... Marley and Me ...

Thursday, 12th March 2009.

Piaree said that we were going to watch a movie but not too sure of the title and the time of the movie. Me being the usual prick said that I can't cause of the so call "need to save cash" policy. Who am I kidding? Passing up the chance to spend time with friends and movie? I must be an idiot indeed.

So, we did go for the movie. We picked Marley and Me. It was the usual gang that went for it (Piaree, Mervin and Rae). The movie starts at 7.30pm, Mid Valley, and our work ends at 6.30pm. So, we had to rush to avoid the unexplainable silly road congestion that occurs once in awhile. We arrived early (which was good cause we mostly always arrived just in time and the ads had started rolling). We got our drinks and M&M chocolate mints and off we went for our show.

Marley & Me

It was one of those movies when you pick it not because of the story (didn't know what the synopsis was) but based on who was acting in it. Most of us would have gone cause of Jennifer Aniston. I like Owen Wilson as well. However, i went for it cause of the dog, Marley. The movie wasn't anything like Lassie or Beethoven or even K-9, it didn't have any of that main cast is the canine while the supporting actors/actress were their owners. It was different. It was based on this one couple and how their new puppy's role plays a huge factor in decision making on family and life. So, basically the whole family and their dog are the main characters. Interesting way of expressing the choices we make in life or come across the crossroads throughout the entire film. And for dog owners around the world would agree to some extend that they've gone through similar experiences and choices with their paw pals. Overall, the acting was done very well and the canine was perfect in the movie. Amazing how they got Marley to recreate some scene you would have read in the book (by the way, I've not even read it yet so I'm just assuming). Speaking of which, on a movie by itself without reading the book is amazing. Tearful yet filled with heartwarming scene. Don't miss it.
