Did anyone cry?

i teared up during the discussion between cole and his mom in the car near the end where he tells her about talking to grandma and that she watched her dance. very moving scene.

I definitely bawled out crying in the scene bw Cole and his mom in the car. And had tear up in a few other scenes.

Yes. When Cole and his mom are in the car following his play. When he tells her about Grandma. Moving.

I cry during the scene where Cole asks his mother if she's "not very mad."

I almost always tear up in scenes where people grieve over their passed loved ones..

The look the mom gave when the kid talked about grandmom got me close, but when you realize the wife is grieving for dead hubby at end sealed it

It's hard to watch this movie and not cry. When you think about it, the whole thing is very sad. One of the saddest movies ever. I cry mostly for the character of Cole because of the things he must endure. But the scene that really gets me is the one after his mother sends him away from the dinner table, and she is trying to get the dog out from behind the laundry basket and Cole come in and asks if she is not mad at him could he sleep in her room. Then she holds him and he starts to cry which makes her cry.
Devastating. And acted to perfection. It still boggles my mind that Osment did not win the Oscar for this. He is perfection.

I cry buckets every time. Especially at the end, when Malcolm realizes he is dead.

I am a widow; I lost my husband at a relatively young age, and the complex grief one goes through just rips you apart. Even after all the years since his passing, I still maintain a shelf of his belongings and four photos with a candle. On certain significant days, anniversaries and such, I sit in his favorite chair, near his belongings, watch this movie or another few special movies that were significant to us, and just grieve. It is the only way I can walk around and act normal on other days.

Part of me hopes he is still with me in some sense, like Malcolm is with his wife, and the other part of me hopes he is not trapped in some bizarre half-life, that he is simply gone.

I have learned how to live with the loss, but the scar will always be there.

That car scene though... Jesus.
