I gave it a 5 because it wasn't awful. Maybe a 6 would be more fair, but only just barely. Maybe. The 5 is somewhat of a reaction to the almost 9 overall IMDb score. But i am more comfortable with 5, so I am sticking with it.

Inside Out is a good movie for kids. For adults, it is pretty lame. 5 emotions? C'mon, only a youngster is going to buy that, 'cause they don't know any better. And about the message, that if you want people to help you out, you have to going around moping, so they will see you are upset, and maybe help you out. That is a lame message, even for a toddler.

This movie is a very ordinary cartoon movie. I was really disappointed, and only got talked into seeing a kid's movie, because of the 9+ ratings on here at the time I went to see it a week ago.

If there was a 6.5, I would give it. Because there was a lot to like in this movie. I like Mark Wahlberg. I like the bear. I like Amanda Seyfried. And there were a lot of good laughs in this movie. Good one-liners, and good recurring gags.

However, it just wasn't enough to make up for a horrible plot. The plot is lifted from "Miracle on 43rd Street." But it is not Christmas, Ted is not Santa. Somehow Ted does not rise to the mythical level of Santa, this is not a movie for kids. and the movie falls flat. Markie Mark is same as ever, and I do enjoy him. Kudos to Amanda Seyfried, who tries so hard to make the romance story line work. But I could never get past the fact that I was watching MW and AS and a wise-cracking stuffed bear. Some good laughs? Yes. A good story? Not even close.
