Marley and Me - Blu-ray DVD

Let's face it, there are times when a movie studio can mess up a perfectly fine book. Who hasn't left a theater grumbling about what Hollywood has done to one of their favorite reads? That's certainly not the case with Marley & Me - it's a wonderful book and as directed by David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada), it's a wonderful movie.

The casting could not have been better. Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston are perfect as John & Jenny Grogan, a young couple, both newspaper writers, who have begun life together. What they hadn't planned for was Marley or more appropriately Marley's behavior.

As much of the world now knows Marley truly was John Grogan's dog and the subject of his mega selling 2005 memoir. Marley cannot ever be confused with Lassie. Minding was not in this canine's vocabulary while he certainly understood consuming uneatable objects, pawing strangers, and swiping a Thanksgiving turkey. What Marley does have is a huge heart and boundless love.

Marley & Me" is so much more than a movie about a lovable canine, it's the story of a family - how they grew together, their celebrations and their griefs. It's also a tale sure to provoke both laughter and tears. So, bring a box of tissue for the closing scenes.

Jennifer Aniston is pretty as ever in a not too demanding role; although you've seen him do it before Alan Arkin does grumpiness well as a newspaper editor. The prize goes to Owen Wilson who gives an extremely affecting performance.

Dogs are not just pets, but are also family members. If you let them into your heart, they'll let you into theirs. Granted not all of our canine companions are obedient, I'm sure all of you have a "bad dog" story, but you still love them unconditionally. And not all of our dogs can match the story of "Marley & Me," the bestselling book by John Grogan ripped from the pages to the big screen.

The story is not just about the world's worst dog. It's about life's long journey and what it's like at the pinnacle. We see the evolution of a newlywed couple's, John and Jenny Grogan (Owen Wilson and Jennifer Anniston), journey through life, from marriage to getting a puppy, to kids and then more kids, and new jobs and moving. As expected, John and Jenny's journey is a rather emotional one, so just some advice you may want to keep a pack of the travel size Kleenex handy.

While the story and acting were nothing short of superb, many of the scene stealers belong to the pooches playing Marley. We get montages of John's everyday life with splices of the "world's worst dog" doing his worst; running away while being tied to a table, chewing baby furniture, torturing the dog sitter etc, etc. The chemistry between Wilson and Anniston was great. They were really emotionally into their roles and it bled through in their acting.

World's worst dog has never looked so good. "Marley & Me" is an excellent movie for dog lovers as well as those who were die hard fans of the book, which you don't need to have read to enjoy the film. So do yourself a favor, much like your adored canine companion, let this movie into your heart.

Marley & Me - Dog Story - John Grogan

Labrador Retriever Dog - Marley and Me by John Grogan

The No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller about everyone's favourite dog: Marley and Me - John Grogan - Audio Book

John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they bought home Marley, a wiggly yellow fur ball of a puppy. Life would never be the same.

Marley quickly grew into a barrelling, ninety-seven pound steamroller of a Labrador retriever, a dog like no other. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, flung drool on guests, stole women's undergarments, and ate nearly everything he could get his mouth around, including couches and fine jewellery. Obedience school did no good - Marley was expelled.

And yet Marley's heart was pure. Just as he joyfully refused any limits on his behaviour, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley shared the couple's joy at their first pregnancy, and their heartbreak over the miscarriage. He was there when babies finally arrived and when the screams of a seventeen-year-old stabbing victim pierced the night.

The heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family in the making and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life.
