I’m thinking of featuring my top movie pick of the week, mostly movies I have watched and enjoyed in one way or the other. I liked this film because as a dog owner, I can empathize with this film. I have also had a dog who got serious ill the same way Marley did so it touched a nerve. There are very funny moments in this film such as Marley eating the new jewellery and John having to wash the poop to try and find it, and there are very sad moments, like where Jenny demands he leaves the house.

I’m not a movie reviewer so I’m going to leave you with the Amazon Review.

Marley and Me – DVD

When a dog wriggles his adorable rear end into a human’s life, the human will never be the same. And both Marley, the dog, and Marley & Me, the movie, manage to endear themselves deeply despite a few wee flaws.

Readers of the John Grogan bestseller already know the raffish charm of the incorrigible yellow lab puppy, Marley, adopted by Grogan and his wife because she’s “never seen anything more adorable in my life.” But Grogan’s simple tale of love, in all its forms, shines on the big screen, thanks to deft comic turns by Jennifer Aniston–in top form here–and Owen Wilson.

And as Marley grows up, John and Jenny build their life together and weather some to (read more here…)

I just watched the film of this, and it was so good, and very sad at the end, the Dangmeister touched his feminine site, but he’d totally rather feel a half naked chick’s while watching this. I didn’t know it was also a book, not sure which came first the film or the book, but I’m going to order the book

Chicks are always telling me the books are always way better than the film, so since mama dang liked this film when I got the DVD (she watched it before me), I figured if the book bores the sh#t out of me, I can always send it to her.

Marley and Me
Life and Love with The Worlds Worst Dog

‘A book with intense appeal . . . tenderly follows its subject from sunrise to sunset, from the ball-of-fluff stage to the heartbreaking farewell.’  (New York Times )
‘The reason Marley & Me has proved to be a bestseller is that it is not just a funny dog story . . . It’s a universal story of family life and a publishing sensation’ (The Times )
‘Made me laugh so much I pulled a muscle in my solar plexus’ (Daily Mail )
‘This is a wonderful, moving book that even non-dog-lovers cannot fail to enjoy.’ (Mail on Sunday )

Now a major motion picture starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson – the heart-warming and unforgettable story of a family and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life. John and Jenny were young and deeply in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wriggly yellow furball of a puppy and life would never be the same. ‘This is a wonderful, moving book that even no (read more here…)
