Did anyone cry?

I cry every time I see it. One of my mother's friends was a member of the league and was a consultant on the film, so I think of my mom a lot when I watch this movie.

The ending and when I hear "This use to be my playground" by Madonna. Strange, that is one song she has never known to perform in concert.

The thing about Madonna is that she is well known for not really caring to look at the past very much. Always moving forward, so to speak. Her song has a very nostalgic vibe to it which I would assume she doesn't care to revisit.
As for her supposedly not really enjoying the making of the film - I always felt she was unfairly judged for that (gosh, the reader responses online are just brutalsome for the sake of just trashing her for being Madonna). She was venting to a friend at the time. One tiny note of frustration leaks out to the world and she got a lot of hate directed at her for that. Granted, according to Jon Lovitz, filming was brutal. The players were out in 100 degree plus heat often. Madonna was known to be on the set hours before many people and often staying a few hours after she was not needed. I heard she'd actually run a few miles first thing in the morning before the heat set in.
Madonna has since made amends of sorts with Chicagomaking nice with Oprah and visiting the city on every one of her world tours every 3 years.
