I had the day off, my back was a little tweaked, so… How better to spend the afternoon than watching movies. Right?
Right.
So I pick out a few movies, plop my miserable butt down in the recliner and press play on the remote.
The movies I picked… Seven Pounds and Marley & Me.
One movie about an IRS agent giving life-changing gifts to seven strangers… And the other movie about a beautiful “naughty and neurotic” (thank you imdb.com) dog.
Surely I was going to be in for a fun filled feel good kinda afternoon, right?

If you’ve seen these movies, you can probably get where I’m going with this. I don’t want to go into specifics as I know not everyone has seen both of them, or even one of them. I don’t want to spoil anything.
Tissues, folks. It’s been awhile since I’ve cried as much as I did today.
Two good movies. Two good cries.
Seven Pounds made me cry the ugly cry and Marley and Me, well I haven’t seen the movie, but I read the book, right after my dog died.
I sobbed for a month.
Great movies, great messages, good cries.
I have a Yellow Lab so Marley & Me hits pretty close to home. :(
OMG, Marley & Me is such an awesome movie. I read the book when it first came out. Cried my eyes out reading it as well!
Same story here, saw them both within two days. Ouch.
Yeah I did the BIG CRY for about 1/2 hour during and after Seven Pounds! Haven t seen Marley and me yet.. It’s on my NETFLIX list though! Hope the tweak is gone from your back!
I can’t do sad movies. Thanks for the warning.
Have you read Marley and Me yet? Its much better than the movie- and yes, you’ll cry even more than the movie!
Haven’t seen Marley yet, but I do remember there being “sonething in the air” during Seven Pounds.
Okay, so I cried. Great movie.
