Marley and Me
2008 – Comedy – PG
The Plot:
Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston go to the dogs with Marley & Me, a tale of a couple embarking on the adventure of marriage, career, family, and the world’s worst dog. At least that’s how writer and newlywed John comes to describe his blonde lab, Marley, when he takes the puppy home and finds that the fluff-ball has an uncanny ability to eat and/or destroy just about anything. As years go by, John and his wife, Jennifer, contemplate having babies and moving across the country, while Marley grows into 100 lbs. of funny, wild, completely untrainable canine companionship — as well as one of the most important people in the family. Marley & Me is based on the best-selling autobiographical book by columnist John Grogan. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide
The Good:
Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston, two actors/actresses that we know and love, do wonderful with their roles in this touching tale of life and love with a bad dog. Many people can relate to this, as I’m sure at one time or another every dog owner has thought they thay had the worst behaved dog, I know we sure have, especially during that puppy – I’m going to chew on everything in the house phase.
The Bad:
It wasn’t quite as good as the book, but then what movies are?
The Recommendation:
Marley and me will make you laugh out loud and possibly even shed a few tears. It’s definitely worth watching, whether or not you’re a dog lover!
