The film Antwone Fisher has had men in America weeping in the aisles. It tells the true life story of a man who finds his volatile temper is a result of repressed anger at the parents who abandoned him as a child. The film opens here next month, so will it have the same affect on British men?
We speak first to Randolph Cornelius, Professor of Psychology & Director of the American Cultural Program at Vassar, who has looked at the phenomenon of men and women crying in response to films in the States.
Lorien Haynes, film critic & lecturer at BAFTA and film critic James Mottram join Jenni to discuss this phenomena and ask what would be the ultimate male weepie?
Antwone Fisher will be released on the 16th May across the UK, Certificate 15
