Anybody who knows me knows that I am obsessed with animals so any film that is to do with animals and it is a winner in my opinion. Now I watched Marley and Me on the plane coming back from America so this a film only review but I may buy the DVD at some point so when I do I will update you with the special features. I thought this film was not ...  Read the complete review

If you want a film with a mix of drama, comedy and romance, Marley and Me is the film for you. Dog lovers please beware there is also a mix of sadness in the film as the story draws to an end, but to be honest i think that's why the film is a true reflection of everyday life for dog owners. Starring Jennifer Anniston and Owen Wilson, the story is ...  Read the complete review

This is a great film, with lots of twists and turns to keep you watching. It's fun to watch and very well directed, so much so that owning a dog I started to feel my heart strings pulled towards the end, something that wouldn't usually happen. The film follows the book, and I think it does this very well, with the same great plot. In ...  Read the complete review

However, the puppy (Marley) causes havoc from day one and the film follows the Grogans through their lives with Marley.

Laughter, tears and the naughtiest dog in the world. I really enjoyed the book, Marley and Me by John Grogan and have finally gotten around to watching the DVD, hoping it would live up to the book and be as funny as it could be. I thought it was going to be a bit of a hard prospect as although the book was really funny I was uncertain ...  Read the complete review

Marley and Me has no outstanding thrills, no legendary romance or not even an extraordinary plot. But it is still one of the movies that I love the most because of the sweetness and simplicity of it. I believe that this is the perfect movie for dog lovers like me, or for anyone who ever made their pet a part of their family. There was some really ...  Read the complete review

As a 24 year old male i really shouldnt be divulging the kind of information to the world that i am about to, so please do not pass this on :-) I watched this film on the plane heading to the far east. On the plane you get a selection of films to choose from and whilst i was watching one film, i noticed in the corner of my eye my ...  Read the complete review

I was waiting ages for this movie to come out ... owen wilson and jennifer anniston couple was one that you really dont want to miss. What made it all the more exciting was the fact that it looked a good decent family comedy movie. AND thats sure what it turned out to be. I watched with my family and the movie definitely had chuckles here and ...  Read the complete review

Please note that I'm basing this review on watching the film at the cinema rather than on DVD, so it doesn't take account of any special features or extras which may be available on this. Based on the book of the same title, Marley & Me tells the story about a dog a couple decide to get, and is a journey from where they first get ...  Read the complete review

As an avid dog lover Marley and Me appealed to me from the start. As the adverts started to appear on the television I made the decision to read the book first and fell in love with the loveable character that is Marley. The film is a brilliant adaptation of the book. It takes the best parts out of the book and manages to produce the same ...  Read the complete review

Marley and Me is a good film for a family to sit down and watch together but not really one for real film buffs as it doesn't have much depth to it. In my opinion like a few other recent attempts, this is another case of the film isn't as good as the book. The film basically charts the life and growth of the relationship of the two main ...  Read the complete review

Marley and Me is a film for all the family, this is a hearty film, with laughter, sadness and very realistic events. It is a must for all dog lovers, you will definatley be able to relate to the antics of adorable Marley, even if you don't own a dog its still worth watching. The story goes along the lines of, A couple buy a ...  Read the complete review

I saw the adverts for Marley and Me a few months ago and we decided to finally rent it. I'm not a dog lover really but my partner is, and I have to be honest, his dog is REALLY cute and a lot of the things that Marley does, she also does - luckily she is a quarter of the size of the dog in the film so doesn't cause any real problems. I think if ...  Read the complete review

I was given this dvd to watch and I kept it for a while before I watched it as it was not a film that really appealed to me. I am not a huge fan of films with animals in and although I am a fan of Jennifer Aniston (from her days in Friends) I find her films are usually quite tame. The is based around a couple, John and Jenny, who are both ...  Read the complete review

Just watched this film last night with my husband and boy did we both cry. It is the story of John Grogan a Florida Journnalist and his crazy white labrador Marley. It is taken from the book Marley and me. John Grogan is played by Owen Wilson and Grogan's wife Jen is played by Jennifer Aniston. For precisley this reason I had avoided ...  Read the complete review
