in the interest of the 12 step program, i must admit and apologize. i went to see it today. i read the book (i didn't pay for it...thank you brooklyn library) because my brother recommended it. i enjoyed the book because i lerve dogs. but i was not prepared for what happened today in the little suburban movie theater. maybe it was because i didn't get popcorn.
first of all, i apologize for tearing up at the opening credits. then i laughed and made all kinds of indiscernible sounds during the film. now i apologize to shindler's list for crying harder at the end of this film.
this is not a movie for children, most of whom were surrounding me. this is a movie about family and responsibility and the passage of time. and i didn't even hate jennifer anniston that much. i even started laughing in the middle of my weeping, because i was so self aware, and because the parents around me were trying to console and figure out how to un-traumatize their children. hilarious.
so, the worst marketing campaign ever for this film, but a must see for anyone who has loved a dog...
