This is the biggest tearjerker...


since Titanic most likely. I dunno if it's just a general trend of any Disney flick, but every actor was weeping and crying in this one, even the rugged and manly seamen from the tanker. I've got nothing against seeing emotions on screen, but when it's overdone till the the face gets blue, it just becomes like a silly parody of a real life event. Oh, and Chris Pine can't act for *beep* that's for sure...

I think you mixed something up, Titanic was a tear-jerker because it makes people cry - not because people in it cry.

Other than that, I agree.
This movie was a huge let down and I had to force myself to finish it.

Yeah you've got the expression mixed up.
A "tearjerker" movie is one that makes the the viewer cry.

Tearjerker does not mean a movie with characters in it who are crying.

Watch "Lion". It will definitely make you cry :)
