We’re happily sitting there watching it, pizza on our laps (on plates), laughing (it was pretty funny), and I’m thinking, “Wow. I’m watching a feel-good movie with my adorable husband. Life doesn’t get any better than this.” And then something happens in the film, and I lose my sh*t. (Sorry, Grammie. And Mom. And all of Mom’s friends.) It takes me something like 30 minutes to stop crying, too.
Needless to say, we never made it to the pub or the Hudson River.
It’s not even like it was a particularly sad movie! I mean, yeah, it had its tear-jerker moment, but it wasn’t The Notebook or anything. I would say that it was actually a rather good movie–funny, witty, uplifting–and I’d even go as far as to recommend it to my family and friends!
Movies don’t usually get me like this, so I’m a little bit weirded out by my reaction. ;) (Maybe I just needed a good cry?) The last time I reacted similarly was back in 2007 when P.S. I Love You came out. (I was a hot mess for at least a week. I felt as though I’d had my own heart broken and chewed up and spit out. I think it had something to do with the guy’s Irish accent.)
Luckily, Mitch was completely understanding about our “ruined” date night, haha. But make me feel better, as I’m still a little teary about that darn movie. (#truth) When was the last time you cried your eyes out over a film?!
I had the exact same reaction to p.s. I love you. I sat in my room and cried for hours, for no real apparent reason. And Toy Story 3. The part near the end when they all almost die and they start holding hands . . . It gets me every time. Your husband sounds like such a wonderful guy to be supportive of you! I know some of my male friends have hysterically laughed when I get worked out about a movie (or news story, or sad commercial). Sometimes though it’s nice to have a long cry; you feel relieved after.

Awww it’s totally understandable. I’m the same way I get so into the movie I feel as though it’s in real life and I actually know these characters. I cried the other day watching “The Butler” such an amazing movie. And I cried like a baby for A Walk To Remember love Nicholas Sparks books turned into movies.
Xoxo,

Aww, I have had that reaction to a few movies in the past too – The Notebook, The Green Mile and Benjamin Button…it’s awful! On a happy note, I love the way you mixed colors in this look – totally unexpected pairing but it is amazing :)

UP slaughtered me. I cried and cried and cried. My boyfriend held up pretty well but I made a mess of myself at the theater.
Oh man, I don’t think I’m gonna watch that movie now lol I think the last time I cried a lot after a movie was with Marley and Me… Books tend to get me more often…I think I cried myself to sleep after reading One Day…couldn’t even bring myself to see the movie!
OMG PS I love you kills me every time. But I’m sort of a crier when it comes to stuff like that. I tear up during ASPCA commercials!
Ha now I must watch this movie! I guess it triggered something in you in some way- glad Mitch handled it well:)
That is such a funny story! It’s going to be a great story to share many years from now when you can have a good laugh about it!

Loving the pop of pink – I need to be wearing more color these days!
ahh I feel like such a robot whenever I see girls crying watching movies. I know that’s how I’m supposed to react and I never do though. It makes me wonder if I have feelings at all haha.
It was so nice of your husband to be so understanding. You are a lucky girl!
And finally, on a sartorial note, this outfit gave me quite a few ideas on how to wear my bright pink blouse to work. You are so stylish!
Awww I know how it feels, i totally disagree with the song “Big Girls Don’t Cry” cause we do :D. Bawled my eyes out everytime i see movies like that esp. in the movie “Beaches” i couldn’t stop crying. And also, i like your posts these days, they are more personal and we get a glimpse of your life out there in the city. thank you. And your outfit is unexpectedly beautiful, i don’t think i can pull one off like that cause the combination of colors are much more interesting w/c turned out sophisticated and fun. :D Ha!
Nicholas Sparks movies are incredible. Love your Kate Spade bag. You carry it so well.

Oh, I love movies that give me a good cry (stepmom, anyone?) And love the outfit, too! xox
its crazy but sometimes i tear up even in tv shows. it really is crazy how close we feel to made up characters but in someway we see parts of ourselves in them.
love this look and i love the handbag so much. scallops can never do you wrong.

I’ve been meaning to watch that movie! I am such a crier when it comes to sad movies. Maybe I’ll save this one when I’m alone!
