Wonderful character development!
Fresh and Exciting
Excellent but underrated film
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Really looked forward to watching this with the kids but it was very poor. Kids were bored and the dog was just plain annoying.
Amazing film, the last 15 minutes I was crying non-stop, whoever called that movie a COMEDY doesn't know what he's talking about, it's a DRAMA, hands down .Highly recommended !!!a must for any person who loves animals, and not only...
I have nothing against Dogs and I don't hate animals, but good heavens to god this movie is as generic as it gets. After finally getting around to watching it recently I knew this was going to be a sappy tear jerker that tries too hard to get you invested, but I had no clue it'd be this bad. The actors in the movie do good, Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston do well with the parts they're given and Kathleen Turner is hilarious in the minor part she has, but this movie is just predictable as it gets, you can literally see every scene coming from a mile away. YOU KNOW the dog is going to be untrainable yet they make something funny out of it. YOU KNOW the dog is going to get the family into a bunch of trouble yet the family will forgive the dog for stupid reasons even I can't comprehend. YOU KNOW the dog is going to *I'd call this SPOILERS but in all honesty it's a movie about a dog, if you don't know what's going to happen to the animal at the end, you should probably be watching Blue's Clues* die at the end of the movie from Gettheanimaloutofthemovieitis. I'd strongly suggest skipping out on this. It may have good performances, but a generic plot doesn't help the movie at all. Yet I don't know what's worse, the fact that this has a 7.1 at the moment, or the fact that there exists a direct to video sequel with talking animals. I'd say the former is the worse, but that's just me.
I still remember purchasing Marley & Me when I was in the second grade. I read the book and it was instantly my favourite ever and still is to this day. I was so excited when it came out in the cinema and I still remember my front row seats when I was just nine. I am now fifteen and when my friend asked me what sad movie she should watch I suggested Marley & Me; the minute I mentioned it I knew I had to watch it again and see if I would still love it just as much. I loved it even more. It brought me laughs, memories and so, so many tears. At the end of the film my face was bright red and puffy. This movie is a winner and if you think you're a dog lover test yourself and watch this film. I love dogs and always have, and this movie will really make you realise just how much of a huge impact dogs have on our lives. It is so enjoyable and is a mixture of everything great; emotion, humour and love. The actors bring out the best in the characters; animal and people. Do yourself a favour and buy a block of chocolate, a box of tissues and a copy of Marley & Me. And don't forget to have your pooch right by your side so you can bury yourself right into their fur when it ends.
