Marley And Me (2008) 8/10

Starring : Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston, Eric Dane, Kathleen Turner, Alan Arkin
Director : David Frankel
Running Time : 116 mins

When John Grogan (Wilson) decides to buy his wife Jennifer (Aniston) a dog as a way of slowing her biological clock, they end up with Marley, the most badly behaved dog imaginable, yet as the years pass and Marley gets older, the couple soon learn to love the dog like it is their own child and learn some important life lessons along the way.

When I sat down to watch this I was expecting a slapstick comedy in the vein of Turner And Hooch, but instead I was given an emotional portrayal of the life of a naughty dog. Wilson and Aniston aren’t particularly brilliant in the lead roles, but some fine writing and a cute dog easily keep this entertaining and engaging from beginning to end.
