Marley & Me

marleymeWhether or not you had a dog growing up, you will enjoy this film.

John Grogan (Wilson) is a newspaper columnist who takes the advise of a friend (Dane) and buys his wife a dog to distract her from those ‘baby urges’.

The Labrador certainly steals the show – it really is something  quite adorable.  Whilst amused by the puppies antics we discover John and Jenny and watch them grow as a family.  It’s really a wonderful, humorous film.  I’m heard reviews say that Owen Wilson just plods along in this flick, but I disagree, he captures the essence of the character and I thought this watch was better than the trailer eludes too.

Enjoy!
