To the men who have just recovered from the chick flick onslaught that came with the Sex and the City movie, brace yourselves. Coming up in December is a chick flick that may not be as big, but will most definitely be unavoidable. Not only does it star an adorable puppy-- who doesn't like a puppy?!-- but it also stars a guy, which means other guys will not be able to beg off nearly as easily and say it calls for a girl's night out.
Marley and Me is adapted from a book by, yes, a dude, but believe me, it'll be a tearjerker in the way only a true chick flick can be. Still, the new trailer, posted today on the official website doesn't reveal any weepy moments. In fact, it doesn't reveal much at all. They've put together an entire trailer based on footage of an adorable dog running down the beach, and then a little bit of Jennifer Aniston's boobs bouncing up and down as she runs. Seriously, that's it. Owen Wilson's in the movie too, but you wouldn't really know it from the trailer. Puppies and boobs is pretty much all we've got here.
So hey! Maybe we've got a movie here that actually does try to appeal to men. Really, I know the book Marley and Me has a huge legion of followers, and there will be plenty of people excited for this one, but I'm having trouble mustering up the energy. That doesn't mean I won't wind up seeing this with my mom on Christmas Day. Though I've got to admit, the puppy is damn cute.
