Mom and I watched the movie a week back, fully expecting to be all tearful at the end. We liked the movie well enough. I think Owen Wilson and Jennifer Anniston have done a good job of bringing the characters to life in their understated performances but I think the movie didn't fully capture how completely mad Marley really was if the book is anything to go by. I mentally steeled myself for the ending, knowing what was in store. I thought mom would be more affected having actuually gone through the process but we found ourselves saddened but nothing more than that. I guess that is nothing more than conclusive proof that we have achieved closure on this one too. Look at us. We're growing up.
