Did you love the movie Marley and Me? I enjoyed it thoroughly. I still remember sitting in the theater choking back tears, especially because our own yellow lab, Hudson, had passed away the year before. Now there's a new Marley movie, and it promises to be a whole lot more upbeat: Marley & Me: The Puppy Years.Starting tomorrow, fans of "the worst dog ever" will be able to view the prequel, sure to be filled with scenes of adorable puppy Marley captured in adorable--and naughty--puppy antics. I haven't yet seen the movie, but here is what I consider to be the pros and cons:
Pros: A celebration of yellow lab puppydom!
Pros: More Marley! Who can get enough?
Cons: Talking dogs. While the original Marely & Me didn't feature talking canines, the prequel does. I'm not sure why they decided to resort to this.
Cons: The movie is only available direct to DVD, which may be an indication that it is not "big enough" to warrant a feature film.
You can get your copy of Marley & Me, the Puppy Years starting tomorrow, exclusively at Walmart. Here's a peek at the movie trailer:
