Marley & Me



2008, ***1/2, PG

Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston star in this film about life with the family dog, a rambunctious yellow lab pup, they name Marley. As many of us know mans best friend is really more than a friend, he’s family.

This film is a comedy, and a tearjerker, especially when you know how difficult it can be grow up with an animal, (which feels like forever) and then they are gone in a flash.

The movie covers a lot of ground; a marriage, starting a family, job issues, centered on the growth of the family and hard times, funny and sad, with the family dog.

I believe this movie was well done, but I did find it difficult towards the end. Pet lovers will understand. It is worth a watch.
