Marley and Me

I went to see the movie Marley and Me yesterday. I had read the book a million years ago and remembered that I had enjoyed it, and it's been forever and a day since I had been to see a movie. The commercials looked funny and I really like Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson is pretty funny too. I thought, oh this will be a great light hearted show to see. I love Marley, his antics hilarious, unless you're the one who has to clean up after him. The one thing I forgot, I cried when I read the book. I found the movie to be even more intense, I couldn't just hit the pause button and step away from the screen when I felt the tears welling up, like I would set the book down when I got to the emotional parts. I must have teared up a dozen times during the movie. Wow, what has happened to me? I've turned into such a sap. Oh well, I know I wasn't the only one. Anyone who has ever owned a pet can relate to how attached we get and how emotionally invested we are in these creatures.

    I've learned long ago to stay away from movies with animals. I always end up in tears.

    Since, I read Marley & Me and cried my eyes out at the ending, I knew I could not go see that movie in a theater. I must see it in the comfort of my own home with a box of tissues!

    Thanks for the warning! We usually wait and rent movies instead of the theatre. Will get that box of kleenex.

    Hm, will put this one on the movie queue. But if there's a cute puppy involved I'll definitely cry. lol
