"'This movie is making me angry, very sad, hopeless, and dirty-feeling.'..."

Victoria Jackson emotes over a Judd Apatow movie. There's no real way to controvert crying in the parking lot.

I've twice had the experience of bursting into tears while trying to talk after seeing a movie, but both times it was after sitting through all of a movie that I very much admired. In both cases, I made myself cry by voicing a particular thought about the movie, and each time ? the incidents were 20 years apart ? it was that a man had truly loved a child. Odd that I happen to think of that today, on Father's Day Eve.
