"Marley & Me"

Wow, what a huge disappointment. For starters, it's way too much "me" and not nearly enough Marley - all the scenes from the previews, with the dog being adorable and causing trouble, come from the first half hour of the movie. After that, the dog is barely present - the movie is about the people - their jobs, their miscarriage (!), their kids, their marriage difficulties, their move from Florida to Philadelphia. The dog reappears toward the end so that he can get old and die. This movie is NOT for kids - mine were bored for most of it and then VERY upset at the end. I feel cheated - this movie was completely mismarketed. I'm sure the book is a terrific read, for ADULTS. To present this story as family entertainment is just wrong. Shame on everyone involved.
