I went to see the movie, and LOVED it! I've read the book and was so pleased to see that the movie followed right along with the story the author told. The actors did a great job portraying their characters, and the many Marley's were wonderful. Yes, the entire theater crowd was sobbing by the end, but I'd see the movie again. It was great! I think everyone was so emotional, because they can relate to the story. Just about everyone has loved a pet and had to handle the loss of a pet. But there is just so much more to the story. I recommend that if you have the opportunity to see the movie, take the time and see it!
