Guest Review: Marley & Me (2008)

Submitted by Byrdman

I cried around two-thirds of the movie to the end of it. And I don’t mean holding back tears, I mean I was out and out moaning and sobbing, that’s how much it touched me. Anyone who has ever loved a dog or who has had a connection with an animal would have the same emotional experience.

The kids in the theater laughed at the funny dog scenes, and got real quiet after halfway through it.

The last phrase of the movie is very touching as well. Anyone who sees this movie will appreciate their treaured pet and it helps you realize that they are not going to be here forever.

I had read the book previously, and although the movie is true to the overall theme, the focus on the movie is about the marriage strains between Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston, who by the way, won’t be winning any Oscars for their roles. The book version was more focused on Marley.

Anyway, I strongly recommend you see this movie.

    This should NOT be a G movie; it should be PG-13. My 7 year old son was crying the whole time. There was nudity, vulgar language, a stabbing, and an onscreen death.

    SHAME on the studio for not making this PG-13.

    This time around I realized that the raccoon was free from suffering now. It's a shame its life had to end like that- it was blameless; humans built roads in the middle of his ancestor's forest. Progress and technology broke that raccoon's legs and took his life tonight. But now the suffering has ended for it. I mourned the raccoon and the way […]
