Marley and Me

If you have ever owned a dog you will absolutely love this movie. My goodness, this movie tugs at the heartstrings.

Be prepared to lose the man card during this movie.

What are movies coming to when people thought that Marley and Me was a great film?

It was a decent movie. I enjoyed watching it, but it was long, slow, and bad for the first 1/3 of the movie. When kids came into the picture, the film started to feel real and got better. Definitely tugged at the heart a little bit, but great?!?!

Anybody old enough to remember the ending to:
+ "Old Yeller"
+ The last 15 minutes of "Lassie Come Home".......now those were tearjerkers.

 

[nickwc]

its all opinion there 85. don't hate.

I just really enjoy real life Movies based upon real life stories....so much better than any make believe Superhero Movie, Sci-Fi Thriller, or Gory Murder mystery....just my opinion...:wink:

I had extra water works from that movie. My first dog died from twisted stomoch, really sad movie towards the end. Although any movie with Jennifer Aniston is a good movie with me.

Really funny movie though.

Tried to go but "Sold-Out". Went to Benjamin Button instead It was ok.

Just returned about an hour ago. Wife and three kids 10 & under, 0 dry eyes. Not a great movie, but touching.

Sorry I probably came off kind of strong last night. I really thought it was a good movie. It was funny and pulled at the heart at the end of the movie.

I think the problem for me is that I would never have kept that dog. I lost 2 dogs growing up and it was hard. But Marley was a horrible dog in so man ways. I couldn't get past the fact that they were stupid to keep him for so long

 

[nickwc]

haha yea that is a good point 85. I was thinking the same thing.

I will tell you what, I saw the movie today and I pulled out every trick in the book to avoid crying. For those of you seeing the movie, and afraid of crying infront of people here is what I tried everytime the tears came a-callin':

- Take a drink of your soda, or take down a huge handful of popcorn.
- Think of something really really obsurd...or sing a song you haven't heard in a while in your head.
- Position your head so it looks like your watching the movie, but actually be looking anywhere but the screen. This trick also will work for horror movies.
- Pinch yourself or bite your tounge...takes your mind off what you are watching.
- Think about the SDSU game and remember what true sadness is all about.

Hope these help.

We have a dog that has done a lot of crazy stuff and no matter how mad you get I cannot imagine getting rid of him.

For those of you with kids, would you take them knowing how sad it was? I have family thinking about taking their kids today and I warned them against it. I saw 3 or 4 kids crying 10 minutes after the movie was over, and I could just imagine those same kids crying in bed that night. I don't know, probably a good thing for kids to think about but a hard thing none-the-less.

There were grown men of all ages with glazed over eyes after the movie. I'm sure kids are a complete wreck after this movie.

Probably best to start preparing them for life as a Cyclone fan.

Haha. No but I was pissed that I had to sit in the front fricken row b/c it was so packed and I went to see the movie with my family. I tried to get my wife to go sit up higher with me but I guess all 8 of us had to sit by each other.

Wife, sister in law, and mom cried. I did not, but like I said I can see how many people did. It was sad.
