I read the book so many years ago but today was the first day I watched the movie. In the middle, I was thinking it was kind of too much of the scenes that show us how naughty Marley is, but then I realized this is a must-have, nothing should be cut, cause I missed the naughty Marley so badly towards the ending. I wish I can have a labrador too, just not too sure I'll be mature enough to face losing him. This is an excellent movie.
