Ok, so Marley and Me was good, but not quite what I expected. I haven't read the book so I went into the movie with zero expectations. I went with my family and we were hoping to see a funny, care free holiday flick. Let's just say that by the last ten minutes of the movie, my mom and I were collecting all of the crumpled napkins from the cup-holders that we could to pat the water works streaming from our eyes. Without giving too much away (although I'm sure most of you can guess what happens) it was quite the tear jerker.
I happened to enjoy it, except for the few times my mom leaned over to ask what time it was. The flick was two hours and my brother, mom and dad all agreed that it could have been much shorter and still achieved the same point. I'm a sucker for most movies involving any kind of cute animal so I guess I am bias. (I caught myself saying 'aww' out loud at least five times when Marley ran across the screen). Anyway, if you're looking for a movie which takes you through the ups and downs of life and exemplifies the whole meaning of family, then I would recommend Marley & Me. If not, just go see it to enjoy the Miami scenery. I'm going to miss Florida, but definitely not the humidity. 80 degrees in December....really? How is that even possible?
