I have not been affected this much by a movie in a long time

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2004)

I think any guy who has unresolved father issues is going to be affected by this movie. Normally, when we go see a movie like this, I grab some extra napkins because my VSO will get puddle-eyed. She did, but I wound up crying like a baby at the ending and using up all the napkins.
This is an absolutely wonderful movie. Ewan McGregor has really developed into a fine actor and performances like this will insure that he does not get typecast as Obi-Wan Kenobi. And I had never seen Matthew McGrory in a movie before. He is a good actor; you really get into his character as the giant.
Go see this movie, several times. I'll be the guy in the 10th row sniffling and sobbing.
