when i watch this movie you just keep on waiting and waiting... you know you are going to cry, susan sarandon has such a heartfelt moment with her kids... but the line that makes me absolutely bawl.. is the last line when susan sarandon notions to julia roberts and how they will take one with the whole family including julia's character... thats where i lose it
shareYeah I am the same. The movie is very sad and meaningul, but it is the final shot with all of them and the close up on Sarandon and Roberts that makes me cry.
shareI agree!I was just finished watching the movie and I am crying so much. My mom and I really love the movie. So now that she moved I really see how much I miss her.

No i first bawl at the part where Anna shouts when she finds out about the cancer. It makes me bawl and bawl. The last scene makes me start all over again!
"Oh I do like a bit of Gorgonzola"
I dunno.
I mean, sure it was an abysmal movie, but I didn't cry over it . . .
I agree about the waiting and waiting to cry because you just know it's coming. But I lose it at the scene where she's saying goodbye to her childern. Wow i could cry just thinking about it lol. It's most likely due to the fact that i've actually been through that situation, and everything she says is just so on point. Love this movie.
sharei'm just watching this on tv for the 3rd time and can feel myself welling up now. it's at the part when both the women are sitting in the restaurant and talking about the girl getting married. so teary, lol
sharenooo the bit that gets me is:
'Look down the road to her wedding. I'm in a room alone with her, fixing her veil, fluffing her dress, telling her no woman has ever looked so beautiful. And my fear is she'll be thinking, "I wish my mom was here."'
'And mine is... she won't.'
GOD I'm getting all teary eyed just writing that!
'You are my life now.'
i teared up at that part too...specifically when she was giving anna her present, because it made me imagine myself and my mom in that situation, and i love my mom...so it really got me.
shareI'm watching this right now on ABC Family. The scene when Ben and Anna get their presents from their mom made me cry. Not a lot of movies make me cry, but this one hit me hard.
Madness is doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
Yeah, I just got finished watching "Stepmom" on ABC Family, too. I saw it before on VHS, years ago. I got the sniffles during several scenes, but I don't think "Stepmom" is nearly so intense as Julia Roberts' death scene in "Steel Magnolia's," or Debra Winger's death scene in "Terms of Endearment."
"You can't HANDLE the truth!" Jack Nicholson, "A Few Good Men."
For me the scene in this movie when she is saying good bye to her children is right up there with the Debra Winger scene in Terms of Endearment for definite quintessential tear jerkers. I cannot watch either without crying my eyes out. So so sad.

The first time I saw this movie, a got teary eyed a couple times throughout the movie, but the time that really made me burst, and still makes me tear up thinking about, is when Susan Sarandon's character tells her son they'll see each other in their dreams. Just such a touching part, it's making me tear up right now.
shareI watched it just now and I actually started crying when Sarandon's character is dancing and singing with her kids "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". It just reminded me of how my mom, my sisters and I are doing stuff like that so often. From then on, I cried so much...This movie is SO wonderful because it's just so realistic. I just love it.
shareThis is one of those movies that makes me bawl every time, and at various points throughout. I cry when Sarandon sees Julia singing to Ben in the hospital, I cry when she throws her laundry basket, I cry at the "they can have us both" dinner scene, and then I really start going when the Christmas scenes start.
What's funny is that as a kid (around 10 years old when this movie came out), I used to cry for the kids, imagining the pain of losing my mother. And now that I'm grown up, I cry more for Sarandon, who has to leave her children and won't be there to help them through life as she yearns to. Ugh...so sad.
I hear the drizzle of the rain. Like a memory it falls.
I start when they have the tearful talk at the diner, when the picture line comes up, I'm sobbing big time!
