OK, all I've ever said about parenthood being wonderful and exciting and fun? I take it back. It's heartwrenching. It makes you (almost) burst into tears in a public place while watching a silly little Disney movie, and hoping your kids don't notice and ask you what's wrong, 'cause they won't understand until they have children of their own.

::sniffle::


...and I highly recommend both movie and parenthood, if you don't mind turning into a complete sap.

Saw it today, cried at the end when Andy drove away, decided it wasn't a kids movie at all and certainly not for the age of the kids who were watching it with us, and came home feeling the absolute need to hug all my toys multiple times and tell them I love them.

OMG I thought that so many times! Granted, mostly during the creepy parts (the baby freaked me right out, and the monkey's going to give me nightmares) but also during a lot of the Andy-growing-up parts.

Then again, there was a kid in the theatre (less than seven years old) who kinda made me wonder. The part where Woody ends up in Bonnie's house? Kid behind us says, "She's just like Andy was! She's playing with him just like Andy did!" Andy gives his mom a hug: "How come he's taller than his mom?" Andy gets into his car: "He's driving his own car?!" Andy plays with Bonnie: "He's playing with his toys one last time, isn't he?"

and came home feeling the absolute need to hug all my toys multiple times and tell them I love them.
Yeah, me too :) :) :)

I don't have kids and I still got a touch weepy at the end. Excellent movie!

It really was. Not sure it was appropriate for some of the kids watching - the monkey nearly made me want to hide under my seat - but excellent nonetheless!

Nice icon, btw :D :D :D
