    Marley & Me

    My friend in Canada watched the movie Marley and Me and told me I had to go see it.

    I'd like to see it on Thursday at AMC Theatre (Pacific Place, Admiralty). It's playing at 7:35pm.

    If anyone is interested in joining me, let me know email: [email protected]

    Here's a synopsis of the movie from AMC's website:

    As the snow falls on their wedding night, newlyweds John and Jenny Grogan (OWEN WILSON and JENNIFER ANISTON) decide to leave behind the harsh winters of Michigan and head south to begin their new lives in West Palm Beach, Florida. They obtain jobs as journalists at competing local newspapers, buy their first home, and begin to make their way through the challenges of a new marriage, new careers and, possibly, the life-changing decision to start a family.
    Unsure of his preparedness for raising children, John confesses his fears to his friend and fellow journalist Sebastian, who comes up with the perfect solution: John should get Jenny a puppy. “There’s nothing to it,” says Sebastian. “You walk ‘em. You feed ‘em, you let ‘em out now and then.”
    Then came Marley.
    The Grogans adopt the cute, twelve pound yellow Labrador, who in no time at all, grows into a 100-pound steamroller of unbridled energy that turns the Grogan home into a disaster area. He flunks obedience school, chews off dry-wall, takes a bite out of the sofa, overturns garbage cans, steals a Thanksgiving turkey, consumes pillows and flowers, drinks toilet water, and chases the UPS guy. Even a newly-purchased, expensive necklace isn't safe from Marley's voracious antics.



    Thanks!

    Theres going to be a sudden increase in demand for lab puppies and as soon as they get too big they'll be dumped.

    Didn't the same thing happen when the film 8 below came out?
