ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
joemjv This movie is a wonderful picture for the phrase "Man's best friend" and puts on a realistic show about building a family. The story is also surprisingly good - I never felt that sad while watching a movie, but I also enjoyed every moment of it. Owen Wilson is quite the comedy genius and as always, Jennifer Aniston's performance was stunning. I did not expect this from a movie about a dog.If you have not watched this movie yet, you should definitely watch it because it is beautiful.
HotToastyRag I know you're going to want to see this movie. Owen Wilson—cutie pie, Jennifer Aniston—America's sweetheart, and a dog. Of course you're going to want to see it! Don't. Especially if you love dogs. The true story of an extremely selfish man whose bond with his dog exceeds his relationship with his wife. If it wasn't a true story, I would have faulted the screenwriter for writing such a one-dimensional "typical male" character, but since this person actually existed, I can only imagine how frustrated he must have been with his screen representation. Either that, or it was a realistic characterization and he didn't notice what a terrible person the world now knows he is.The "me" of Marley & Me aside, you still shouldn't see this movie if you're a dog or animal lover. I know I make it my policy to never give away spoilers, so hopefully I won't have to and you'll heed my warning. The preview of the movie will show lots of gags with the dog and some one-liners from Owen Wilson, but actually, this is a total tearjerker. If you've ever had a pet in your life, you will bawl. If you really want to put yourself through that, go ahead. I wouldn't go so far as to say I wish I hadn't seen it, but I'll remember the sadness for many years to come.
oragex I give it 10/10 not because is a masterpiece, but because it's the first script that matches real life situations and dialogs.I don't get why the movie is titled/subject about a dog, this movie is rather about a normal couple who married, has kids, moves for a new job, and so on.It is the first 'family' (actual for couples only) film that I enjoyed watching, simply because all dialogs, couple disputing scenes, are exactly like the ones you will experience in your couple life.I'm not a dog guy, and not a Jeniffer fan (but I like Owen). But the acting and directing is spot on on this film, Jeniffer is brilliant in her character - it seems she's at her best doing 'real life' characters. Owen is a little off track in his role, not bad but he's too much of a funny guy character to fit in this role. It's rather his match with Jeniffer that makes up for his play.And their kids are well represented through different stages in life.
SnoopyStyle After a snow storm during their wedding, reporters John (Owen Wilson) and Jennifer Grogan (Jennifer Aniston) move to sunny Florida. First they get jobs, then they get a house, and now she's going through the rest of her steps. He surprises her to get a puppy to hold off the kid step. She picks the runt of the litter, Clearance Puppy.Aniston and Wilson have good chemistry in this movie. They seem like a real couple. Wilson has plenty of charm, and everybody loves a puppy. This is a very cute movie. It just needs a few more written jokes. Kathleen Turner is perfect set to go crazy as the dog trainer, but she just never gets wacky. That's what's missing from this movie. It needs a wacky side character. There is a lot of Marley misbehaving, and that's kind of fun. And then there is heart break also. It feels like a real couple with some cuteness added. When the sad parts come, they always hit the mark.
