Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"Up" is so much better than other soft porn movies. It has lots of large, naked breasts and bizarre, creative dialogue and plot. The acting, cinematography, editing and picture quality is all top-notch stuff. However, I'm not sure it is worth the exhorbitant price. If Russ is going to charge 30-40 dollars...

Unlike current US sitcoms, this series has good old fashioned family humor--like it "could happen...
