I have a life-long history of falling in love with movies everyone else despised, and I am sad to say this movie has now been added to that lengthy list. "What Goes Up" was twelve kinds of wonderful. Maybe a moment or two, here and there, made me ask "why?" but not one of those moments took away from the brilliance of this movie. Steve Coogan is fantastic in everything he does, and he didn't slack off in this movie. Not to mention, every other actor in this film was equally tremendous.
I love the "mystery" this film lead on with, and the fact that it didn't have to wrap up with a tedious voice-over explanation, it instead SHOWED us, and I appreciated that. Though some people grossly dislike being "left hanging" or feeling confused because they didn't understand an ending; I, however, love to be allowed to somewhat decide what I think happened.
All that said--and the fact that Hillary Duff continues to be amazing despite those who claim otherwise--I hope everyone will give this gem a shot, and then be glad you did.
