12. I'm a 57 yr old man and it teared me up.
It just had some scenes that tugged at my emotions in ways I had forgotten.

3. I Cried my eyes out at the end that movie.
Beware SPOILERS

That was so cool how the son had to end his final story. I have a 5 year old and I get chills every time I think about that movie.

I thought it was going to be sappy, but was totally surprised how it caught me. I could watch it again.

13. Wasn't that good?
I love a well-told story.

It was filmed here in Alabama, and I have friends who were in it, but I got so caught up in the movie I forgot to look for them.

15. I just saw it with my mom a week ago.
I cried off and on through the entire movie. The ending was so perfect. I thought about this movie off and on for several days after. And I'm not a passionate fan of film. This one was wonderful.

I always see a couple of movies with my mom when I make the trip up north to visit her; she's the big movie fan. This time, we couldn't agree on anything in theaters we both wanted to see, so we rented videos and did pay per view. We also saw Calendar girls, which I really liked, and The Last Samurai, which was ok. I guess.
