Cannes Critics Gave Warm Reception to "Up"

Ahead of the official world premier of "Up" at Cannes, the critics received an advanced showing of the movie. So far, the response has been tremendous.

Hundreds of international critics massed in one of the festival's giant red-velvet screening rooms gave a rare hearty round of applause to the opening movie, a rousing adventure quest in the wilds of South America.

We now have to just sit back and wait for the official written reviews. Roger Ebert, who has already seen it, but in 2D, gave it a very glowing review. Besides, he isn't that much of a fan of 3D "gimmick" anyway. :)
