Title: Should Have Been PG-13
Review: I read the book. I knew it would be sad. But I also knew it would be funny, as Marley was quite the character.Generally, when books are made into movies, something gets lost in the translation from book to screen. That said, I didn't have high expectations. With a PG rating though, I thought it would be 'safe' enough to allow my 5 and 6 year old to watch Marley's antics. How wrong I was. We ended up turning it off about 20 minutes into the movie. The sexual innuendos aren't the kind that go over the kids' heads. They were pretty blatant, which was surprising given its PG rating. This should have been PG-13, no question.Later, when the kids were in bed, my husband and I gave it another shot. It was just 'ok'. Pick up the book if you're really interested in Marley and how he was the 'worst dog' ever.
