It really is a great movie. But I honestly don't think I can watch it again. I really don't get emotional - but I've always harbored guilt inside because I am very emotionally disconnected from other people and have a tough time showing people I care. My parents have dedicated their lives to their children, and I feel incapable of expressing my gratitude - outside of showering them with lavish gifts. When I saw how Kal Penn treats his family, I suddenly felt like I was watching myself in the movie - and tears rolled down my cheek. then i had a "Seinfeld" moment and audibly wondered about this salty discharge emanating from my eyes.
That's the same exact thing that happened to me!! I'm incapable of showing my parents how much I care, but...watching this, I realized this, and it seems so depressing...
I've read the book and I really enjoyed it. I didn't know about the movie but I'll be sure to chech it out.
