I very rarely go to the movies, but since I loved this book so much back when I read it, I decided that I was going to go see the movie regardless! I had planned to drag the charming comedian, but trying to schedule movies together is pretty impossible, so I found a friend that wanted to go instead. I went yesterday for the matinee. I think it has been years since I was at the movie theatre during the afternoon. Anyway, so I try not to get too many expections when I watch a movie that I read the book of because it is really hard to take an entire book and make the movie true to it. They did do a pretty good job, though. There were many laughter moments, you saw Marley at his best and worst, and you watched the growing of the family around him. I think Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson did a good job. The charming comedian loves Jennifer Aniston, so I think he probably would have went happily if I told him that she was in it ahead of time.
All this book and movie does, though, is make me miss my dogs... It's been over a year since I lost Sandy and I still have moments where I wish she was still here. I really hope I am at a place in my life soon where I can get a dog, because I hate not having one!
Thanks for the review. The previews looked good and have thought about seeing it. Can't wait to go now.
ReplyDeleteWell...we went to see it yesterday. As much as I loved the book and even liked the movie, it was sad. So sad, all 3 of my kids were bawling by the end. We lost Ninja in August, and I think I probably shouldn't have taken them to see it. Instead of pointing out all the good memories, it just kind of made them miss him all over again!
ReplyDeleteI really want to go see this, but I just know I will end up sobbing :(
ReplyDeleteYour Sandy was a beautiful girl, I read your previous posts about her and she was a lucky dog to have found such a caring home with you.
It was a sad movie. Everyone in the theatre was crying! I don't cry at movies, but that is just me... Anyway, there was hardly a dry eye in the place. I last Sandy over a year ago, and I still felt like it was too soon. Sandy was still alive when I read the book..
ReplyDeleteI loved the book too. I think I'll go see it with my sister-in-law.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it, Tink! It was pretty good, though I like the book way better. Just sad...
ReplyDeleteSome things in life change with little difference. I always love to see movies with pets. Marley is the perfect person gave this young couple luck. He is full of adventure. Seems to be that pet lovers will appreciate this movie very much I saw on http://www.80millionmoviesfree.com to day fantastic movie for every body I think.
ReplyDeleteI haven't decided if I want to see this movie or not. I cannot bring myself to read the book (reading nonfiction books where animals die in the end upsets me too much).
