...I really enjoyed the book, Marley and Me by John Grogan and have finally gotten around to watching the DVD, hoping it would live up to the book and be as funny as it could be. I thought it was going to be a bit of a hard prospect as although the book was really funny I was uncertain that it would actually fill a whole movie but overall I think the film did a good job. Marley and Me spent more than a year on the New York Times bestseller list and ... ...of their lives and how Marley the dog enriched it. He and his wife Jenny were just married and enjoying their quiet life. They knew they wanted to have children but just not yet so they came up with the next best thing, a cute little Labrador puppy. What they got once the puppy grew up was 97 pounds of crazy, unpredictable, un-trainable dog who changed their life forever! I think parts of the film were perhaps a bit mundane as they needed to build ...

The plot for this film may sound a little basic but there is a lot which I have left out of my summery as I think it would spoil the film for those who have not watched it yet if I give away any more of the plot. The story for me was a lovely one. I completely fell in love with Marley from the first scene he was in. I found he was definitely the star ...

...a puppy. Along the way Marley provides John with plenty of material for his newspaper column and as their family grows the film highlights the importance the dog plays in all of their lives. This is another film that I have to be honest and say I wasn't that bothered about seeing. It was one that Jenny wanted to see from the first time she saw the trailer but I didn't think it really appealed to me at all. We sat down to watch it last night and I ... ...playing the various stages of Marley really steal the show. There is something loveable about the out of control puppy, probably the fact he belongs to someone else and you find yourself forming a bond with the dog throughout the movie. The direction and way the script is written lead you into loving the dog and it certainly works. It seems strange to think that actors like Wilson and Aniston would play the supporting cast to a dog but that's exactly ...

Marley And Me is about a blossoming family generated by the love and fusion of the relation of John and Jennie. Both main characters write for Newspapers and soon decided to get a dog. Not long after, they discover that Marley is going to be a huge part of their life, more then they thought orginianally. After the family grows and time passes by, a heart-wrenching ending is soon to become in this amazing movie.
Without a doubt, this film is one ... ...see this film when it came out at the Cinema, and at first I wasn't too sure what it was about, yeah I knew it was about a couple and their dog Marley, but I wasn't actually sure if this was going to be a quick funny film or a real in-depth story telling movie. Once getting into the movie I did realise that this is a proper, proper movie and I was going to enjoy it, if you understand what I'm trying to say.
The storyline is great, a real down-to-earth ...

...Worst Dog in The World’, Marley continues to disrupt the couple’s attempts at keeping a nice home and a calm relationship. The mayhem continues throughout the couple’s married life and into the lives of their young offspring when they are born.
Time passes, the children grow, the family moves house. And as for Marley?…. Well, he’s still the Worst dog in the world………isn’t he?
~ MY OPINION ~
I thought this was a lovely film. I was under the impression ... ...the actress in other films, Marley & Me really gave her a chance to show her talents to their full potential and would surely silence any critics.
Without giving away too much, there are a few really touching moments in the film - one in particular is quite near the start of the film and I felt that the actress was genuinely touched by this storyline. Whether this is the case or not, she handled a delicate subject matter with grace and any viewers ...

Marley and Me has no outstanding thrills, no legendary romance or not even an extraordinary plot. But it is still one of the movies that I love the most because of the sweetness and simplicity of it. I believe that this is the perfect movie for dog lovers like me, or for anyone who ever made their pet a part of their family. There was some really great acting, especially from Jennifer Aniston and as expected, the dog in the film played the most vital ... ...based on the book Marley and Me and having read the book, I can easily say that for me, it was quite an accurate representation of all the wonderful and profound feelings that are included in the book. The movie was so touching and moving that I kept crying from start to end; I believe that I can truly say that I have never watched a more sentimental film before!
The story depicts John and Jenny, a newly married couple who are adapting themselves ...

He had found himself writing obituaries and stories that were of no real importance, something he had not expecting moving to Florida.

...will love the 2008 film, Marley and Me. This film was directed by David Frankel and is based on a book by John Grogan.
Marley and Me is about newly married couple, John (Owen Wilson) and Jenny Grogan (Jennifer Aniston), who are both newspaper journalists.

I really enjoyed this film and thought that the story was engrossing and entertaining. The dog that played Marley is very well trained and manages to cause all manner of mayhem. There are plenty of funny scenes, which will melt the heart of even the hardest critic of animals. Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston are good in their roles, but the ...
