OK, I got to be honest, I didn't expect a whole lot from this movie going in, I figured it was mostly a kids movie with a lot of Disney hype behind it.
Boy, was I wrong. The idea seems weird at first: "Lets make a movie about the emotions of a child.". But Pixar made a weird idea work beautifully (again). It's a very bitter-sweet movie about the pains and realities of growing up, with the world and emotions becoming more complex in the process.
But it still works as a comedy, too. This is at least partially to the credit of the voice actors. They didn't just pick some random big names, they fit perfectly. Joy pretty much was Leslie Knope as a pure emotion, Amy Poehler made that ridiculous optimism work. And Lewis Black fit Anger with his pissed off default character perfectly too.
In short: go watch it, even as an adult, even when there are no kids around, it's just great funny sad sweet entertainment.
