Not to expect a film with a "PG" rating have all the children leaving the cinema bawling their eyes out

WARNING - SPOILER ALERT - IF YOU ARE GOING TO SEE MARLEY AND ME DON'T READ ANY FURTHER

Am I the only person who thought this would be a good film to take the kids too. FFS, the bloody dog dies in the end - some of the kids were howling - it pissed me off actually.

Oh what do you all think about "The boy in striped pyjamas" then?

DS1 and I are going to watch it tonight as he has read the book (and it made him cry)

I'd have killed that dog well before it had a chance to get to old age.

presumabley there was no bum sex then?
doggy style?

I think you are being a bit unreasonable. I suppose the movie is not targeted to young children, but to 8 yrs old and over?
It is normal to cry at the cinema.

ET made me cry a lot when I went to see it as a little girl but it still was a fantastic movie!

I have not seen the one you are mentionning with the dog who dies but I think sometimes children have to face the fact that not everything can have a happy ending.

I took my boys to see this and the girls in front of us (about 10 to 12 years old I would think) were hugging each other and crying.

My son however was so bored that, whilst trying to keep him from saying "can we go now?" I told him "Oh no ds1 the dog had died ", he said "Yeh!! Is it finished then?!"

So maybe not a kid film at all - either wailing or boredom seemed to be the order of the day

I quite enjoyed it however!

i actually went to see this today, to guage if my dd's could watch it.

i would say defo not for the under 8's imo.

its a great film, but very sad.
