    My Girl will do that to you. I walked into the theater a 6-year-old boy and walked out an 80-year-old, world-weary war vet, like Matt Damon at the end of Saving Private Ryan.

      No shit. The filmmakers were really like, “let’s give all these kids a bunch of trauma. Nothing like the sobbing of the under 10 crowd to pump us up!”

        Shit, I just rewatched it this past weekend and at 42 years of age it still brought me to tears. Just absolutely losing my shit bawling. Goddammit.

          My sister watched it with her daughter (who I think is like 8). At the end of the film, my sister was in floods of tears, and her daughter was pissing herself laughing.

          Running around the house going “His glasses, he can’t see without his glasses!”, doing the accent and everything.
