Netflix Top 100 - 78. Up



What a remarkable movie! 15 minutes into the film and I was crying like a baby. This film is so well made and beautiful to boot. It is the story of Carl (Ed Asner) who loses his beloved wife whom he has known since childhood. He is a lonely old man who is somewhat of a curmudgeon and reluctant to conform to society.

Through a series of unfortunate events he is being forced to give up his home to developers when he gets a brilliant idea on how to escape these pitfalls. He goes on a journey to South America and brings a stow away Wilderness Explorer named Russell(Jordan Nagai). The two of them travel to find his ex wife's most favorite place to visit on earth-Paradise Falls. Once they reach the falls, more hilarity ensues with a great cast of characters including, Christopher Plummer, as Charles Muntz, Carl's boyhood idol. Great movie for kids and grown ups alike. Just Queue It!
