Barking Up The Wrong Tree

Marley and Me dog film

Yesterday I went to see Marley & Me, a film for dog lovers starring a golden Labrador called Marley, Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson.

I’m afraid I was most disappointed.  If you haven’t seen the film yet, you may not want to read on as this does contain spoilers.

I suppose I should have expected a tearful drama, as this sort of film usually is, and why is it that any film that contains a dog usually ends with a dead dog?  However, this film was much more depressing than that.  My two-line review of the film reads along the lines of… if you want a career, you can’t have children, if you want children, don’t expect a decent career, you’ll never get what you want from life – and then your dog dies.

This was possibly the most depressing film I have ever seen.
