Idyllic upper middle class family outlives their dog in this heartwarming Hallmark card. My favorite part is when Jennifer Aniston complains about how she looks at 40.

Marley & Me makes such an excellent novel because it is so heartfelt, written firmly grounded in the real world and injecting the all too familiar everyday humour that dog owners have come to know and love. Unsurprisingly, this is exactly where the film adaptation goes totally wrong. Unmistakably over-polished to a caricature of Hollywood standards, immediately labelled as a comedy and carelessly slapped with big names, it looses the simple realism and pleasure of the novel. Wilson is damn poor.

I enjoyed it, it was entertaining, but nothing more than that. Thought it would be funnier, I didn't really expect the sad ending, but maybe that's a good thing. Actually all the funny moments in the movie we can already see in the trailer, and that's certainly not a good thing. On the other hand, I could really recognize myself in Owen Wilson. If you are a doglover, you have to see this movie.

You just can't grow up watching stuff like the original _Halloween_ and _Mad Max_ and _Eraserhead_ and then like something as hidebound and conformist as this movie. It's sweeter-spirited and less distasteful than, say, _Four Christmases_, but it's just so... NORMAL. And completely laughless, to boot

Very good at doing what it sets out to do, show us an upper class suburban life from a couple just getting married and starting to settle down to seeing their kids begin to grow up. It generally keeps the mood appropriate with light bits of comedy. I didn't like the dog, though, and that beast is central to the story so some parts, especially the ending, got really tedious. If you like dogs and movies with a little bit of sappiness you'll love this.

Owen Wilson is totaly a misscast. He aint terrible but misscasted. Also it aint have the essence of the novel. Yet it was a heartwarming and heartbreaking. Bitter&Sweet Movie with great moments.

As a sucker for cute dog movies, this is fundamentally miscalculated; presenting Marley as a prop “Dog From Hell” with little redeeming qualities, the abrupt turn to gushy emotion at the finale feels unearned and manipulative because the audience is never sold on Marley as a character, or the connection between him and his owners. It leaves the film an overlong, cloying experience with its best moments weighted near the beginning, especially Turner’s spin-off worthy militaristic dog trainer.

Based on a bestselling memoir, Marley & Me is about John and Jenny Grogan who, fresh from walking down the aisle, move to sunny Palm Beach, Fla., to start their lives together. There they quickly find jobs at competing newspapers ... and get a dog. Then they all live happily ever after. Yeah, right. (pluggedin.com)

If you're going to make a movie about a dog, make the dog the central character and give him a personality, don't make me watch 90 minutes of Owen Wilson & Jennifer Aniston's family planning and clichéd American Dream lives. The dog here had less personality than Beethoven, and his parts were largely tacked on at the start and end. Also, this was a family movie and I was disappointed with the lack of nudity, rudeness and dirty humour that would have gone hand-in-hand with the dog theme.

Marley & Me gets a lot of stick, but I have to admit I have a soft spot for this film. It plods along at a pretty un-engaging pace and doesn't have much direction. But there is undeniable heart to this film, the characters are likeable and all the dogs playing Marley at various ages are all great. Wilson and Aniston give the bare minimum. Arkin steals the show whenever he makes an appearance. As a comedy this falls flat, but as a heartwarming family film, it's relatable, emotional and likeable.

Kind of plods along for about 75% of the run time and the characters, especially the children, are such 'family film' stereotypes. Wilson and Aniston are OK, but the greatest draw of the film is Marley and he certainly reaches for our hearts - especially if you're an animal/dog owner. In a loving atmosphere, pets really do become a part of the family who can enrich our lives. That's the simple message of the film. Nothing more substantial, but the final half hour does make this worth watching.

If you want a story about a cute dog causing trouble, Marley & Me isn't for you, as the dog doesn't become the primary focus of the film. Instead, we get to watch a couple begin to raise a family, and deal with all of the problems that arise in this task. The film tries to hit hard emotionally, but it fails to do so. The dog is cute, and the parts of the film that focus on it are fun, but the rest of the film is too boring and long to bother with. It's not terrible, but it isn't great either.

The film is packed with frantic, pooch-driven comedy. It also depicts the way the lifespan of a family pet can carry through huge changes for the humans in the household. Passing across years like a skipping stone, the film has a nice feel for the way the consistency of a relationship with a beloved dog can give its humans something dependable to hold on to when uncertainty and sadness creep in elsewhere. But the film has no emotional heft, an especially unexpected flaw given the subject matter.

I wouldn't watch it again, because I cried my eyes out! I just can't do dog movies. This was ok, it revolved more around the growing family than the dog. And the scene where the dogs are set free on the beach is possibly one of the happiest, greatest scenes ever. I wouldn't consider this movie a comedy though.
