Re: SFF TITLE CHANGE: Marley & Me

[Guest guest]

Thanks for posting in regards to the segment mentioned.

I was planning on taking my son to watch this movie of

Marley & Me but I know he will not tolerate too much scenes like this.

I just never know what kind of challenging behavior to tackle so

better safe than sorry.

My son did enjoy the Bedtime Stories, it was hilarious and a wonderful

outing with my son to enjoy this moment. My son was able to tolerate

it this movie.

Hope everyone enjoys this movie.
