Has Anyone Seen "Marley & Me"? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I loved the movie but have still not watched the last part, even though we bought it. I knew from others that it was too sad to bear, know myself, and decided it was just better to not see the ending. Sometimes I do practice avoidance.

Another great book for dog lovers is "Lost & Found" by Jacqueline Sheehan. It's about a woman who suffers a tragedy and then she meeets a black Lab named Lloyd. Every other chapter is told from Lloyd's point of view and the reader gets a peek into his emotions, etc.

Good book.

Everyone go hug their dog!

I loved the movie and watched it again with my hubby this morning. It just reminds you how precious our furbutts are & that they dont judge you, they just love you. It was fabulous. Yes, it was sad, but it is a reality that we all have to deal with at some point.

Uhm......... I hate to be the party pooper of this. I watched it with my kids, and of course they liked it, but I couldn't really get into the movie like that. So, uhm, I didn't see the end part of the movie........maybe I'll go back and watch it to the end this time.

It was a good movie and yes the ending was sad but I would see it again it was that good. It makes you appreciate your dogs more

We recorded it last night, but after reading this thread, I'm afraid to watch it, I really get so drained after watching sad movies, it's like I experienced the trauma. I wonder if I would have the courage to just stop watching it at a certain point? I've done this with other movies especially the second time I watched them such as Terms of Endearment, it was too good of a movie not to see again, but it wrecked me for days the first time I saw it. I like feel good movies! There is no way I could appreciate Joey more.

Dara311 · 10-11-2009, 01:55 PM

it made me ball my eyes as well, but it was still good...very long movie though!

BanditSocks2 · 10-11-2009, 04:42 PM

Great movie, but your face will be red and puffy from all the crying you'll do. Don't worry, there's a lot of laughing too

kalina82 · 10-11-2009, 05:03 PM

so Marley & Me has been on HBO for the past few days.... i couldn't escape it. i just watched it again. cried and cried at the end...again LOL still a great movie

YorkieMax82 · 10-12-2009, 12:12 AM

I cried like a baby during this... I was really sad afterwards but its a very good movie

remus · 10-12-2009, 03:26 AM

Movie is not funny at all, and is very sad. It just highlights the selfishness in humans and their insignificant problems in this pathetic every day life.
It also points out how materialism can make or break a family, never mind a dog.

I was very angry leaving the theater and was mad for the remainder of the day.

lil louis · 10-14-2009, 01:13 PM

I cride for a week after reading the book and for a few days after watching the movie. It's based on a true story, which makes it even more sad.

joesmom · 10-14-2009, 01:21 PM

I just cannot bring myself to watch this movie, I cry just thinking about it..
as a matter of fact I'm crying now just typing this

I am an emotional wreck when it comes to sad movies.

This is one of those movies I will never see! I just know I wouldnt be able to handle it emotionally..

Nikitta34 · 10-14-2009, 05:33 PM

Oh man, I held Meg in my arms and cried like a baby during that movie. I will never watch it again, but I'm glad I saw it. I think it does make you appreciate your fur-babies more.

a2luckygirl · 10-14-2009, 06:02 PM

I thought it was very funny at the first!
The ending was sad- but it was a good movie - about a family growing with their dog!!!

I have read the book a couple of times, too!

I cried!!!
