Marley and Me (Movie)

I've read the book last year, super touching and love the book to bits. The book that I bought has a page on the column John wrote to Marley. Super touching too.

Met the wife up at Bugis last night, watching Marley and Me at the 9pm slot at Shaw. The wife was late, so I get the tickets first. Can I say it's my first time purchasing movie tickets after 20 years of my life? Bahx . . . That's not important.

Straight to Marley and Me.

The starting of the show I find it quite exciting. The book was great with good reviews, so does the movie and so I wanted to watch it badly even more. I like the puppy Labrador, they're cute. In the movie, when John and Jenny were looking at the puppies, the dog owner said that Marley will got at a cheaper rate. And so that's how Marley got the nickname as clearance puppy.

I quite like how Marley howl during thunder storm although it was quite different from the story. I expect him to be injured and bleeding during thunder storms when the owners are out. But the movie came out different. Well, what can we expect? Movies will always be a little or more different from the books.

Although the story plot was different from the book I quite like it although it seem to be a little draggy for me in the middle.

One thing I don't enjoy the movie was that I had to be like a giraffe craning my neck up just to watch the movie in full screen. The person in front of me wasn't that tall when he's seated, but he just block my view. Shaw's seating was unlike GV or Cathay, because they don't give me the craning of neck problem, even when I am leaning towards the wife with my head on her shoulder. But only Shaw gives me this problem, which I don't really like. But what to do, it is one of the earliest slow available among cinemas nearest to the wife's working place.

Ah . . .
We can't miss out the most important part. The ending. Although most touching movies I have watched with the wife so far doesn't make me tear as much as this Marley and Me. Maybe because of I have lost countless of hamsters before in the past that made me understand and relate to the ending part more.

It was sad, and the wife and me were wiping our tears on one another sleeves. Now my jacket has her tear drop smell. =.=

Marley and Me was a good movie in that sense that it also portrays the starting of a new family. With the coming of babies, and the chaotic lives with a dog around too. And blahx blahx blahx . . . So it actually shows us that starting a family and having a dog altogether isn't an easy task and would make me really think twice for the future. Although by looking at the wife and me financially, it's impossible to even raise a dog.

Anyway, people, Marley and Me is a recommended movie. :D
