I'm watching Marley and Me for the first time

[jfr1111]

And I'm freaking crying like a baby at 2:30 in the afternoon. Manly man tears mind you.

Can't be that good of a movie if you're surfing HBT whilst watching it...

 

[jfr1111]

Browsing to stop the tears. It's ridiculous.

 

[PirateBrewer]

Yeah, that movie was way sadder than I expected it to be. Eyes definitely got watery but no tears came down.

My dog died about a year and a half ago. She was about 14 yrs old. I've heard about the effects that movie has and I'm sure I'm not ready to watch it yet - your post confirms that yet again.

What's next? Toy Story 3? Apparently that one is a tear jerker as well.

I've been wanting to watch Marley and Me for a while, but after what my wife said about it, I'm picking a time when I can close the blinds and lock the doors and watch it alone with the Kleenex nearby (Much like I do when I watch the Skinimax channels!)

 

[jfr1111]

After the movie ended, I changed channels and caught the scene where Jeff Bridges puts his yellow lab down in A Dog Year. So, yeah...

Yup, and a damn good movie.

Only due to it's being terrible.

I liked the first 2, I saw them in theaters. Third was just not good.

I don't watch movies, but I did read the book "Marley and Me". The book was great and I would recommend it for anybody who has ever had a pet.

Read the book at work a couple years ago. Doing construction oversight. I was bawling my head off & praying that the construction manager wouldn't come over to my truck....

 

[Yankeehillbrewer]

I tried to watch it but couldn't get through it. I'm a real sap when it comes to that kinda stuff. Plus it hadn't been too long since I had to put one of my dogs down.

My rule of thumb - nothing good can ever come from watching a pet movie

I'd have to agree

I also had read the book before watching the movie, so I knew what was coming the whole time.

Yup, it's either going to try to make me cry, or force me to endure Rosanne's voice for 2 hours.

 

[CoalCracker]

Watched it while my yellow lab was going through chemo for cancer. I couldn't stop myself. They just came outta my eyes. I couldn't even act tough. Damn movie took a part of me that day...

Obviously you've never seen Gremlins.

I still stand by my statement.

Any movie that can make me tear up is a good one.

I cried when Kirk had to destroy the Enterprise in Star Trek III...
