A FAMILY LEARNS IMPORTANT LIFE LESSONS FROM THEIR ADORABLE, BUT NAUGHTY AND NEUROTIC DOG.
When a dog wriggles his adorable rear end into a human's life, the human will never be the same. And both Marley, the dog, and
Marley & Me, the movie, manage to endear themselves deeply despite a few wee flaws. Readers of the John Grogan bestseller already know the raffish charm of the incorrigible yellow lab puppy, Marley, adopted by Grogan and his wife because she's "never seen anything more adorable in my life." But Grogan's simple tale of love, in all its forms, shines on the big screen, thanks to deft comic turns by Jennifer Aniston--in top form here--and Owen Wilson. Their chemistry is utterly natural and believable as Marley's owners, as is their interaction with the very naughty but ultimately irresistible Marley. As Marley grows up, the film follows his escapades--flunking out, spectacularly, from puppy training at the hands of a wickedly funny Kathleen Turner. And as Marley grows up, John and Jenny build their life together and weather some tough emotional blows. Like
My Dog Skip, which it resembles in its affection for its subject,
Marley & Me is a tear-jerker, but in the sweetest, most lovely way--because it, and its four-legged star, have wriggled into our hearts. Good boy. --

*Short review*
This is a good movie. It's realy cute.
BUT not to spoil anything bring tissues. And get your laptop afterwords and go watch 666heartless666's videos on youtube to chear you up.
Too SAD!I walked out of a theater full of crying, sniffling people.
Beware, especially if you get sad easily. |

| When looking at the cover my first thought was that this looked like a sweet tale to share with children and it is- partially! But the movie is filled with very adult and disturbing themes that are not good for young viewers! Also upon the end of this film, almost every young child and several older ones as well, are left in tears of sadness and distress! That is not a component for a good movie in my opinion! If you are a dog lover this will distress and sadden you, if you are a small child this will bore you and break your heart and if you are a cold young adult who laughs in the face of death and thinks distructiveness is charming and amusing, then purchase this and it will be money well spent! |
| Marley And Me (Two-Disc Bad Dog Edition) (2009)-2 disk edition was a good deal! | 2010-07-22 | 3 / 5 |

Marley And Me (Two-Disc Bad Dog Edition) (2009) was a nice package for what I purchased it for. The movie appears to have turned on many dog lovers who gave the movie high star reviews. However, it also turned off a good number of dog owners who feel that it is an owners responsibility to be the alpha and provide some discipline for their pets. Marley was indeed a bad, willful but not mean spireted dog and needed some loving discipline.
Although I agree with them I feel this was a good (but not great) film and enjoyed it for what it was worth. For one thing the makers felt this film should not overemphasize Marley as a puppy. So we were not treated to many scenes of Marley as a young pup. If we had, the ending probably would have been much more effective.
One scene of Owen Wilson house training the dog was very funny and showed him using his own lawn for an object lesson in not using the house as a bathroom. The dog followed his lead and quickly did his thing. But Owen was spotted by a neighbor. I believe this scene was cut from the final film.
By the way, I only paid $7 for the double disk set recently at COSTCO and it was worth every bit of this very modest price. |
