The first few minutes of the story, with practically no dialog, might be the best few minutes of storytelling I've ever seen in a movie.

I saw it at the local drive-in (one of two remaining in my area) so you didn't get the same effect as you did during the sad portion of Marley & Me (which I saw in a packed theatre on Christmas Day) but even with that said, the usual din of the drive-in was silent during that portion of the film.
