I think more than any Pixar movie, this made me loathe the company, especially as I found the whole "marriage in a minute" montage incredibly manipulative.  Watching the first quarter hour today, I just found the movie, well, bland, especially the character design.  But, yes, I didn't detest it, so I've mellowed.  Peter Docter and Bob Peterson co-directed, and co-wrote with somebody else.

The go-to example of how I don't like but generally don't hate Pixar.  This is my third or fourth attempt at this movie, although this time I tuned out before I actually saw Buzz.  John Lasseter directed and co-wrote.
