I would definitely say Hotel for Dogs. Marley and me is a great movie, but more adult and will make you cry....don't know if a 5 year old is ready for that one.
I would take a 5 year old to "Hotel For Dogs" but not "Marley and Me". It's a weeper and although some people say it's "so family friendly", I think older children may be ok, but not a 5 year old who is going to see the dog die in the end (and lots of adult themes -marital, pregnancy/miscarriage, etc.).
HI,
Me and my 4 yr old daughter saw both of them. Marley was a good movie but I had NO IDEA how sad it was going to be! My daughter still loved it and even wanted to see it again but I did have to explain death a little more than I wanted to at this time. Hotel For Dogs is a wonderful movie, it does have a little sadness too but overall a really great movie. Have fun!!
My family and I saw Marley and me (wonderful movie!) but, had alot more adult like moments then I thought. Didn't like that even for my 8 yr old son.
I seen both movies with my children and I have to say that they both were good but " Marley and Me' was a little bit sadder and made my kids cry and me too.
no you are stupid if you think you can buy your daughter becaus that is what you are doing give her a slap n send her to bed
