Title: Marley and Me Post by: Broughden on January 03, 2009, 10:19:46 PM Just saw this two nights ago. My wife and I cried our eyes out in the theater. Very good and very emotional movie. You are most likely to enjoy it if you are 30+ and married, and or have a dog.
If you aren't at that, middle aged-married-kids or want to have kids-dog stage...you probably wont connect emotionally with this movie. Seriously Jennifer Aniston's best ever. Title: Re: Marley and Me Post by: Ironwood on January 04, 2009, 04:11:55 AM Way to set the bar high.

Title: Re: Marley and Me Post by: Brogarn on January 04, 2009, 05:55:49 AM It's exactly what Broughden said. The wife and I definitely enjoyed it, but we fit into his category pretty much perfectly.
Title: Re: Marley and Me Post by: ashrik on January 04, 2009, 10:15:24 PM I've read a review or two for this movie, doesn't it seem misrepresented in the trailers (even more so than is typical)?
Title: Re: Marley and Me Post by: Triforcer on January 04, 2009, 10:59:11 PM They've done this movie before. Its called Old Yeller.

Yeah. I've had a lot of customers who have been unhappy because they thought it would be more of a family comedy. Title: Re: Marley and Me Post by: Paelos on January 04, 2009, 11:22:48 PM The movie is fucking sad. Don't see this unless you want to experience said emotion.
Title: Re: Marley and Me Post by: Ironwood on January 05, 2009, 03:08:08 AM They've done this movie before. Its called Old Yeller. Hmmm. Isn't that kinda a spoiler ? Title: Re: Marley and Me Post by: FatuousTwat on January 05, 2009, 03:23:00 AM I've read a review or two for this movie, doesn't it seem misrepresented in the trailers (even more so than is typical)? Yeah. I've had a lot of customers who have been unhappy because they thought it would be more of a family comedy. I want someone to make a horrible gore-fest movie like Saw or any of its copycats, and market it as a family comedy. It would make me happy. Title: Re: Marley and Me Post by: IainC on January 05, 2009, 03:40:22 AM My wife loved the book but she won't go and see the film because it will make her cry. I have to be really careful about animal films, I bought her a NatGeo DVD for Christmas about a baby polar bear and she can only watch it to halfway through because the polar bear's brother dies. She'll watch people getting fucked up quite happily but she can't watch bad things happen to animals.
Title: Re: Marley and Me Post by: Ookii on January 05, 2009, 04:03:24 AM I've read a review or two for this movie, doesn't it seem misrepresented in the trailers (even more so than is typical)? Yeah. I've had a lot of customers who have been unhappy because they thought it would be more of a family comedy. Ha, and how is that your fault? Title: Re: Marley and Me Post by: Merusk on January 05, 2009, 05:57:47 AM Hm, I'm not a dog person and Old Yeller hasn't made me cry since I was 10. Maybe I'll drag the wife to it later.
Title: Re: Marley and Me Post by: Broughden on January 06, 2009, 06:42:06 AM They've done this movie before. Its called Old Yeller. This is better. SPOILER RESPONSE.... I've read a review or two for this movie, doesn't it seem misrepresented in the trailers (even more so than is typical)? Yeah. I've had a lot of customers who have been unhappy because they thought it would be more of a family comedy. But yes...we cried a lot as well. Title: Re: Marley and Me Post by: Bunk on January 07, 2009, 06:38:55 AM Yet every trailer makes it out to be generic slpstick family comedy 101. The trailers basically made me think "Well, I guess Aniston's career is over, doing borderline direct to video family comedies".
Maybe they were done by the same group that released the trailers for that heartwarming romance movie, Zack and Miri. Title: Re: Marley and Me Post by: pxib on January 08, 2009, 04:24:05 PM The screenwriter, Scott Frank (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0291082/), is one of my favorites. Sounds like the sort of movie I could take my mom to. Maybe I will.
