No that would be a horror film on how to throttle a daughter :rotfl: We haven't been to see it as I couldn't handle the tears.
Your tears or your Marley's?
I believe this is a really really sad movie
I thought it is a funny one :confused: Must admit, I have not read up on it but know it has lots of puppies in it. Better not watch it if it is a weepy :(

Oh it is funny but really sad at the end so my niece said and someone said the end of the book was really sad too
Read up on it and it is like you said, quite funny but with a sad ending. Better not watch it then unless waterproof mascara was used and a large box of tissues is nearby. :)

:lol: Aw ok. I never read the book. :p
I never read the book, but I saw this a few days after it came out
It was very funny :lol: Had me in stitches and the dog reminds me soooo much of one, well both of my dogs. Me and my mum could both relate so it was really nice :)
It was soooo sad though :( I was sobbing :crying: the whole cinema was.
A very good film

Certainly will! I went with my best friend who had come up from Runcorn and was staying the week, I cried like a baby! But tbh everyone was crying, apart from Sara, she sat next to me and laughed at me 'cos she knew I would cry!
Watched the film on the in-flight entertainment, managed to switch over to another programme before it became too serious. Could still cry
