Laughing and Tears

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2019

The movie and book are both wonderful, for anyone who has had their heart owned by a dog this movie will make you laugh and cry. My Chicago mutt Samantha was fourteen, her stomach twisted. She was a red haired beautiful dog who went with us all over the world, she loved Spain, she loved deep dish Chicago pizza. On her last day she moved her head close to me and looked at me with those beautiful eyes. Anyone who loves animals and whose animals love them back will love this movie. The training session is so funny and true, Marley was the best dog in the world.

Makes me remember my first Golden..

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

This movie is moving, funny, true, and heartfelt. I had my first Golden when I was just 5 years old. Her name was Goldie. She was a spitfire! We used to bring her camping, but EVERY time she was in a tent, she would run through it. We lost her to cancer when she turned 5. It is one of the worst years of my life.
The day she died, I came home from school, and as soon as I walked in the door, I knew something was off. My mother's eyes where swollen from tears, and when Goldie walked up to me, I knew why.
Her tail was still wagging, but her throat was about 4 sizes bigger then normal. I knew. It was the last day for her.
My mother put me in the car, but I stopped her. I told her "I did not get to say goodbye". Now, Imagine a child running from a car to say goodbye to their best friend.
I remember so clearly my last sight and smell of her. I knelt down on the kitchen floor (which is where she was laying) and I said
goodbye.
Her tail just wagged slightly and she let out a sigh.. That was the last time I saw my best friend. But I know I will see her again over the rainbow bridge. I have too. She was an angel, and was too good for here....

Amazon (or someone!) Cut out a few scenes! I’m super bombed… Even a couple of the scenes that were in the preview were not included in the Amazon version of this movie! We were super disappointed. (we watched this movie when it came out in theaters 11 years ago and based off of the actual movie I would definitely give it five stars!)

A New Kind of Family Film...

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

How many movies do we see in this modern age that (rightly) devote so much attention to such an adorable animal while making itself something to watch for the entire family? I can't think of any others right now, so on we go. Based on the memoirs of the same name, the writer John Grogan and his wife Jenny, in an attempt to prepare themselves for having kids, acquire a Labrador retriever puppy who is named Marley after singer Bob Marley. Then, as Marley grows up, hijinks ensue as the family grows and changes, all the while they all continue to bond with their furry companion. Much like the book it's based on, this film should tug at the heartstrings from beginning to end. Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston actually do make a convincing couple. They're not perfect, but absolute perfection is boring. The flaws in their "coupling" are what make them more interesting to watch, even during the more hammy moments. But, my two favorite actors in this film, besides the twenty or so pooches who played Marley in his various ages, are Eric Dane, playing John's wise-cracking best friend Sebastian, and Alan Arkin, who amusingly plays the unsmiling-yet-somehow-happy editor Arnie Klein. Many more round out the cast as the Grogans handle the trials and triumphs of life, Marley always close by. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll...experience just about every emotion known to man. This film is a 21st century family picture and should not be missed. Also, look for the Friends reunion...I won't say more. Enjoy.

Great movie for dog lovers!

Very cute movie. I just adopted a yellow lab puppy, and much of the movie had me laughing out loud, particularly Marley eating the dry wall and the obedience training scene. How true it was! It actually made me realize that my yellow lab, Isabel, wasn't the worst dog ever. I also liked the final moments of the movie, and the idea that it's nice to have another living being think you're extraordinary. Highly recommended for dog lovers, and not that sad! Marley had a good life.
......
I just watched this again with my now 13 month old Lab Isabel. This is not the greatest movie in the world, but I love it. It made me laugh and made me cry. Isabel is no longer chewing walls, but she has ripped apart the furniture and I will need to completely redecorate once she gets past the chewing stage. Nonetheless, she is the friendliest, nicest, most loving dog ever, and Marley and Me really captures the specialness that is the Labrador Retriever. They are indeed the best dog ever!

Great for any dog lover, but be prepared to shed a lot of tears at the end!

Being a dog person basically since birth and a "Lab Dad" for 16 years , I loved Mr. Grogan's wonderful memoir of his family's experiences with "The World's Worst Dog" and I also am a huge fan of this movie. It was very well done and both Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston were excellent in these roles. I even think Mr. Wilson looks like John Grogan a little bit. A wonderful family film, but if you have ever gone through the loss of a beloved pet, be sure to bring a box of Kleenex for the last 30 minutes. The ending was extremely well done and realistic. It particularily struck me how in those last few moments that the character John Grogan spends with Marley, he touches his tail, feels his paws, and buries his face in the dog's soft fur, because that is exactly what I did with my old lab before I said good-bye to her. It was incredibly true to life and very, very moving. Picture quality was exceptional with the scenes in rural Pennsylvania (my home too!) in the Fall and Winter near the end of the film beautiful to look at and sound quality, well, my dogs both turned their heads and looked at the TV when Marley is locked in the garage for his first night and is whimpering and crying, so it must be pretty good. I really like this film and am very happy to have added it to my Blu Ray collection. OH, one last note-if you watch closely in the scene with Kathleen Turner as the dog trainer you can catch a quick cameo of the real John Grogan-he is the one wearing a blue Hawaiian shirt and blue jean shorts and leather sandles.

You don't know what you're missing if you don't read the book; it is soo much better than the movie. I had never laughed so hard at any other book whereas the movie only presented a few chuckles. I promise you will see what I mean.

OK but the book is much, MUCH better

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

I read the book before seeing the film and so I was surprised that two of the key episodes in the book which are guaranteed to make you burst out laughing were omitted from the film. These were the "I think we just met Dad" episode and the nappy-sniffing theme. You'll need to read the book to understand their importance, but in missing them from the film, huge opportunities for greatly humourous scenes were lost.

In most other respects, the book is pretty faithful to the book but Marley's sheer lunacy never really leaps out of the screen. Wrecked garages are seen, and shredded furniture, but it all seems rather dull in comparison to Grogan's quality writing in his book.

But, for me, the biggest flaw in the film is the casting of Aniston and Wilson. They were just too safe and obvious a choice. Of the two, Aniston does the better job - better than I expected - especially during the parts of their lives when Jen Grogan lost the first baby and then, later on, when post natal depression took over her life.

Owen Wilson seems to sleepwalk and mumble through most of the film. His performance is almost flat at times and, as is so often the case in his films, he only seems to be Owen Wilson. He seems to be in the sort of character and casting rut that trapped (and still traps??) Hugh Grant. Never once did I see Wilson as Grogan whereas Aniston did occasionally manage to break out of her overly-familiar 'Friends' mode. But on balance you don't ever really see real people who lived a real life with a real and really eccentric dog. You see two actors mostly being themselves.

As for Marley? The various dogs who take his part do a good job and thanks to some exellent trainers, there are many funny scenes - but nothing as laugh-out-loud as happens when you read the book.

So in the end, my advice is - read the book. It's hugely better than this rather limp version and how on earth could they miss out the 'Dad' and 'nappy' scenes? The 'Dad' scene in particular, and what happened before it, is essential to understanding what on earth makes Marley into that 'worst dog in the world'.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Other books that I can recommend which feature dogs and their owners which are very well written and funny are -

Travels with Charley: In Search of America (Penguin Modern Classics)

Marley wasn't the only 'worst dog in the world' though ...

DUDLEY: THE WORST DOG IN THE WORLD.

The latter book has now been updated -

The Complete Dudley: Further Misadventures of the Worst Dog in the World

A good laugh

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 16, 2012

Marley and me is a delightfull narrated account of one man and his dog gradually morphing into one couple and their dog and finally one family and their dog. The issue of the death of the dog, the saying of their goodbyes is sentively portrayed as is the marital relationship and ups and downs of married life. Her initial struggle to become pregnant, the grief of the miscarriage is handled realistically. All in all this is an excellent film about the decisions involving careers and family life, the choice of full time parenting being usefully explored. Along with many important issues is a good dose of comedy, mainly provided by Marley (the golden labrador). I have watched this DVD three times and it still makes me laugh. The only criticism I have is the sound track - it is quite hard to pick up on the American accent, so inevitably some of the dialogue is lost on first viewing, which is a pity.
