I watched Marley & Me a couple days ago, and I got to say that it was a very touching movie. Most of the time, I tend to avoid the movies that seem like a chick flick, but since it was a Wednesday, and I had nothing better to do, I watched it with my roommate.
I can't believe how hard this movie actually impacted me emotionally. Both of us (My roommate and me) where dead silent on the part where the movie aimed to make you cry. Well, all I could say is that they did an awesome job, because I had to use all my will power to keep from tearing right in front of my roommate.
Man, even If you didn't have your own pet, this movie develops the characters so well that it makes you feel sad when shit goes down.
all in all, I suggest you watch this movie, you won't regret it.
