I thought it was just one of those movies. My daughter wanted to watch movies during school holidays. And usually, we would rent one on Tuesdays from a video shop for a dollar each. But for that particular Tuesday, my daughter wanted to go to the theatre with her friend. She wanted to watch G-Force at 7pm. As we were about to leave, she decided to watch Year One. All right then. At the theatre, we found out the movie had already started half an hour earlier. Finally, we settled for Up, instead, as suggested by the ticket lady.

We watched as a family and my daughter’s friend was with her parents, too. As the movie trailer on TV suggested, it’s a funny movie. A good laugh for the family. But it turned out to be more than that. It was a story about two kids -- a boy and a girl who dreamed of a great adventure. They grew up without realising their dreams. Instead, they fell in love and got married. Their dream adventure never got fulfilled,
