MARLEY AND ME... HAVE TISSUES READYThis movie broke too many of my film reviewer rules: 1) Never see a movie with a dog in it. Never. Especially if it is about said dog. 2) See all Owen Wilson films no matter the reviews. 3) Avoid Jennifer Aniston films. 4) NEVER see a movie about a dog.
Based on real life, we follow the story of Josh and Jennifer Grogan, (Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston) writers for different Florida newspapers. True to form, their lives flow with a certain pace, marriage, house, family, careers; which includes an adorable puppy named Marley. I envisioned more of a light movie, but along with the obvious comedy came the drama and it surprisingly was done equally as well. Slowly we get sucked into their lives that we don't realize how much we actually care about them toward the end of the film. The end of the film is strong and based on real life, not the Disney typical happy endings. I fully recommend this film for both dog lovers and haters.
BITE: A sweet and believable story about the twists and turns in real life.
