Has anyone seen this movie yet? I just finished watching it tonight and of course I ended up crying like a baby at the ending. Of course I have had a hellashish week (2 weeks) and have spent more time crying and worrying about way too much. But the movie was great!!

    Not yet! Still in theaters! If you don't want to cry in a theater, wait til it comes out on DVD.

    Glad you posted this. I was thinking of going tomorrow. I'm ok with waiting for the DVD though :smile:

    Yeah, I saw it a few weeks ago - all I'll say (so I don't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it) is that the ending is a surprise! :glasses:

    Yes it is and that is why I didn't say anything about it. People told me it was good and it was really great! But you will cry and I was warned. I talk tough but it made me cry!! Lol!

    I also thought "Doubt" was a very good movie - but the content is not for everyone, and the movie was depressing and dark, yet done very well.

    "Milk" was the best movie I've seen in a long time, but again, its decidedly not for everyone.

    DH & I both liked Gran Torino. When he talked about being in Korea it was just like what a neighbor told us it was like.

    We usually wait for movies to come out on dvd. I just can't see spending money on some of them. And I make better popcorn!

    My hubby gets free movie tickets from work, or I wouldn't be going either. I can justify spending all that money to go see a movie in the theaters.

    It is really worth seeing! I wasn't too sure when I saw the previews but it was so much better than I expected!!
  • My hubby and I have been thinking about seeing this movie, but hadn't really heard a lot about it. I definitely want to see it now.

    I heard Milk was REALLY graphic. The way the person described it to me was "gay porn, masquerading as a political movie". Would you say that was an exxageration or was it really over the top?
