Marley and me didn't make me cry. at all.

It has been said that Marley and Me makes even real grown men sob like babies and that if you don't cry you're a heartless bastard. Well then...I'm a heartless bastard, because not one tear was shed at the ending.

Was it sad? Yes, it was quite sad. However, I felt the ending went way too fast for me to feel emotional, and by the end credits I had recovered to normal mood. Besides, Marley was pretty old and his death wasn't very untimely: He died of old age. Of course, losing a friend will always hurt, regardless of age or cause. But to me, Marley & Me wasn't terribly tragic, or anywhere near the "saddest movie ever" as people put it. It sounded just like a normal progression of the average American pet dog's life, with average drama.

To be clear, I have felt very emotional over some movies, but Marley and Me didn't push me that far.

Is it normal not shed a single tear at Marley & Me?

    I have never heard someone say "those who don't cry over Marley and Me are heartless bastards", and I'm pretty sure they don't mean it and are using that statement more like an expression. Almost as if to say "this film is very heartbreaking and only the Devil wouldn't cry." I'm pretty sure they don't mean it.

    And yes. It's very normal, some people are just more sensitive than others.

    They used to say, if a Miss America doesn't cry when she is crowned shes a cold bitch.
    Um maybe she doesn't want to ruin her mascara! Maybe shes actually happy! Maybe fake crying is unappealing!
    Don't worry youre normal.

    I haven't seen it but I'm the kind of person who doesn't need much to get emotional.

    That movie was boring, that's why you didn't cry.

    Try not shedding a tear to some of these gems:

    Some movies just don't hit home for people, you're good.
    People cry their eyes out over The Notebook, and i don't feel a thing for that movie. Great movie, sad ending, but not cry worthy for me.

    I didn't cry either even though it was sad. I didn't like that movie because the dog died. It ruined my day and made me feel suckered out of my money :(
