Marley & Me--the film version

Great example of way bad screenwriting. A real disappointment except at the end where I cried my eyes out because it reminded me of the day I had to put my dog (yes, a Lab, but a well behaved one) down--see Goodbye from the 2006 archives in this blog--
So...what exactly was this film about? Me and my dog, me and my wife, me and my job, Me and my wife, my kids--oops here comes another one!-- and my job, oh yeah, by the way, heres a shot of my dog in the background chewing up the couch cushions again...

I didn't think the book was all that wonderful either, but at least there was some deeper character development there, causing me to become somewhat emotionally invested in Marley--Grogan & family? Not so much.
