Aw, thanks for this thread. I spent about 80% of the film with wet cheeks, cuz I’m a total sappy fool. And girl, I had forgotten about the part where
Spoiler:


Not sure if you’re going to tear up though, since you’re such a dude -the strong silent type. The performances by the cast were just great. Almost every character made me feel:

I hope you enjoy it too!

You know me so well. I did tear up a little. I was a mess when Auggie first cried in front of his mama. The rest of the movie made me feel empowered and hopeful. I loved the movie so much.

I wasn’t necessarily upset; I was just moved by everything.

Some movies based on books usually don’t do the book justice, but I think this one did.

Today has been an emotional day. Unrelated, but I came home to find out the actress that played Tess in Touched By An Angel passed away.

I felt the same, Miros. This was a great movie adaptation from a book.

Cece, I’m not that familiar with Touched by an Angel, but may the actress who played Tess rest in peace.

Auggie’s mom did the right thing by pushing him out of his comfort zone, shoving him out of the nest; though it wasn’t always easy for any of them, especially in the beginning, it was all for the best. I also enjoyed that we were able to empathize with other characters as well.

Quin, I hope you enjoy the film!

I loved that we got to see things from the point of views of other characters. Especially from her sister. I loved her bits. The actress played a young teen version of Kara Danvers on Supergirl so I might be a little biased.

Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson were such great parents and I loved hearing Julia talk about how much she has learned from the film.

Omg Cee Cee! I so didn't realized you posted about Della Resse passing away. I loved her on Touched By An Angel too and her singing and in Harlem Knights too. I was crying yesterday that she passed away.

Thanks Miros. I'm excited to see this next Tuesday.

Awesome I'm glad you both liked the movie and it does look good Jade.

I own all the seasons of Touched By An Angel and have seen some episodes a few times. It's so good. The show makes me emotional.
