"Marley and Me" exceeds anything that you might expect from an animal-comedy movie. Marley is a wild dog who finds a loving family with John and Jen Grogan (Owen Wilson & Jennifer Anniston). The movie is a chronology of the Grogan family's life with the "world's worst dog."
The movie is surprisingly poignant and beautiful. Wilson and Anniston really nail their performances and give starkly realistic portrayals of their characters, two middle-class parents in everyday life experiences. Their time with Marley is fun, wild, loving, and beautiful.
If you're a dog lover, this movie will tickle you to no end. If you're in need of a pick-me-up on a bad day, this heartwarming adventure will leave you feeling good by the end, if not just a bit heartbroken.
Don't write this movie off. It's a wonderful story with a lot of love to give.
