Have you seen the advertisements for the movie Marley and Me? Thinking about planning a family evening around the movie? You should be warned that although most of the movie is as funny as the trailers suggest, the last fifteen minutes differ entirely.
Spoiler alert - if you haven't seen the movie but plan to, you'll want to stop reading here.
The other night we had a room full of well balanced adults watching the movie. By the end of the movie everyone had a series case of tears and sniffles.
I figured I'd give a general heads up. If you're looking for a good movie to watch - by all means have at it. But if you need a laugh filled pick-me-up (as we were all expecting), you'll want to pass.
In the case of our Saturday night group, we had all experienced the loss of at least one pet in the past. Marley and Me does a great job of capturing the churning emotions triggered by the loss of a special pet. Watching it was just as heartbreaking as going through the real thing.
