Plot Summary
Marley is a yellow lab adopted by John Grogan (Owen Wilson), a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, and his wife (Jennifer Aniston). Their idea was to give them a taste of parenthood, but the dog proved to be a hyperactive handful. He wreaks havoc, gets kicked out of obedience school and gets even worse when the children begin to arrive, yet becomes an indispensable part of the family. An adaptation of John Grogan's bestselling memoir about an incorrigible Labrador retriever.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The movie is ultimately less about the pain of loss than about the way families often take shape around a pet.
Rotten: Not every book has a movie lurking in it.
Fresh: David Frankel adapts John Grogan's sentimental bestseller with no artistic pretensions beyond alternately making you feel like your heart is caving in, then injecting you with a gigantic syringe of good cheer.
Fresh: The dog -- or the many dogs who play Marley through the years -- also delivers some of the funniest scenes.
Customer Reviews
Marley a me a cute movie:
This was an adorable movie. Yes, it was sad at the end but it was so heart warming throughout the whole movie. But please, do not let the PG rating and cute puppy face trick you! There was many curse words, 3 sex scenes, and the ending might not be bearable for young children. This movie was overall a great family movie but a few cautions to look out for!
PG??????
Great film but really.... it should have been PG-13 for all the cursing and inappropriate stuff for kids. I went to the movie opening night, (on my birthday), and there were KIDS everywhere! When they swearing kept going on i saw some parents in the theater leave with their kids! It's a good move though!
it's PG-13!!!!!!
it should not be rated PG so beware! but other wise it's a pretty good movie.
