Well it is not a G-rated movie, it is PG. .It looks kind of spooky too.I debated about taking my 5 yr old and decided not to. I wasn't surprised about Marley and ME, it was also not a G rating, and it was very publicized that it does not have a happy ending.Plus ,we had our dog put down late 2007 and I had no desire to relive it or have my 5 yr old go thru it again, daily questions about my dog are enough.So I didn;t take DD to that either
