Great Movie 
2009-11-18 - Fantastic movie for the whole family. Colorful and realistic, very human like, you don't feel you are watching a cartoon movie.
Not just for kids
2009-11-16 - This has so many things that are not just for kids - it is a great movie and you get more things out of it every time you watch.
Good movie but... 
2009-11-16 - This movie had great picture quality on blu-ray; however, we had to try on several occasions to watch the entirety due to it freezing in our PS3. Not sure whether it was the movie or our PS3 but once when we checked, the disk had greasy fingerprints on it from the factory. We're sure they were not ours as we are always precautious about how we handle disks. I would think the factory would be more careful than have their employees handle these disks as they're being packaged.
So, if you buy this movie and have problems playing it on your blu-ray player, try cleaning it. Also, make sure your PS3 in a well ventilated area, sits horizontal and has the latest firmware installed.
Saw in the Theater, Had to get it for the home
2009-11-15 - My boys (including my husband) and I loved this movie. I knew when we were leaving the theater I'd be buying the movie. The characters are great. BOB is hilarious, which is expected from Seth Rogan. Reese Witherspoon does very well in this movie, which is great because I normally don't care for her. The only complaint I have about this, which I didn't realize until I actually received the Blu Ray, is that it's only Blu Ray. Most Disney DVDs come in a DVD/Blu Ray combo and I strongly feel that, if nothing else, other companies that make kids movies should offer their movies in DVD/Blu-Ray combos. My kids can only watch this in the living room on our PS3. We had to buy the actual DVD to accommodate being able to watch this in other rooms. Good job for Disney for recognizing this and making those combos. Had it been a combo disc, it would have gotten 5 stars without question.
DVD is fine. Shipping was slooooooow...
2009-11-12 - The DVD played fine when we got it. Shipping was particularly bad. The tracking link provided by Amazon turned up with 'Tracking ID not found' for two weeks, and we thought for sure the item had beem misplaced. Finally I called Amazon CustServ and they tracked it down. The tracking info said it was shipped USPS, but apprently the initial shipping is done by FedEx, and FedEx had let that shipment sit in its warehouse here for five or six days before forwarding it to USPS. As a result USPS never knew about it until the day it was delivered to them. I agree I asked for free shipping, and I was told up to nine business days, but why just let it sit in storage so long when it is already in the same city...
