Is this a movie that makes more men cry than women?

Because judging from the comments here, that is totally the impression I get. All these guy viewers saying they hardly ever cry at a movie, but this one got them big time. Yet, women, who might seem to cry more easily at a sad movie, don't have as much to say about this one.

Has anybody noticed this? Any theories to share?

Maybe I should watch it sometime. Sometimes I love a good cry. My two saddest movies I can think I found right now are Umberto D and Forbidden Games. Then there was devastating documentary about 2 male partners shown in the later stages of AIDS, called "Silverlake Life". There are couple scenes where I just started hyperventilating. Oh, dear. I will never hear "You are My Sunshine" the same way again.
