Thanks for the warning... It was on my list.....to see, but now will rethink it....

yeah, they advertise it as if it's a comedy
I didn't read the book, but since I knew dog dies in the end, I didn't buy the book and don't plan to see the movie. thanks for warning everyone.

when I was a kid, I bought the book "Old Yeller." Before reading it, I found out the kid had to shoot his dog, never cracked a page of it, and never will.

I heard Marley and Me read on NPR. I guess he edited it some-- what I heard was funny and great! The dog died in the end--but I think that he died of old age? I mean look at the outline they had 3 kids --before he died.
That is sad BUT not as sad as OLD YELLER.
I had a dog die couple years ago. miss her. but i am also SO glad that I knew her! She got me out walking (40 degrees below even! It was a short walk), helped me improve my balance, gave me MANY good laughs---was a good friend. Never critisized me.
All of this and OOOOPS I just thought: when something makes you sad it makes you sad. Whether I or ANYONE tells you GEE I THOUGHT IT WAS ----whatever.

I loved Old Yeller! Yes, it was sad, but worth seeing. Sometimes I need to see triggering things to release pent up emotion.

thanks for the info - if I watch it I will do it at home ALONE with a box of keenex

youre kidding!!! it was originally a book??? i thought hollywood just made this crap up for money... but someone actually wrote it as a book...

how am I the insane one?!

thanks for the warning too, though i didnt plan to see it. i watched futurama on xmas eve. :D i use to watch that when i watched tv. i was told it wa son, so i watched it again.

i saw some commercial about some girl with a twin who died and her dead twin came back to haunt her and use her as a portal to cross between the worlds.

thats what im talking about.

dumb down, for entertainment. i dont see why anyone would take interest with this crap.

well... now that I know how it ends.. no point in wanting to see it anymore! shit

i thought it was a good movie. i read the book first so i knew how it ended. I did a lot of laughing, but did cry at the end.

I loved the movie Old Yeller, first show I ever saw at the picture show. I'd think I'd watch this, but I swear I heard about this show on some talk show, and the dog was made up? Maybe I have my shows mixed up.

Also agree with lynn, sometimes triggers single emotions we need to unlock.

nope, this was a real dog

Thank you for the warning. My dog is sick and my parents would probably have loved to see that movie but I won't let them go knowing how it ends. I appreciate you taking the time to post this topic.
