I can’t bring myself to see it. I had a Golden that past away a few years ago. We had him for 11 years.

I heard it’s a great movie (but, then there’s the ending). Just can’t do it..

I wasn’t particularly impressed with any of the movie, I thought it was oh so cutesie!!!
And I hated the ending, yep I bawled like a baby, my dogs get upset when I cry and they were whining and snuggling.

I think it’s extremely sad. I mean they could’ve ended it so many ways, and they chose the sad way.

I bawled like a baby. Actually blubbered.

it was not a pretty sight.

I cannot bring myself to see the movie, in part because as directed and produced it looks as thought the fictional owners of Marley knew absolutely nothing about training dogs. In addition, I have had too much sorrow over losing my own pets over the years that I most assuredly do not want to take on someone else’s, especially since the movie is based on John Grogan’s autobiography and Marley did indeed die, at age 13 of the bloat. All dogs die too soon.

Did you know that they used 22 different dogs to play the role of Marley?

i haven’t seen it but i cry like a baby at Lassie movies, Black Beauty, Free Willy and stuff like that. the last one i cried at was the one about the Siamese and the two dogs that take this big journey – was it “the Incredible Journey?” anyway, i sometimes feel i can’t do movies like that, because they kill me. ,

I loved it and I cried like a baby!! Its so sad, but its the circle of life..

The actual move itself wasn’t that great, but it made me tear up horribly. Anyone who has lost a pet will not be able to simply sit through this movie, if that pet was like family. I watched this with my ex and he got up to poke around at things, because he almost started crying, too.

Yes I thought it was very very sad. I too cryed like a baby.

@AstroChuck and @elijah Im sorry, I didnt want to edit the q but they made me because they said my original q was to much like a simple poll.
