Anyone read the book?

 

[Skratchy_Seal]

I've read the book and it's really good, especially if you are a pet owner yourself. I don't really read books, either.

 

[Beaver]

Great book. I will see this movie.

Great movie, Me and the wife saw it on new years. Loved it.

I'm waiting for the Shane review on this one.

 

[conraddobler]

I can't express the level of emotional hijacking this movie does to you.

It's not a bad movie but.....

I'm waiting for the Shane review on this one.

Average. It was funny in parts. Most of the movie wasnt even about the damned dog IMO. Is pretty sad too.

 

[Linderbee]

Sigh...I want to see this; mostly because my dog, Majerle, died 2 years ago...not sure I could take it, though.

What the hell, my wife got me to go to this and I expected a funny comedy.... boy was I wrong. This movie makes you feel like crap as a dog lover its just sad and its more about marriage and death of a beloved family pet. It was pretty good but all in all wish I didn't watch it felt like complete crap afterward, and my wife was a crying emotional mess.

You couldn't trust me on this.

I was crying and I don't cry and what was funnier is that my wife refuses to go to dog movies for one reason, we were sure that reason would not be in this movie, we were wrong.

I was laughing because the kids sat between us and I knew if I felt that bad she must of been near death and so I was laugh crying and my kids thought I flipped a lid.

Yeah, I'll probably save this for some "I'm horribly depressed & I want to make myself feel even more miserable" night.

Though, I haven't had one of those in a good long while...might not ever see this one. Still want to, though.

Alex and I finally saw this movie last night (Alex picked it, I didn't want to watch because I knew what would happen at the end).

We have two labs (a chocolate and a white) that combined, could make up Marley - Miggy, the chocolate, is very head strong, and loves stealing socks, underwear, etc. AJ, the white, loves shredding everything - shoes, boxes, blankets, pillows, etc.

Alex ended up a wreck at the end - he lost a dog similar to Marley several years ago, and it reminded himi of that.

 

[Beaver]

I've never been able to watch this movie. Reading the book was enough.

 

[Shaggy]

This movie came out about a year after I had to put down my nine year old golden retriever due to kidney failure. I knew what the endng was going to be and I told myself I just couldn't watch it as it would remind me of putting her down. Still haven't watched it and probably never will.

I saw it in the theaters under similar circumstances... It was good, but I will never watch the movie again.

Seriously if you've ever had to put a pet down spare yourself from this movie.

 

[Covert Rain]

You know how many people I know watched this movie after something emotional happened in their own lives? I think this movie was a magnet for people going through stuff. LOL.

I thought the movie was good but could have been great had it not dragged on some places. My wife and I really liked the movie but we can't watch it because she balls like Niagara falls when she watches it.
