I was wondering if one of you poor saps would have to review this.

They picked a lab? They could have any type of dog...and they go with the most unoriginal. Not a good sign for what the rest of the movie's like, I'm sure.

Ugh, I just sat through the entire trailer. Why did I do that? It's just like that bowl of urine stained peanuts on bars. You don't want any, but before you know what happened you have a mouth full of them. Now I have to go rinse my mouth ánd my brain!

They picked a lab, VeinsRHiways, 'cause it's based on a bestselling non-fiction book about a lab.

As the proud owner of a indisputably original lab I can state with conviction that I'm not gonna see this movie. No way.

They picked a lab? They could have any type of dog...and they go with the most unoriginal.

The book is a true story involving a gigantic yellow lab, so that part was locked in. The natural lab personality plays a big part in how the dog in the story interacts with people and impacts its environment.

Unless you were using "lab" as a euphemism for Wilson and/or Aniston, in which case, righto and carry on.

Wait... this is not a good sign. Using my formula for sentimental dog movies... Dog+Mischief+Heroic Moment+Untimely Death= Sentimental Dog Movie. Now, let's substitute puppy in there.
Puppy+Mischief+ Heroic Moment+ Untimely Death= ... well this can't be right. No one would do this. P+M+H+D = Horrific! How are they going to kill a puppy. You Don't kill puppies! That's a Bitch Move, Hollywood! You gon pay what you owe!

Oh come on people! Every body needs a little heart warming during the holidays. I bet this film will be one of the funniest, romanticist, family bondingest experiences of the holiday season.
I mean, with Luke Wilson and Jennifer Aniston it has got to be BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRFF.

Well whatdya know, the doctors were right. It does only happen when I lie.

The book is actually pretty good... although... the ending... hoo boy.

Yeah, whatever you do, do NOT listen to the audiobook while driving. I had to pull over.

**SPOILER FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT NATURE** Optimus, there's no "untimely death," but they do follow the story through to the natural end.

"It's based on a book about a dog, we've signed Jennifer Aniston as the lead."

or

"It's based on a book about a dog, we've signed Owen Wilson as the lead."

Either way, gold.

Say, socalled? Regarding the spoiler - does it have anything to do with a puffy eyed, red-faced protagonist having to "man-up" with a shotgun and take Marley down because he lost a shitload of mafia-loaned dough when Marley couldn't follow through and catch the football booted by the field-goal kicking donkey? And the reason Marley couldn't do it was because he was ravaged with rabies? And he got the rabies by protecting a family of orphaned squirrels from an evil raccoon? And in the end, because it was winter and the family in the story had no money, they had to eat Marley's remains? And every time they bit down on some stray buckshot, they broke down in tears? Because it tasted like a lesson learned the hard way? Is that what happened?

'Cause that'd totally make me pull over and weep uncontrollably.

The prospect of watching a movie in which the protagonist is a white dude who named his lab "Marley" is just too much to bear.

Was there seriously a scene in which the dog chewed on Aniston's bra with "Bad to the Bone" in the background?

That was the longest trailer I've ever seen. And you say the movie's longer? Get out.

"The book is actually pretty good... although... the ending... hoo boy.

Damn straight.

Also, keep this in mind for any of you reading The Tale of Edgar Sawtelle. I had to put the book down at one point cuz I was crying so hard I couldn't see the damn page.

This movie will suck a giant dick for sure. The part of the trailer where Marley's front half is out of the car and Owen Wilson is holding his back paws as they drive through traffic made Diet Coke come out of my nose though. Seriously. Don't judge... I'm sleep deprived and punchy. That's the last time I stay up all night reading for class.

I'll tell you WHO the best dogs are:

My German Shepherd and my Golden Retriever all other dogs MUST be, by natural law and selection... inferior.

AHHHHHHHHHHH! It's been established.

I watched the trailer so that I would know what the heck you were talking about, Allingsworth , and I have to admit, that's pretty fucking funny.

Also, you know your career is dead when you are playing second banana to a trained dog.

I'm probably too late to the game to be asking questions, but was that Kathleen Turner as the dog trainer? I'd watch the trailer again, but I'm working on loving myself more.

that may be a totally stupid movie, but seeing owen wilson and that lab do the wheelbarrow out of a car just made my day. just sayin.

...so... the dog is playing Dupree?

Wait, wasn't he just in "You, Me and Dupree"? Hollywood goes 100+ years without any grammatically incorrect usage of the word "Me" in a film title, then two come along at once, both starring Owen Wilson.

SWEET JESUS! Why didn't someone tell me Kathleen Turner ate a whole PreSchool class? And to think I had a crush on her as a kid.

And Slim, I see your German Shepherd and Golden Retriever and raise you two awesome, intelligent, lovable Rat Terriers.

Who has the worse nose? Owen Wilson's rhinoplasty by meat tenderizing mallet or Jennifer Anniston's inspiration for Stimpy shnozzola.

From the back of the classroom, a small, timid girl raises her hand and squeaks out... "I thought it looked cute..." And then bravely declares, "And I've always liked Jennifer Aniston!" Let the spitball barrage begin.
