Marley and Me

[halik]

Why would you go see that idiotic POS? It reminds me of bubble boy... some Hollywood exec owed a favor to someone and a terrible project got greenlit.

good movie

 

[Al Neri]

that movie was pretty damn sad. if you owned a dog at least, can't speak for those who didn't.

 

[SmoochyTX]

No idea what the movie is about except it's around a dog. Doesn't make me interested.

Same goes for that Benjamin Button movie. I like Brad Pitt but have no idea what the hell the movie is about so I'm not interested.

I feel the same way about Marley and Me but I want to see that Benjamin Button story b/c it's about a guy who ages backwards.

Book was great, and I'll definitely be going with the wife at some point.

I know that much from the previews (about BB) but so what? It doesn't look good at all.

My wife wants to go see it on New Years Day. Not sure if I should warn her about the ending or not. Can anyone speak to that without giving it away (unless it's already been given away).

Bubble Boy was amusing. This... I have no interest in.

Haven't watched the movie (nor do I want to) but just from what I've gathered in this thread, the dog dies.

yeah, that is what I am thinking....if this is true, you may want too add "spoilers" in title....but it may not matter b/c i doubt that many will see it. Then again, Owen Wilson can pack a theatre by just showing his turds.

I saw it yesterday, and give it a 6.5 to 7.

To those wondering what it's about, basically it's about a guy who gets a dog with the hopes it will prolong his wife's plan to be a mom. Like most choices in life, it doesn't quite go the way he planned.

The ending really got to me, as I had to do the same about 10 years ago. I wasn't alone, as I saw about 15 others wiping their eyes as we left the theater.

I've never seen Click, but Marley has some funny parts. The dog pretty much does anything he wants, and that makes for some good humor.

I completely agree......it looks like a piece of shit movie that has no clue where it's going. They're advertising it on billboards around Boston making it look like a kid's movie...but the TV ads show it's clearly not. But most adults wouldn't willingly see a movie like that. It's like a kid's movie that's aimed entirely at adults, and fails at both.

Fail? I think not...

The movie was basically about my family, at least in terms of being married with a misbehaving dog and a child (or children, we just have one). Seriously, our dog is about one step down from Marley in terms of behavior, though much of it was in her puppy year which she fortunately outgrew. The scene with them chasing Marley around the house was positively hilarious since I do that frequently.

Anyway, the final portions with Marley getting old were incredibly sad, made even more so by the fact that my 5 year old is going to have to deal with losing our pup when she finally goes. Our dog is 8 now so she's got some years left, but I don't look forward to the day I have to take her to the vet for the last time. I grew up with a dog who was put to sleep when I was 17, and it's a hard thing to take.

I think the next pet is going to be a tortoise or something which outlives us.

I'd say that it's a good movie if you can identify with it, though not exactly uplifting. If you're far from having a family or hate dogs, you'd be better off seeing something else.

How can anyone hate dogs?

I don't "hate" them. Just indifferent. Maybe it comes from living in Portland where everyone flips out about their filthy mutts and they feed them organic free-range dog food and send them to spas.

This movie looks fairly boring. I'd rather watch Dark Knight or Prince Caspian again.

I loved the movie.

I can relate to it very well as my wife and I have a 4 year old lab right now. But I can see non dog people not liking the movie. I have plenty of friends who just aren't big dog people and I don't think they could ever understand the movie as well as someone who has been through life with a dog.

But I thought it was a great movie, really did a good job keeping to the book.
