Editorial Review:
As the snow falls on their wedding night, newlyweds John and Jenny Grogan (OWEN WILSON and JENNIFER ANISTON) decide to leave behind the harsh winters of Michigan and head south to begin their new lives in West Palm Beach, Florida. They obtain jobs as journalists at competing local newspapers, buy their first home, and begin to make their way through the challenges of a new marriage, new careers and, possibly, the life-changing decision to start a family. Unsure of his preparedness for raising children, John confesses his fears to his friend and fellow journalist Sebastian, who comes up with the perfect solution: John should get Jenny a puppy. "There's nothing to it," says Sebastian. "You walk 'em. You feed 'em, you let 'em out now and then." Then came Marley. The Grogans adopt the cute, twelve pound yellow Labrador, who in no time at all, grows into a 100-pound steamroller of unbridled energy that turns the Grogan home into a disaster area. He flunks obedience school, chews off dry-wall, takes a bite out of the sofa, overturns garbage cans, steals a Thanksgiving turkey, consumes pillows and flowers, drinks toilet water, and chases the UPS guy. Even a newly-purchased, expensive necklace isn't safe from Marley's voracious antics. Amidst the mayhem he generates through the years, Marley sees the Grogans through the ups and downs of family life, through job and home changes, and most of all, through the myriad challenges of a growing family. As John and Jenny come to realize, Marley - "the world's worst dog" - somehow brings out the best in them.
Description of Marley & Me (Three-Disc Bad Dog Edition) [Blu-ray]:
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. Their chemistry is utterly natural and believable as Marley's owners, as is their interaction with the very naughty but ultimately irresistible Marley. As Marley grows up, the film follows his escapades--flunking out, spectacularly, from puppy training at the hands of a wickedly funny Kathleen Turner. And as Marley grows up, John and Jenny build their life together and weather some tough emotional blows. Like My Dog Skip, which it resembles in its affection for its subject, Marley & Me is a tear-jerker, but in the sweetest, most lovely way--because it, and its four-legged star, have wriggled into our hearts. Good boy. --A.T. Hurley

Best movie of all time! 
2009-11-09 - I LOVE Marley and Me, it is one of my favorites. I recommend it 100%!!!
best movie ever!!! 
2009-11-08 - This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Be sure that you have a box of tissues with you when you watch, but it is really great. A wonderful family movie, and a must see if you have ever loved a dog.
Great Movie 
2009-11-04 - My family loves this movie, our lab is so much like Marley, it is not even funny.
My dog loves when I watch this movie 
2009-11-01 - My seven year old border collie LOVES when I watch this movie. Three times now I've seen it and Murphy gets every treat I can lay my hands on as the movie progresses. Anyone who has a dog that is more than a dog knows what I mean. As Marley ages and gets more infirm it just breaks your heart. This movie is spot on for anyone who has ever loved a pet like a member of the family. Not for young children but a great tribute to the relationship of man(woman) and dog. Gotta go - Murphy needs another Milk Bone.
Perfect Family Film 
2009-11-01 - This movie is heart warming, funny and nice. This movie tells/shows how one crazy dog effects a family. The dog was part of the family for a while but ends sadly. :( Still a great movie
