Marley & Me - On Blue-Ray & DVD

Marley And Me (3-disc Bad Dog Edition) [Blu-ray]

‘Marley & Me‘ is a great adaptation of the novel by Josh Grogan. It kept all the emotional elements as well as the fun. Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson had amazing chemistry together in this heartfelt film. It is more than just a dog movie, surpassing hit dog films such as ‘Beethoven,’ ‘101 Dalmations,’ and ‘Homeward Bound.’ This film concentrates on the family and how a dog affected the lives of this family for both good and bad. It’s a good representation of a young couple and how they evolve as they have children and move on in life. Along with it, is shows the life cycle of a dog, which is something that rarely gets shown honestly in films. It shows the good, the bad, and the painfully tragic elements of having a dog. The end of the film is very true to the book and I’m glad because it is probably the most important part of the story and it’s nice to see it portrayed honestly for fans of the book.
Overall, I think viewers will enjoy this film. Jennifer Aniston is sweet as the supportive wife and Owen Wilson shows how he’s much more than playing screwball characters and can be tender and emotional as well.
