MARLEY & ME

Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson, Eric Dane, Alam Arkin

"Heel the Love"


Star Movies

This feel good film focuses on John (Owen Wilson) and Jenny (Jennifer Aniston) Grogan and Marley, their rambunctious dog. Soon after they get married, John decided to 'fend' off Jenny's biological clock by getting a dog which they name after reggae pop star, Bob Marley.

The dog is quite impulsive, wreaks havoc all over their place but nevertheless the Grogans love him. Marley also features prominently in John's syndicated columns in a local newspaper. Shortly after, they decide to start a family and as their priorities (in both their career and lifestyle) start to change, Marley still remains a playful and faithful part of their growing brood.

The film starts out with a narration from John which vanishes throughout the film then resumes towards the end. It also gives a glossy view of a happy family existence where sacrifices and compromises abound. Decisions concerning career moves and what is best for one's family are explored as well. It is a nice family oriented movie which will cater to both pet and non pet lovers (like me!)
