THIS MOVIE MADE ME CRY!


...twice. Especially when the Rob Thomas song kicked in at the end. Everything was so perfect, coming together and everything... So sweet.

I've seen this movie so many times that I've lost count. I cry every single time.

I cry, because Cornelius/Lewis leaves the orphanage, his classmates, the school and his neighborhood.

I cry, because as children, we were all once so wide-eyed with dreams of winning a science fair or making that winning catch in a baseball game.

I cry, because no matter how important it is "to keep moving forward", we can never forget the past and all the happy or sad feelings associated with it.

Maybe one day, I can finally watch this movie without crying.

It totally made my eyes all moist...

Yep. I thought that a large portion of the film felt a little dull, but the last 20 minutes is so powerful that I had to choke back tears.

I agree, just watching the ending made me watery eyes. I think they did it on purpose, and then throwing in the Disney quote was just the last nail in the box.

me too - especially the ending when he came back to the past to meet his mother but decided not to change his fate, also when he goes to his new home with his adopted parents to see his lab and the song was touching too adding the emotion

I didn't cry, but I had this wave of happy/sad feeling hit me when the final part of the movie played out and I'm usually annoyed by Rob Thomas' voice. But the song, the way he sung it, how/when it was used, and the Walt Disney quote at the end were absolutely perfect.

This movie is outstanding and truly underrated. It goes down as one of my personal all-time favorites, especially from Disney.

Peace out.

I'm probably older that most of you all here (not wanting to jump to assumptions). My wife and I watched it on the Disney Channel here last night and she fell asleep on my lap before the ending came, which I'm glad of because I wouldn't have wanted her to see me with watery eyes ha ha ha.

Fantastic film with a very strong poignant message for all of you kids out there and a few us adults as well.

For once, maybe someone will call me 'Sir' without adding 'You're making a scene'...

i remember seeing this late night, all alone and bawling. Sometimes you just need a little reassurance that life will be better. Great movie
