My main problem was when it seemed to deviate from the formula, it ended up just sending you back to what was expected. The story moved along decently, so I was really excited for how everything would wrap up, but the message of "If a nice guy and nice girl meet, they will eventually be in love" is overdone, and while done better here than in others, it feels forced and really anti-climactic.

I do really appreciate how it handled its audience, and very rarely made things "Just for kids" (But when they did it usually was part of the occasional bad humor, but it wasn't THAT apparent), but the story itself feels all over the place. The song "Let It Go", which in my opinion, while not a perfect song, is a highlight of 2013 cinema, feels out of place since not long after the character is humiliated and runs off, she sings about how great it is to be free of fear and control, but it's never touched on again. The song, while I love it as an individual scene, I think doesn't fit into the plot as well as it could have.

My main problem with "Fixer Upper" was not only did I find the humor really awkward, cheesy, and childish, it degrades a character who already has a three dimensional personality. It feels pointless, and is incredibly uncomfortable to sit through, for me at least.

Olaf was handled extremely well, though occasionally he takes the weight off of some scenes, but it's rare and not too noticable, so I still think he was awesome. As is all the other characters.

Other problems were also apparent, rushing through some of the plot, plot convienances, awkward jokes, occasionally bad dialogue, and like I said earlier, really childish ending.

So while I do appreciate this film immensely, and I do consider it overall a fine film, I can't rank it up there with some of the best.
