This movie has been (and continues to be) advertised as a family/child movie for the holidays. SPOILER ALERT: it's not. The big gruff guy next to me was heckling everyone sniffling during the movie, only to eventually break down IN TEARS...so don't take your children to this movie. Was it a movie about some lab or was it the life story of my rottweiler Sammie? We got Sammie before we'd been married a year; she's been there through all our cats, graduate school, medical school, our child, and all of these other dogs.
The movie was excellent. It just wasn't a Christmas movie, and it sure wasn't for children.

Oh, we haven't watched this movie yet but obviously it's gonna be very sad. If you read the book, you'll know it. So I don't think it's all that great for the children to watch, it will only make them sad because it will only probably remind them of their own dog/s.
Have a wonderful Happy New Year!

MORE SPOILER:
The thing is - it's not just that it's sad in an old yeller sort of way - there is also so much middle age angst. The stress that careers and children can put on a marriage and on a person.
It was that more than the dog that I found too mature for children. What 4 year old wants to see adults fighting and upset because of the stress the on-screen 4 year old is causing in their lives?
Again - it was a very good movie. Very well done and very well acted. But it was NOT a kid's movie.
I thought this movie was the worst, most depressing movie I have ever seen. Do not go see it! If you do don't say you weren't warned.
judging by the box office, it looks like Jennifer Aniston is giving Brad Pitt a run for his money...
I'm with you and said so in a slightly different way. (Oh, nooooo! my word verification word tonight is dedowl! I hope not!)
Marley and Me SUCKED. We just watched it and it was the most horrible ripoff of the season! S..U..C..K..E..D!!
-4-5 sex scenes
-mom and dad fighting constantly
-1/2 hour of a dog dieing scene
-rating on this is a joke
-this brings new meaning to the word "ZERO"
"The movie was excellent. It just wasn't a Christmas movie, and it sure wasn't for children."
What made it not for kids? Too powerful that their head would explode? You suck at reviewing movies, DONT EVER REVIEW ANOTHER MOVIE AGAIN. Anything you touch would just make stuff worse. LOL
Sucks Big time. I'm middle-aged, married with all the 'stress' that Hollywood likes to depict as unbearable. Get over it, stop bitching and rise above it. Dogs are great, but get into stuff. So what. Kids are a handful, so what, deal with it. It's not the subplot for a movie.
