Marley & Me

Yesterday evening my mom, dad, and I decided to go see Marley & Me, starring Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson, and a load of yellow labrador retreivers.

This movie should win an Oscar. This is a good movie to see if you like being entertained and taken on an easy ride. My family automatically was drawn to it because it has a lab and we are a lab family!

Basically: Jen & Owen are newlyweds who move to Florida, get an adorable lab puppy whom they name Marley, and later dub him world’s worst dog. However, Marley goes through so much with them, even saving them from a nuclear spill the birth of three children! yes, 3. Kids…gotta love them.

In any case, I will say there were cheesy moments but hilarious moments and even Eric Dane (Grey’s Anatomy’s Womanizing Dr. Mark Sloan) plays Wilson’s best college buddy (not really widening his acting range, he plays true to his womanizing role, but it’s still fun to see him out of the operating room).

In any case, I’d give the movie 4 of 5 stars because it made me pee my pants cry. And let me say…a movie, has never made me cry. Not one time in my life has a movie made a tear roll down my face (not even Boy in the Striped Pajamas) but Marley and Me took my cry virginity.

So there you have it. Marley and Me. I wouldn’t take my 5 yr old bc there is some language and sexual moments but it’s a true call to family life and pet love.
