Marley & Me (Movie Review)



Watched it roughly around last week. Finally we get to see Owen Wilson acting in more serious and less shitty roles.. Jennifer Aniston is stunning in this show, potraying the nobleness of a woman giving up her job for her kids while Owen Wilson is the ever stressful father...

The movie starts off with both characters settling down with their new found jobs (related to newspaper articles) and working hard. Aniston is a perfectionist and sort of have her life "planned" out in steps, which is funny in some sense as Wilson gets stressed out trying to have a baby with her. Eventually, Wilson's friend recommended him to buy a puppy for Aniston in order for her to get used to taking care of a "baby".

Marley is one of the puppies available, he appears quiet and mild at first and was sold at a "Clearance Price" thus branding him the Clearance Dog.. That's when things start to go bad for the couple...

Marley chews, bites furniture.. even in one occassion swallowed a necklace Wilson bought for Aniston which was hilarious.. Wilson had to wait for Marley to poo to get the necky back... Wilson became a columnist at one time and wrote funny stories relating to Marley and his family every week, giving a great boost to his career. Life gets hectic once their first child came.. Aniston start to think that Marley is a chore etc.

Fast fwd a little, they eventually have 3 children... everything settled down and Marley grows old.. Its those heartwarming and sad movies,where the dog died in the end. Watch it before it's over in the cinemas, not a bad movie in my opinion though Ah Wen commented the book is funnier.

Rating: 7/10
