Sad news about Murphy and the Bill Condon project.
I was hoping it would reserve the shame of his loss for Dreamgirls.
The AV Club had their own distinctly unsentimental take on the Tyler Perry thing:

I finally saw Up today. I was a little dissapointed with the fact it ain’t so entertaining like other Pixar films but far more thoughtful. I was expecting something different so I’m a bit ambiguous but I’m sure multiple viewings will solve that.
Marlon Wayans is a better choice to play Pryor in my opinion.
