Marley & Me

Pros: Cute doggie scenes, terrific performances, delivers a great message.
Cons: I wish puppies would stay little forever!!

Marley & Me is a movie about a bad dog.  A really bad dog.  One who gives new meaning to "mischievous".  But if you think it's just another silly movie about a bad dog, think again.  This movie is so much more, ...

Pros: Very good cast, strong storyline well handled...
Cons: ... it did feel like maybe 20 minutes longer than it should have been...

Marley and Me is the story of the world's worst dog.  Well actually it isn't - it's the story of how one man's life changes after getting a puppy for his wife in the hope of slowing down her maternal urges.   The story goes through ...

Pros: Excellent script with a message, great acting from the entire cast incuding the dog
Cons: None

When we went to this film this weekend, I really didn't know what to expect.  I hadn't read the book by John Grogen that the film is based on nor had I seen many trailers.  I went with my two adult children, my 11 year old niece and my 4 year ...

Pros: Good screenplay and direction, performances of Wilson, Arkin and Turner
Cons: Some will find fault with pacing and ending

In the time leading up to my viewing of "Marley & Me," I couldn't help but think of Kelly, the last dog to share a home with me. Unlike Marley, a purebred Labrador dog, Kelly was a clearance dog of a different sort. Advertised as a purebred collie, ...

Pros: A few funny dog scenes
Cons: This movie is so depressing it's beyond ridiculous

This Christmas my family and I went to visit my parents in Canada as we normally do.  We decided to go and see our annual 'Christmas Movie' and we had heard that Marley & Me was supposed to be cute and funny.  We all have dogs we ...

Pros: A fun film that's more than a slapstick dog. It's deals well with married life.
Cons: Too many sofas were injured and maimed in the making of this film.

This review does introduce some of the storyline without leading to spoilers.My wife and I went to the movies today to see Marley and Me. She has been talking about it for a while noting that she read it was a good family film with the ...

Pros: Realistic, beautiful, engaging story, well done and well acted family movie
Cons: Sad, marketed as light comedy when it is not

I just saw this movie with my wife and my nine year old daughter. Even though I found the movie to be quite sad and upsetting, I have to say that it was a great movie; in fact, it was among the best movies that I have seen in recent years. For several ...

Pros: Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson work well with one another.  Alan Arkin provides laughs
Cons: The movie struggles for authenticity.

I am not a curmudgeon, really I'm not.  You can ask around Epinions. I love my wife, I love my kids, I've loved my dogs and I'm pretty familiar by now with this circle of life thing. I'm a guy who thinks it's okay for a guy to ...

Pros:
Adorable doggie scenes, endearing and relatable story.
Cons: Some of the movie may not be suitable for very young children.

It's strange. I wanted to go out to the movies specifically for a few laughs and ended up with bloodshot eyes from crying yet still having a good time. Last night my neighbor and I decided to head out to the theater in hopes of lifting our post-seasonal ...

Pros: Very clean cut no nudity or bad language.
Cons: You will need some Kleenex at the end of the movie.

If you are a dog lover, such as my wife and I are.  Then you will definitely want to see this movie.  Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson do an excellent job of a couple trying to raise three children and an un-ruefully dog that likes to have ...

Pros: Cute dog. Decent acting.
Cons: Not a comedy, sex, miscarriage, drinking, main character funeral, post-partum depression

My family and I went to see the movie Marley & Me on Christmas day. Like many others we wanted a fun family movie. This one was advertised as a comedy film for families. The poster features an adorable big eyed puppy. That was too tempting for this ...

Pros: Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston and the children.  Okay, Marley, too.
Cons: The ending.

My parents came over last night and invited us to a movie.  Of course the guys went to see a different movie, while us "girls" chose to see Marley and Me.  Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston are John and Jenny Grogan.  They are ...

Pros: great movie, lots of laughs and a few tears
Cons: can be sad.  still completely worth it!!!

It has been my first year at Epinions today!  I remember what seems like yesterday when I found this website.  At the time I was just looking to make a quick buck and maybe a website where I could write some.  Little did I know that I ...

Pros: Wonderfully warm hearted movie for the whole family.
Cons: Wish the ending was a little brighter.

This is a movie I had been dieing to see every since I saw the main characters of this movie on the Oprah Winfrey show! Marley & Me stars Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston two of my favorite actors. They had such a fun time talking about all the funny ...

Pros: Comedy with a dog involved.
Cons: Poor flow of the film.

Marley and me started out as a comedy about a young couple that was trying to decide which way they wanted to go in life. To this end, the husband (Owen Wilson) got a dog (eventually named Marley) at the suggestion of his friend. The dog was to fill the ...
