To any guys on this board: did you cry?

I'm just asking. I think the music during the montage and then the end could make even the most macho man cry. I'm a guy who's turning 21 very shortly and I lost it when I watched it. It was because of Ellie dying (and having a miscarriage) and how she didn't get to fufill her dream. Everything before that was happy and great. Also the fact they knew each other since childhood. I have this great friend who's a girl and we both met when we were 11 back in 2000. She's just a friend though. When I first met her I had a crush on her, lolz. I didn't tell her about it until 2 years ago. haha. She was really flattered though and I understand she wants to be friends. The montage sort of makes me think of our friendship.

Also I admit it I love balloons. I have since I was 3. I have Aspergers and balloons are my main obsession but there are some non Aspie people who have things for balloons too.

So did any "tough" guys try to hold back tears during the montage?

Pixar really knows how to tug on the heartstrings. Remember Toy Story 2 "When she loved me?" Didn't make me cry but it really is a sad song.

Amazing film

Yes!
Because this movie (the story, the music, the atmosphere) reminded me about my mother.

I've only watched about 20 minutes of "Up" so I haven't got to a scene yet that would make me cry. Now I did sit in the back of a theater and cried my butt off watching "Forrest Gump"
