Haven’t seen it in probably 10 years before last night. Had one son then. Now I have 3.
My dad’s getting older everyday. Apparently I am too.
The movie hits hard on the father-son relationship but also touches all family relationships. How can you not get choked up about Uncle Desmond saying “he told me he loved me at your wedding” and seeing the clear effect that Tim’s dad’s one sentence about loving his brother-in-law had on Desmond.
Like I said in the OP it’s an all time great movie disguised as an everyday RomCom.
I also want to win the lottery just to buy their house on the coast.

I don't know. I don't remember how it was marketed, but after seeing it, it's a "Field of Dreams" Father/Son movie, period. The time travel and romcomness is just there to serve the sap. And I'm with a lot of y'all, I've seen it twice--not in 10+ years--and can't bring myself to put it on again. And it's one of only 10 or so physical DVDs I have in the room. My father's still alive. How old do y'all think our sons need to be to watch it with them. With a 70-ish-old father and a 15-year-old-ish son, I'm right in the middle, connecting with both roles. I honestly don't think I could get through it trying to watch it now with either one. The right play may be to let them watch it together. I wonder how that experience would be.
