Google. Google is the way to go. Or try the International Movie Script Database. Because I don’t know the URL anymore, enter the site name in Google. As you can see, it always starts with Google.

Hey this movie wasnt the “best” but my son loves it, he quoats the scenes and actually had me for a good 30min into the story, I was just wondering why the old man was so evil? why the boys mom wasnt all freaked out by this man and how the hell Carl didnt break a hip…lol all in all its at least a 2/3 movie.

Here's a follow up post to James' comment in the usual madmind way of bashing. Don't take the title or other stuff personally, please!

Kaia, first thanks for commenting and second, you are a genius because you gave me the ultimate idea of why Up feels so uneven to me: the first act more or less is anything but a kids movie while the rest in many ways is. So, partly I agree with you. On the other hand: what is a kids movie? When I think about it it’s kinda hard to define (and a cool idea for a post so I postpone this discussion for the moment but thanks for that idea).
About the other Pixar movies you mention: each to his own

I feel that this article is uncalled-for criticism of a great movie. Up is not about being realistic in its story; Up is about the feelings. The joys mixed with sadness and humor combine into something that is more than a movie, it’s an understanding of how life should be lived. Up is not about the geographical journey that is taking place, it is about the emotional journey of Mr. Fredrickson and the Small Mailman. The point of talking dogs is not to be realistic, but to add charcters with a humorous spin. This article on Up’s faults kind of misses the point.

I completely agree. I was starting to feel like the only person in the country who didn’t like Up!

I did love the opening montage of his married life. It was extremely touching and heartfelt. But after it’s done, the movie goes down-hill. The script was not only poor, but it was empty. And I completely agree about the absurdity of the talking dogs. People only liked the movie because of the begining.
