The Hospitality and Fellowship Team at St. John's is proud to present "Marley and Me" for our first family movie night in the back parking lot at St. John's on Friday August 7th. The show will start around 815pm or maybe a little later depending on how dark it is.
From amazon.com's review of Marley and Me-
"When a dog wriggles his adorable rear end into a human's life, the human will never be the same. And both Marley, the dog, and Marley & Me, the movie, manage to endear themselves deeply despite a few wee flaws. Readers of the John Grogan bestseller
already know the raffish charm of the incorrigible yellow lab puppy,
Marley, adopted by Grogan and his wife because she's "never seen
anything more adorable in my life." But Grogan's simple tale of love,
in all its forms, shines on the big screen, thanks to deft comic turns
by Jennifer Aniston--in top form here--and Owen Wilson. Their chemistry
is utterly natural and believable as Marley's owners, as is their
interaction with the very naughty but ultimately irresistible Marley.
As Marley grows up, the film follows his escapades--flunking out,
spectacularly, from puppy training at the hands of a wickedly funny
Kathleen Turner. And as Marley grows up, John and Jenny build their
life together and weather some tough emotional blows. Like My Dog Skip, which it resembles in its affection for its subject, Marley & Me
is a tear-jerker, but in the sweetest, most lovely way--because it, and
its four-legged star, have wriggled into our hearts. Good boy."
The flick is rated PG and runs just under two hours.
Bring your lawn chairs and drinks. The Team will have popcorn available for purchase.
