What a terrible movie!  I like Owen Wilson as much as the next guy, but who wants to see him in such a sad movie?  I understand some people see film as art, and see good art as something that generates an emotional reaction.  And in that sense, Marley & Me certainly qualifies.

But I have a different theory on movies.  My take is that films are entertainment, and that entertainment should be entertaining — not sad.  If you haven’t read the book or seen the movie yet, don’t bother, I’m going to save you some time.  Just think about losing your best friend and you’ll accomplish in two minutes what this movie does in two hours.

A dog movie I love?  Bolt.  Seriously.  It’s awesome.
