Marley & Me [DVD] [2008]
When a dog wriggles his adorable rear end into a humans 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 shes “never seen anything more adorable in my life.” But Grogans 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 Marleys 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. –A.T. Hurley, Amazon.com

a real tear jerker of a film.I honestly preferred the book which was written from the heart… a true story,not distracted from by the other characters in the story…just you and the author, and of course,that wonderful dog!

Having previously read the book “Marley & Me” I was a little apprehensive that the film might be disappointing. This was not the case. I watched the film with my seven year old daughter during a wet afternoon on her school half term break.
My daughter also enjoyed it enormously and was very supportive when I failed to prevent the tears from forming at the already known sad ending.
