The Help screening upset Mark Wahlberg

Mark Wahlberg wept uncontrollably as he watched Oscar-tipped movie The Help.

The Departed hunk lets his wife choose the films for his family's movie nights, and he was left in tears after sitting down to view The Help, which documents the civil rights struggle in the 1960s.

He tells Men's Journal, "The last time I really cried a lot? During The Help. I cried about six or seven times. It was the wife's choice, but it was a great movie."
