This movie is the only reason I'm happy to be currently single


Because having seen the trailer, I am 100% certain I would want to die if I had to see the movie with my girlfriend/wife, who would already have to chloroform me, hogtie me, and haul my ass to the theater to watch it with her.

Death would be preferable to such agony.

I agree. Only a masochist would want to see that movie. The trailer was upsetting anf I resent being forced to watch it in the theater before a movie I actually wanted to see. Who wants to see a dog die over and over and over?

I want to see this movie, but not with my wife. And its for pretty much the same reasons probably. I know she'll get emotional, especially when the different dogs die. I'll admit I proabably will too, but I still tear up watching Old Yeller. And, I'm gonna go ahead and make a prediction. When the dogs do something good, she'll say, and I quote, "Good boy (or girl, cause at least once this dog is a girl). If you want your mind blown, sit near us in the theater and see how accurate I am lol.

Close only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades, and thermo-nuclear weapons.

I saw Old Yeller once. Only... once. I couldn't have been any older than 10. I remember thinking something like "Why in the hell did I ask for that?" (I actually asked my parents to rent it from Blockbuster, can you believe that?) I have never seen it since, and I hope I never do ever again.

I'm not seeing this, but mainly because I'm not a dog person. Sure the dog dies, but he's constantly reincarnated, so only one death at the most will be permanent.

The book wasn't a tear jerker, and I'm a big dog person. I think it actually could help dog owners as our little friends die.

This is one of those movies you would want to see AT HOME and not around other people. I predict the On demand and video sales will be far higher than attendance at the movies

I agree! Same goes for Marly & Me. We saw Marly & Me flying to Europe once, and I walked to the back of the plane to use the bathroom, and everyone was bawling. Not a pretty sight! Not a good airplane movie choice. This was back before everyone their choice of 30 seatback movies.
