DO you have children? If not then frankly your opinion is worthless in regards to the inappropriate content of this film. It was rated PG and targeted at families with young children. When you have your own kids then you can judge what is appropriate for them. And this review is part of "research" for a film - it was written to let people know about it. And Dan, yes, exactly - we own pets to "enrich our lives" and a pet that disrupts my household and my family does NOT enrich my life. And yes, dogs should be disciplined and obey their owners. I do have a dog and have had dogs in the past. They were always loved AND WELL BEHAVED due to my training. So take your sanctimonious crap elsewhere. I've had it with people that put animals at the same level as people - absolutely and unequivocally HAD it. Of COURSE animals should not be mistreated, but that doesn't mean I or my family as to suffer or put up with an animal that: 1. Destroys my home. 2. Endangers my family or others. If people are too stupid and/or lazy to train their dogs properly, well, then they're stupid and lazy. Ever watch an episode of "The Dog Whisperer?" Or do you think that Cesar Milan is "cruel" to dogs and that he shouldn't be allowed near them either. And Steven, if your only criteria for a movie being "good" is that it makes you cry, that makes you a pretty poor judge of film. I'm done with this thread. Vic Dan and Ryan,

Are you parents? DO you have children? If not then frankly your opinion is worthless in regards to the inappropriate content of this film. It was rated PG and targeted at families with young children. When you have your own kids then you can judge what is appropriate for them.

And this review is part of “research” for a film – it was written to let people know about it.

And Dan, yes, exactly – we own pets to “enrich our lives” and a pet that disrupts my household and my family does NOT enrich my life. And yes, dogs should be disciplined and obey their owners.

I do have a dog and have had dogs in the past. They were always loved AND WELL BEHAVED due to my training.

So take your sanctimonious crap elsewhere.

I’ve had it with people that put animals at the same level as people – absolutely and unequivocally HAD it. Of COURSE animals should not be mistreated, but that doesn’t mean I or my family as to suffer or put up with an animal that:

1. Destroys my home.
2. Endangers my family or others.

If people are too stupid and/or lazy to train their dogs properly, well, then they’re stupid and lazy. Ever watch an episode of “The Dog Whisperer?” Or do you think that Cesar Milan is “cruel” to dogs and that he shouldn’t be allowed near them either.

The movie made me cry, which means it instilled some emotion in me. It means I "believed" the characters. That means - it's a well done film. Everyone talking about how they "cried" and how it was such a "terribly done" film. If you cried - mission accomplished. You were supposed to. This review is an example of a poorly written piece based on nothing but conservative moral values and lack of preparation. Before writing a review, try to learn a little something about what you are writing about - and work it in with context. If there was something mechanically wrong with the film (poor acting, poor scripting, disjointed editing - boring), then fine. I get it. But you are basing this on the fact that it came out on Christmas Day. So what were you expecting? Baby Jesus to make a happy cameo at the end and cure all death as we know it? Kids have to put pets down - and a dog's life...it's unfortunately far too short. The fact that people were "crying hysterically" means that you can all relate to what this movie portrays. That is the first sign of a film well-done. It instilled a PHYSICAL REACTION in you. Very poorly written review. I loved the book - and I loved the movie, and yes - I cried hysterically as well - as if Marley was my own dog. Terrible review. The movie made me cry, which means it instilled some emotion in me.

Clearly - the writer is NOT a dog person. Dogs will mis-behave. But you love them anyway because they love you. If you weren't touched by this movie - you have ice in your veins. ANd the "sex scene" you mention... are you KIDDING? The "cuss words"?? And the revealing "skinny dipping" scene... for crying out loud! I honestly thought perhaps you were joking for a moment. You sir - should probably not be a dog owner - especially since you admitted so freely that the dog "would be gone". it means you are not in it for the long haul. If I were a humane society - I would not let you adopt a dog, if that is your attitude. A pet is supposed to enrich our lives...and we inturn - are supposed to enrich theirs. They do not have a duty to "obey everything we say" - they are sentient beings. Not teddy bears. A negative review is one thing - but yours is so steeped in negativity and unhappiness - I sincerely hope you a) Do not have a dog and b) Go seek some counselling!

I still can't believe how they ruined a wonderful movie. The movie is still on top; being billed as a "feel good movie," what a let down. Kids and kids at heart do not need to see this ending....most of us have went through losing wonderful pets, that were our friends for many, many years. Should be a documentary, if that's what they wanted to show. The very least; quit advertising it like we wil be rolling on the floor with glee.............

The Owen Wilson/Jennifer Aniston pic should bark up another $25 million over the weekend taking its total over $100 million. Adam Sandler’s Bedtime Stories should bank another $23 million bringing the film’s gross to around $88 million. It looks like Sandler has another $100 million grosser on his hands. Ainiston’s ex, a Brad Pitt is next with The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The David Fincher film should manage another $18 million. For a film that wasn’t expected to be a huge hit it’s doing pretty darn well. Yes Man and Valkyrie should both bank another $15 million each, proving that Jim Carrey and Tom Cruise are still viable movie stars. Meanwhile Will Smith’s Seven Pounds should manage another $10 million.  Overall it’s a pretty A-List - centric time at the box office. In fact it could be 1999 and nobody would bat and eyelid.

Please tell me. Can I handle seeing this? I read the book and cried and cried and cried for what seems like an hour. I had a horrible time dealing with putting my 13-year-old golden about 7 years ago. I had no idea how horrifying it would be I was 38 or so at the time, and my dog (Tapper) sustained me through my divorce, losing a job, moving, all while taking care of a baby. My parents came to the vet with me, as did my then 7-year old daughter. They heard me absolutely wailing with unbearable grief from the waiting area. They've all seen the movie, and have told me I must not go because they all think it will be too much for me. I would really like to see it, but now I'm afraid. Any opinions on this would be appreciated. Oh Boy. Please tell me. Can I handle seeing this? I read the book and cried and cried and cried for what seems like an hour.

I must say I realized about 1/4 of the way through the movie that this was NOT intended for small children. The sexual content-considering a pg rating...was innapropriate. My child kept blurting out "BAD WORD" everytime they mentioned sex or any other profanity... I contemplated leaving but kept thinking...this is PG, how bad can it get? Boy was I in for a shock! The dog who my daughter thought was so cute and funny...was euthanized in the last few minutes!? Wow, I didnt see that coming! I thought they'd end before the dog died, or at least not have to see it, all the while going through the emotional rollercoaster of watching the dog die slowly...surrounded by sobbing strangers, and a dissapointed and sad 7 year old... On the ride home, I had to answer numerous questions about why, what happened, what was in the shot marley got, whyd they kill her etc... Then upon arriving home...the questions continued, now, about when her dog is going to die, how old he is, how much longer he has, and where will he die...where will he be burried, what if we move...and then on to the cat... lovely, just lovely...

Your site reviews nailed it on the head. Like many, my husband and I took our 21 and 14 yr old to the movies tonight. We thought the movie was going to be your fun-loving cutsey movie abt a silly dog etc. I didn't know there was a book and it wouldn't have mattered as I don't usually read this kind of story etc. In any case, I agree the ending is highgly inappropriate for young children and those of us with a heart and those of us with older dogs who may need to be put down soon etc. All for of us cried and cried the last 15 min. We were one of hte last to exit the theatre expect for a man and his young daughter. The little child was crying hysterically and uncontrollably as he was trying to explain this to her. I am understsanding of the value a dog brings to a family....VERY understanding and completely love my dog. However, the movie previews did not give ANY indication of it's ending etc. I do feel a notice to parents needs to be included. I surely believe in telling my children abt the circle of life etc. I just don't feel it begins in a supposed fun-loving movie abt a great, cute doggy......thanks for your time and space.

A friend of mine called me last night and said he went to the movie with a friend and her kids...he said he was a "puddle" at the end. Now, this is someone who is a huge animal lover, that cares about his own dog unconditionally. He also does not have children and his dog is his daily companion. He is an amazing person with an amazing heart who is an ideal situation for any dog! Not everyone is from a mold like this, I realize that...., but damn, thank goodness people like him do exist in the world to put some balance in the insanity that we live in! I think many people were effected in a similar way by the ending, but what I am finding to be the distinguishable factor in this whole thing is the way in which the other parts of the movie have influenced people. I am finding that many people who I speak to are not relating to some of the things that you pointed out. I wonder if this is because they have not had enough of the positive life experiences with a dog to make them capable of tolerating the undesirable ones. Interesting. @ Jon
Good points…..it’s one of those movies that will definitely spark debate among animal lovers, those who are not as passionate and then those who like to bitch slap animal lovers because they for some reason are repulsed by them. A friend of mine called me last night and said he went to the movie with a friend and her kids…he said he was a “puddle” at the end. Now, this is someone who is a huge animal lover, that cares about his own dog unconditionally. He also does not have children and his dog is his daily companion. He is an amazing person with an amazing heart who is an ideal situation for any dog!
