Marley & Me

source: Marley & Me

This is a nice movie with funny and touching moments, even though it's too long (115 minutes)for this kind of films, 95 minutes would have been prefect. I think "Marley & Me" deserves 6.5 stars. Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston do a good work like the nice couple with a naughty dog. I think is the perfect movie to be watched for couples at movie theaters because in that way they will enjoy more it between other people (especially the laughing parts). John and Jennifer Grogan are a couple who are having problems to have children that's why John buys a dog (Marley) so Jennifer can express her maternal feelings. The years go by and we see how the family is growing always with the company of Marley. I recommend you going to watch this movie with your gf/bf because and the end you will be happy having seen it.

The question on everybody's lips is "Did the dog die?" The answer may surprise you...... ......it dies.

This movie was HORRIBLE. If you have male plumbing, please do yourself a favor and either castrate yourself or DO NOT SEE this movie! It is predictable, lame and painstakingly repetitive. After about 15 minutes I was hoping to come down with dysentery so I could leave and not get the death look from the girlfriend. I saw Old Yeller as a kid and it didn't suck. Marley and me, however, did. When my girlfriend is ripping on a movie for being too sappy, you know that it is contrived. What? She couldn't have told me she hated it before it ended? Dang. I never realized how important communication was. Save yourself 2 hours of pain and $20. Go see something worth seeing.

The title makes no sense with what the movie really is about. It's a dramedy, with that indie flick approach. And the dog has close to no relevance to how the story unfolds. Except at the end, of course. His bad behavior gets old really fast. I've also noticed no dogs they picked for each stages of his life, looked alike. It prevents us from getting into the movie. It was mildly entertaining, not in a way that draws you in completely. I liked most of the actors and music, though. The ending would've been unexpected, if someone here didn't spoil it. Thank you for that...

This is not just a cute, feel-good movie about a crazy dog. I think a lot of people went into it thinking it would be another typical dog movie like Benji or Beethoven. It is so much more. This is a story about real life and real experiences. It chronicles the life of an honest to goodness real family and how the dog was a part of that family. It shows the ups and downs of growing older and finding out what is really important in life. Some have said that it is more graphic than need be. But I found the emotional reality to be a good thing. I'm glad it wasn't sugar-coated. No, this movie shouldn't be viewed as a "family movie." It deals with real life adult issues. Just because a movie is rated PG does not mean that it is meant for children. As a 31 year old with 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a baby on the way, I thought this movie was excellent!

Does not deliver. It was twenty minutes into the film I realised I was still waiting for something to happen, and reflected that really, that something might never eventuate. Jennifer A has the ability to look hot, and happy. She looks flat, and shows her age. As does Owen Wilson, and his whiney voice really stood out, as well, whiney. There was no realism in the story as no normal people would have put up with such a destructive, unlikeable dog. Also didn't recognise Kathleen Turner, and was disappointed such a gorgeous sparky actor was reduced into an uninteresting unlikeable person, she did a good job. The humour was so lame.. thats all i can stand to waste more time on this egotistical drivel.

Really. There are endless tons and tons of better dog movies than this around every corner. It's not too bad, but it's just whatever.

Excuse me for the fact that I don't have a dog, but could someone tell me what was the point of making this movie? Also I'm still trying to understand what was the scenario? I'm sure that the book is better (it's always better) than the movie, but what did the author tried to say to us? that his dog died when it got old and that the family that owned it cried when it died? Wow that's unbelievable unique!!!. I don't think that this has ever happened to anyone before. 7.2 at IMDb!!!!! wow there must be a lot of people here who own a dog. Were all the good scenarios have gone. Why do we have to see these movies? Is there a plan from Hollywood to make us stupid. Is earth going to be destroyed in 2012 and they are trying to make us numb, so we won't feel anything?

MARLEY & ME (2008) *** Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston, Eric Dane, Kathleen Turner, Alan Arkin, Nathan Gamble, Finley Jacobsen, Lucy Merriam. Heart-warming adaptation of John Grogan's best seller about a recently married couple (Wilson and Aniston) who adopt a cute Labrador puppy that becomes a rambunctious force of nature in the long run. Funny, sweet and at times poignant look at how pets can become very much a part of our lives and the lifelong affects throughout that special relationship. Wilson and Aniston have fine chemistry but it's the 22 supporting dogs that steal the show as Marley. (Dir : David Frankel)
