Theatre torture
Friday, February 27th, 2009
I went to see “Marley and Me” yesterday. If you don’t know it’s basically about a young family and their rambunctious dog.
This movie was doomed before I even walked into the theatre. Before I saw the movie I saw a poster for the it on a bus stop that showed only the cute dog and his puppy dog eyes. Someone had spray painted over it, “The dog dies.”
The first half of the movie was ok I guess, I got a few laughs thanks to the dog. But after about an hour of watching the dog tear shit up was starting to stress me out. The bad dog routine was getting really old.
Then Jennifer Aniston starts hating life and screaming her head off for the longest time. I think at that time she had her third baby that was also screaming all the time. I wanted to turn down the volume sooooo bad.
As it progressed I found myself thinking, “what’s the plot of this movie, what are these people trying to accomplish, they’re just a normal happy family living a normal happy life?”
One of the two main conflicts of the movie, Owen Wilson’s career uncertainty, was never resolved. However, the main conflict of the movie certainly was resolved, the dog died.
