I did something I never do - I watched a movie. I especially don't do this during the day because I have BabyB. But when this started it caught my eye and I watched most of it. Has anyone else seen it? I have a headache because I pretty much cried te whole time, and sobbed at the end. It was so, so good.
 
I don't want to watch a movie that makes me cry! :'( Old Yeller and Charlotte's Web did me in. :eek:
 
It will! I don't think I've ever cried this much or this hard at a movie before. I can't anywhere tomorrow - my eyes are so swollen and puffy it's ridiculous. It was SUCH a good movie, though. It breaks your heart, but warms it at the same time. I couldn't even tell MrB about it without choking up. LOL
 
I recall that, but not all of what it's about. Definitely something I'd have to watch at home.

Especially after crying at the theater during The Odd Life Of Timothy Green yesterday. :'(
 
It's about a little boy, who's autistic to some degree, that lost his father in te north Tower on 9/11. He finds a key in his Father's closet a year later and goes on a mission to find the lock it goes to. But it goes to flashbacks, where his father was trying to teach him not to be afraid of the world by sending him on scavenger hunts in Central Park, to help him with this fear. It's just so sad. Especially the answering machine parts. Omg.

Y'all should see my face - I couldn't even get contacts in this morning. I look terrible. LOL
 
I did not see the movie, I did read the book and was told the movie would ruin it for me. Since that is the truth with most, but not all, I found The Help much better in movie format than book, I was saved from a 2 hour ugly cry. :))
 
We rarely see movies. Most, I don't really enjoy. I enjoy reading much more. But I remember seeing the trailer for this film and really wanting to see it.

Now, with your recommendation, I think I need to set aside a weekend! ;D

Bless your heart! I'd best not see that movie.

The movie, Hachi, did me in. I think that movie made me cry more than any other I've ever seen. Then when the movie is over, and you think it's safe, they show pics of the real "Hachi" and the tears start again!
 
Oh, I can't watch that. I can't do animal stories - especially dogs. I still haven't seen Marley and Me.

IF, you will need to set aside a weekend. I think because I'm the mom of an only son it was worse. LOL I kept thinking of BabyB while watching it. I'm the same as you - I don't watch a lot of movies because I don't care to. Most don't seem interesting to me. I'd rather read. Lol
