     Marley & Me
2008  PG  COMEDY-DRAMA  1h 55min
CAST— Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston, Eric Dane, Alan Arkin
MUSIC— Theodore Shapiro  DIRECTOR— David Frankel  BASED ON— Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog (book), by John Grogan

     The life and times of the world’s worst dog. Marley has an appetite for destruction and a craving for chaos. His masters (played convincingly by Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston) try and try, but keeping up with him is nigh impossible. As the years pass they go through life’s ups and downs: starting a family, changing jobs, buying homes; and Marley is a constant throughout. But, sadly, all times are not golden; though Marley is loyal to a fault, he’s not a puppy anymore. Though labeled a comedy the film deals with family drama and heartbreak more often than not, so a tissue or two wouldn’t hurt. Final note: though given a PG rating, be warned that the film contains coarse language and adult subject matter that may not be appropriate for the wee ones.
OUR RATING— ** ½
PRECEDED BY— Marley & Me: The Puppy Years (2011)
