"Marley & Me"

Honey and I decided we wanted to see this movie. I had read the book and thought it was really good...even passed it along to several friends.

The movie is a bit slow but gave some pretty good laughs in the beginning. We could kind of relate to Marley since our Jack is (or I should say was) a bit similar to Marley. Jack could take out a bag of food in 10 seconds flat if allowed. We would put his bowl food down and he would literally inhale it in about 3 seconds. As he has gotten older he has slowed down a little. We still have to seperate the dogs so that Sonny can eat his food in peace. If Sonny even acts like he is going to walk away for a rest Jack will jump right in and finish it for him.

Back to the movie. The end...oh my goodness...it is a 3 hanky ending. Honey and I almost got up and left. We saw what was coming but there we stayed...clued to our chairs, crying our eyes out. Made us come home and hug our boys as tight as we could. I'm not sure I would recommend this movie. It was cute, but slow and just too sad. I would highly recommend the book.
