Marley and Me/Yes Man

The Christmas season is one of the biggest times for movies. The two biggest commercially are Marley and Me and Yes Man, each with signs of success but where one outweighs the other. Yes Man is a very mild success only (and I mean only) because of Jim Carrey and Marley and Me is a special treat for canine lovers and moviegoers alike. Those who flock to these movies will be those specifically looking for what they crave. For Yes Man, it's a reminder of old school Jim Carrey. For Marley and Me, it's a tearjerker packaged in wrapping paper with a big red bow shinning ever so brightly. In a last minute choice, I'd take the lovable canine labeled as the world's worst dog. It's a uniquely cute story that fits perfectly for the holiday season. Families: You've been briefed.
