Me too, which was a surprise since I've seen it twice before.
shareEvery time. I'm so easily manipulated. I wonder if the movie audiences stood up and applauded at the end? I would have.
shareI always get teary eyed at the end when Rip Torn says... "Brave enough for you?". It proves that no matter what, it's never too late!

Yup...and I never cry at movies. Albert Brooks is so good in his role.
shareThe ending was moving, but predictable, so I didn't get as choked up as might be expected.
What did move me almost to tears were some of the scenes from Brooks's life that struck a little close to home for me. We all have moments in life that we regret and wish to forget-- imagine having to watch them all over again. The looks on Albert Brooks's face each time the chair rotates back around are heartbreaking– you can see his pain.

Yes.
Every time.
You bet I did.
shareWow.. I cried just now... I've seen it a couple times before,, but not in the last 15 years or so. I don't remember crying before, but I guess now that I'm 40 I can relate more to the theme of the movie.

I was guessing this movie hasn't been on cable for 15 years or so & I've been patiently waiting for it.
Any idea why some movies are rarly seen on TV & others are on almost monthly?

I know what you mean.. I downloaded this movie off a torrent site, but you can use services like Netflix, HULU or Amazon Prime. I got rid of my cable service a few years ago. I have no regrets and I spend a lot less each month.

Every time. Like a damn baby.

This one always gets me. I think a lot of it has to do with the excellent score.

We are doomed.
No, I didn't cry. Not even remotely close. It would never have occurred to me in a million years that anybody would. Like it was obviously an attempted manipulation but I would have guessed the ultimate goal might have been a bit of, I dunno, internal clapping ??
I guess because the relationship between the characters never seemed like anything but a contrivance to me with Meryl laughing too hard at every minor thing he did, while being blind to every instance of his ongoing spinelessness. Did not ring true that she was so bonkers in love.
Then the angle with the big brains deciding that one act would over-ride a lifetime of, again, spinelessness - also did not ring true for me.
I always do.
