Call it a pet project: a movie of the book of the newspaper column about the journalist’s difficult dog. The book was a best-seller in mutt-crazy USA and the movie features Owen Wilson... read more »

Dog....
My excuse for having seen this film last night would be that I got free tickets. But in truth, I was kind of looking forward to it. I love the talent - Wilson, Annistion, Arkin and Kathleen Turner.
But what I saw was a banal, dramaless, confusing, over-long, over-sentimental waste of film stock which begs the question - how did this script ever get made!?
The bad-dog andrex advert montages wear thin almost immediately even for any dog lovers watching. And without those montages there isn't reallly a film or story. Wilson's character sort of, kind of, half moans about being half contented with his (idyllic) life. The film consistently hits the wrong tone and doesn't know whether it wants to be a family drama or a no-brained comedy. My suggestion to potential viewers would be to make sure brain and familly stay far away from this film.
There are a few moments of brief redemption brought about by the reliable delivery of the afore-mentioned stars. But why in the name of Lassie are they wasting their talent on this big pile of doo-doo???

Marley and Me: Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson interview
- 11 Mar 2009
Based on the bestselling autobiographical novel by the American journalist John Grogan, Marley and Me tells the story of the 15 years when his family was terrorised by the world’s worst dog, Marley. We caught up Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston, who star as Grogan and his wife Jennifer in the film, and asked them if the old adage about never working with children and animals is true, and whether they are animal lovers in real life. LOVEFiLM: So, working with children and animals…... Read more
