Marley & Me : Movie Review


Starring: Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston

Director: David Frankel


Well guys Marley & Me is an adaptation of the autobiography of the same name Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog written by journalist John Grogan.
Owen Wilson plays the role of the journalist John Grogan and Jennifer Aniston plays his wife Jenny Grogan. the couple wants to start a family but they are not sure whether they are upto it so they decide to bring home a dog to see if they are ready to raise a family. the dog turns out to be the world's worst dog. But the film revolves around Marley for the 14 years that he was with John Grogan.

An excellent film and to say one of the finest movies where a human-pet relation is portrayed in such a exceptional way. Meanwhile there are other issues of the Grogan family when they have to deal with Marley once they get kids and the pressures of parenthood. Simply so realistic in today's world. This one is for the family because of the emotions that are present in this movie.

Owen Wilson has done a brilliant job and the story mostly revolves around him and Marley as he writes his column in a daily newspaper about Marley's antics and becomes an instant hit. Jennifer Aniston has given one of her finest performances here though she doesnt look anywhere close to the charm and beauty she once had. In simple words she looks old in this flick.

An excellent family entertainer

My Rating: 7/10
