe I will somewhere along the line...Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-13849366488860100322015-08-06T19:33:30.739+01:002015-08-06T19:33:30.739+01:00OMG I got really excited that you were reviewing t...OMG I got really excited that you were reviewing this, and then I was appalled that you rated it so low! Aww. That makes me sad, my sister and I were so eager to see this. And yet, I'm kind of... not surprised? It must be difficult to set a movie inside peopleses heads. O_O And I agree that the trailer doesn't really give you a plot, just themes. e_e Still, I enjoyed this review!
