Oh man, Where the Red Fern Grows. I've read that book so many times since I was a kid. It definitely had a hand in shaping my life as well. That sounds dramatic, but that's the power of books, IMO.

I watched this a few days ago and balled. I have a soft spot for dogs, I just couldn't hold it in anymore. Near the end of the movie though I heard sniffling throughout the theater and felt a bit better that I wasn't the only one. I remember my friend turning to me with tears in her eyes and saying "I thought this was supposed to be a funny happy movie." It was a funny movie but I really did not expect to cry. Such a great movie.

Omg. So my co-worker told me that I would cry in this and I said "No, Im not really an animal person" though I did have a dog I loved w/ my heart.

So yeah, I was BAWLING. Sobbing and tears pouring out in streams. WOW. I loved it. Im not a fan of aniston either, but she did really well. Owen I love. He is a good actor and bring comic relief to many of his roles.

But yeah lots of tissues ladies and lucky me I didnt wear a stich of makeup. My eyes were so puffy and red!

I refuse to watch this movie or read the book because I get so upset when bad stuff happens to animals. It REALLY upsets me, so I will pass...

I watched this movie sunday, and i have to say, i was a freakin mess. I don't have a dog, but i have a cat that i constantly refer to as my daemon (golden compass refrence), whom i love beyond words.
This movie was not only hilarious, but utterly heartbreaking. I was starting to hyperventilate at one point. The scene when Owen Wilson and Marley are sitting in the feild (towards the very end), i knew wit was coming, was already a wreck, and almost left the theatre.
After i left the theatre i was SO red and blotchy (i'm really pale, so i get extra red). I went into the washroom after and i had people outwardly gawking at me. I think i was making them uncomfortable!!

As for the leads (a side from the lab!) Owen Wilson; i usually want to hit. I liked him. He played the role well. Was Loveable, and mostly, you really believed how much he loved his wife, and his dog. Jennifer Anniston was quite good imo. Theres a scene in the middle of the movie where she got quite a few tears out of me. I liked her in this a lot. Also, that blond boy from Batman is in the film (Commissioner Gordon's son), he's great too!



SPOILER!!!!!
That whole scene when Jenny finds out she's had a miscarriage was so heart wrenching. When she;s lying in the office and right before/after she finds out ... oh man, there came the water works. And her scene following that with Marley was so touching. I think she did a beautiful job.

I've only read the book, and well.

Last sixty pages, I bawled my eyes out through all of them. It was the most I can ever remember crying.

lol it was hilarious how everyone in the theater i was in tried to cover/hide their tears. the burly grown men with wet faces, and all you hear were sniffling and nose blowing. i remember the first tug at my heart strings, i told myself "I AM NOT GOING TO CRY HERE! I REFUSE TO!" the tugs that followed broke down the dam and the water works started. a movie hasnt done that to me in a long time
