Marley and Me is not an amazing movie by all means, the script does have uneven and sometimes jarring changes of tone from silly to serious to genuinely affecting, the story right down from the antics up to the ending is rather predictable on the surface and there are some parts that drag. But, most of the antics are quite funny on the other hand and the ending is poignant in a genuine sense. The whole film looks beautiful and the soundtrack is divine. The film is decently directed, and the acting from the leads Owen Wilson and Jennifer Anniston is appealing, and Eric Dane and Kathleen Turner provide excellent support. The dog steals the show though being incredibly endearing, the dog isn't just part of the film, the dog in many more ways than one IS the film. Overall, appealing film and quite touching. 7/10 Bethany Cox
