Plot: John and Jenny Grogan (Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston) decide to adopt a puppy to see if they're ready to raise a family. They adopt a puppy they name Marley, who proves himself to be quite the handful. But Marley also proves himself to be a loyal and loving member of their family, through the laughs and hardships that they face with their growing family.
Review: This is an adaptation of John Grogan's autobiography. And I like it. It's a great watch.
Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston have great chemistry that holds the film together. If they didn't have the chemistry, the film would've fallen flat. When they cry, you believe it. When they laugh, you want to laugh with them. The rest of the cast was pretty good too. There are a handful of supporting characters, including Sebastian Tunney, a friend of John's (played by Eric Dane) and Arnie Klein (Alan Arkin), John's editor, provide nice comedic moments.
What I love about the plot is that it works great as a comedy-drama. We have the comedic moments where Marley is being a complete handful and being mischievous. We also have nice comedic moments between other characters. We also have the dramatic moments like the loses that John and Jenny endure in the film.
This is a good watch for the family. It's a film that will make you laugh and will make you cry. It will make you laugh and cry because it's relatable to the audience.
Rating: 4/5
