Why did the movie where Jim Parsons gives a handjob make me cry?
Travis BurgessJan 1, 2023Not sure if I threw up because I’m still hungover from NYE or because I was crying so hard I couldn’t catch my breath. My guess is the latter, but honestly it’s probably a combination of both. Substack Week 1 Recap
Joe ADec 7, 2022This is one of those films that’s genetically engineered specifically to make you cry. My wife even said on the way to the theater, “I can’t wait to cry.” It’s safe to say that this film delivers on that promise. Most of our audience was sniveling by the end. It’s a tender…

Cried with 100 gay men in the theater while the macho security guy in the back sobbed the loudest
GraceDec 5, 2022I feel like a whole mess after this. It really hit hard in the feels. So sweet and adorable. Great performances from its leads. Jim Parsons was so good and such a standout. He really is a talented actor. Enjoyed it a lot.

I let out a horrifying yelp when Antoni Porowski appeared on screen
Artemis likedSpoiler AlertThis movie starts off happy and funny, but it quickly becomes sad. I tend to avoid movies and shows that have anything to do with cancer, and I had no clue what this movie was about when I started it! But it was good! And very sad! 8/10
Cherri lovedSpoiler AlertOne of the cutest saddest gay movies ever I am surprised I haven’t seen more people talk about this movie. It’s incredibly sad with such truthfulness to it, but the comedy makes it just a fantastic movie loved every minute of it. 9/10

What a win for queer rep especially in the rom com niche. A heartfelt story that will likely leave you in a puddle of tears. Such great performances all across the board and paired with a beautiful screenplay.
Joey lovedSpoiler AlertSo sad but a 10/10 movie

- Clay Werner likedSpoiler Alert
8.3 - there’s nothing surprising, as the title alludes, but it’s a great love story. Equal parts heartbreaking & heartwarming. Parsons & Aldridge’s chemistry is solid. Could have skipped one subplot, but I’m always a sucker for emotional drama & recommend for anyone needing a cry
Becca likedSpoiler AlertI don't know if I like Parson's acting mainly because I watched too much big bang theory but also because of the Muppet movie where he is the human version of a Muppet and now all I see is the emotion limits of that in his roles.
User user634344731 likedSpoiler AlertI don’t usually watch romance stories a lot but this was excellent. Great acting, drama with family issues and relationship issues that many can relate to. I liked that it did not involve relationship issues that were violent.

The movie does not beat you over the head with the tragedy. Rather a love story without the happily ever after that made it sweet and sorrowful.

Many of the scenes here seem to have been shot in a spirit of tense desperation; the comedy doesn’t land, the romance takes too long to get going, and the tearjerking scenes are spoiled by a meta framework that makes Showalter’s job even more difficult.

It made me cry at the end, but my tears were as canned and untrustworthy as the sound of a sitcom laugh track. I could barely remember what I had just watched, only that it was often honest enough to make me want to be with my family but never specific enough to justify the fact that I wasn’t.

Where the drama is headed is never in doubt, and the steps it takes to get there are often familiar. Yet by this time we are sufficiently invested in the couple to care deeply. If anything, the intrusion of mortality makes the relationship more believable as both Parsons and Aldridge (Epix’s Pennyworth) imbue their scenes with warmth and heart, regret and exquisite sadness.
