Marley & Me

Caution: This Might Contain Spoilers!


If you enjoy reading my blog please become a follower! ^_^


This is a film adaptation of the autobiographical novel by John Grogan. This story begins with a marriage, and the purchase of puppy. He was quickly named Marley after the legendary singer Bob Marley, and it doesn't take long to see why he was cheaper than the other puppies. He begins to cause trouble immediately, and couples it with adorable puppy eyes. This story continues following the life of Marley, and his family John and Jennifer Grogan. 


Okay, now if a puppy is on sale there is very likely a reason for it. It's always good to ask first; however, in this case their puppy becomes a great influence on their lives. It combines emotional heartwarming-preserver through life-with humour. My favorite, sides liptting, sequence was watching Marley get kicked out of obedience school. The ending touched my heart. Owen Wilson does a great job portraying John Grogan as a man who is trying to find his place in life, and a man who truly loves his dog. Jennifer Aniston does a great job in the supporting role of Jennifer Grogan-the wife. She shows the challenge's of going from a career to motherhood. The story is mainly about Marley, but has a sub-text of family values and bypassing life's challenge's. (I found it interesting that the author John Grogan stated that he got the most response's he'd ever received for Marley's eulogy.) 


I give this film a 10 out of 10 stars! It's a great family film. It does feature some adult material, so it might be better to watch with older children. Anyway, it has a great heart warming story that yanks at your heart. 


Answer to last blog: Director Pierre Morel also directed the film From Paris With Love.


Que: How many dogs worked together to create the single character Marley in this film?
