Am I the only one who thought it sucked? Well, maybe not sucked, but it could have been WAY better. It was just a disappointment. =/

And no, I didn't cry at the end. I was actually bored out of my mind at that point and wishing the movie would just end.

Well, could have, but the movie hit home on a LOT of things for me, which I guess made it funnier at times.

You can't relate to the barking once the babies are finally sleeping unless you've been through it... about every day lol. And how she was mad at the dog because she was exhausted... yup, been there. Although I'm sure it was in the book too, I just read it before I had kids.

All in all, I liked it though, but it probably helps that I read the book a long time ago and I've forgotten a lot of it.

No you aren't alone. I thought it sucked as well.

I liked it, would not go so far as to say I LOVED it.... I also grew up with Labs and some of the antics were familiar... LOL but I do think you have to read the book as well... It's hard to cram all the feelings so well explained in the book, onto the screen... I did cry at the theatre when I saw it though, but though I rarely admit it I am a softie!!
