If you are planning to tie the knot sooner or later, or if you are newly wed, a pet dog could come in handy. That’s what we get to know from the makers of Marley & Me.Directed by David Frankel (of The Devil Wears Prada fame) and based on the hit memoir of John Grogan, this film has journalists John (Owen Wilson) and Jen (Jennifer Aniston) as a newly wedded couple trying their best to start a family.
But it is not until they bring home Marley, the labrador, for their pet, that they pick up lessons on how to drive around the various turns in their married life.
Marley is as stupid as possible but the cute puppy’s antics come to signify the unexpected challenges that humans face as adults.
The film moves back and forth between Marley and its owners, but the unconditional love theme remains intact without faltering. There is endless fun in Marley who will eat anything, pee anywhere it wants, hits glass doors, jumps over the neighbour’s wall, runs away from home... it’s an endless joy watching. Marley steals the limelight as much as Wilson and Aniston. As far as the script is concerned this is one comedy flick perfect for Wilson. He carries the funny lines naturally without much efforts. Aniston too proves to be a lovable co-star.
Comical, laugh-out-loud presentation and provoking, Marley & Me as a comedy focusses on the challenges of building a family and the role of dog as man’s most faithful friend. An all out family entertainer
