    Marley & Me

    Has anyone read this book? I am just about through reading it and I can't wait to see the movie! I read in the book that the REAL Marley was in a movie. I looked it up and found a link to all the clips that Marley was in. It's kind of neat to actually see the real Marley. He was such a big Lab!

    I read and loved the book! I am a bit worried that they'll take a lot of the heart of the book out to make the movie ...

    I loved the book. Will probably see the movie. I'm not so keen on Jennifer Anniston - don't know what all the fuss is about her?

    Yep, read the book. Laughed and Cried.
    The author was a local columnist in our regional paper, so I had read about Marley before.

    I don't care about Anniston or what's his name..I want to see the movie just to see the dog.

    Definitely read the book before you see the movie. Books are always better than the movies they are made into. I know that I will enjoy the movie, but am expecting that it will be nowhere as good as the book.

    I think reading the book after the movie is a good idea, just for the simple fact that books are usually better. You'll love the movie, and then LOVE the book even more. As opposed to reading the book first and being slightly disappointed in the movie. I read the book a couple times. I think the movie will be fun. I'm not a huge Jennifer Aniston fan, but I really like Owen Wilson.

    The only movies I watch are dog movies other than school of rock, along came polly, and christopher guest flicks, therefore, Marley and Me will most definitely be seen, possibly on Christmas day

    I read and loved the book. Anna (Cookiebaker) was nice enough to loan me the book and I laughed lots and cried lots. It's a wonderful book.

    I think the movie looks terrible and I have no desire to see it. I guess I might see it when it's out on TV, but I won't be seeing it in the theatre.

    I read the book and I thought it was great.
    I've seen some clips from the movie on t.v. and it looks like it will be pretty good. However - I never go to the theaters anymore, so I'll just wait till it's released on DVD.

    I agree. I really hope they keep a lot of the book in the movie. I finished the book this morning and balled my eyes out when Marley died.
