Amazon.co.uk Review
When a dog wriggles his adorable rear end into a human's life, the human will never be the same. And both Marley, the dog, and Marley & Me, the movie, manage to endear themselves deeply despite a few wee flaws. Readers of the John Grogan bestseller already know the raffish charm of the incorrigible yellow lab puppy, Marley, adopted by Grogan and his wife because she's "never seen anything more adorable in my life." But Grogan's simple tale of love, in all its forms, shines on the big screen, thanks to deft comic turns by Jennifer Aniston--in top form here--and Owen Wilson. Their chemistry is utterly natural and believable as Marley's owners, as is their interaction with the very naughty but ultimately irresistible Marley. As Marley grows up, the film follows his escapades--flunking out, spectacularly, from puppy training at the hands of a wickedly funny Kathleen Turner. And as Marley grows up, John and Jenny build their life together and weather some tough emotional blows. Like My Dog Skip, which it resembles in its affection for its subject, Marley & Me is a tear-jerker, but in the sweetest, most lovely way--because it, and its four-legged star, have wriggled into our hearts. Good boy. --A.T. Hurley, Amazon.com

Format:Blu-ray
Let get this out of the way, to have written a book on your life with your dog is strange enough, especially if you weren't really that famous worldwide.
To make it into a film is lunacy!
Unless you are a film house knowing the amount of people that have and love dogs then you are basically a cynical movie mogul
The truth is if you are a dog lover you'll laugh at the shared experiences of an unrulely hound, you'll wince at the shared embarrasment of the public exhibitions of your lack of control you'll share the grief of the inevitable day when you have to say goodbye.
The beauty in this film is that it doesn't pretend to be anything else than the life story of a dog who happens to be bestowed upon two very unprepared owners and much as parents learn with their first child we all learn with our first dog.
This is a heartwarming and funny journey through someone else's hell to paradise to the heartrending days that all follow pet ownership.
As a BR disc its not a bad transfer, the sound is good.
Overall a good film if you love this subject, if you don't ... just avoid.

Format:DVD
This beautifully mastered movie focus' on fun-loving, newly weds John (Owen Wilson) and Jennifer Grogan (Jennifer Anniston) and their highs and lows of becoming the owners of the playful pup which we all know, to be Marley.
As the film progresses you really experience the thrills and highlights of the couples life with the new addition to the family, and the experiences that they have to put up with.
The couple instantly fall in love with there lively, little labrador but soon experience the struggles with owning the mischievous animal; He won't respond to any command, messes up the house and causes utter chaos!
Although the couple can't seem to control their adorable, but naughty and neurotic dog, he does seem to teach them new life skills. The director, due to the well written storyline, is also able to manipulate the audience so that when they leave the theatre they have learnt new life skills too. He is able to create images within the viewers head and from these the audience are able to depict their own views and opinions about the characteristics and morals which are clearly illustrated throughout.
I would strongly advise you to view this movie as it is like a ride, it has highs and lows. The quirky comedy elements make you smile throughout and of course the sympathetic elements that bring tears to your eyes.
Overall this is a classic family film, suitable for any audience whatever time of year!

i can honestly say... i only see my dad cry when something is really sad...which is only 3 times in all the years i have known him. He isnt exactly the type to cry in films. Yeah... we do have dogs and he loves them to bits obvs but he isnt like a huge dog lover... say... everytime he sees one he would go up to it and hug it.
Anyway i love the book and the film just as much. How can they make you love a dog so much when you havent even met it? it is really funny and i really enjoyed it. i just didnt like it when Marley dies:'(

A must for dog-lovers
I would recommend this film to anyone who loves a dog, but only watch it on your own, as you'll make a complete fool of yourself - and have a full box of tissues to hand!

Awful film with an awful ending
Awful film with an awful ending. I am an animal lover and didn't like this at all; the drawn-out euthanasia ending was gratuitous and not for kids - I could not believe the close... Read more
