Product Description: A FAMILY LEARNS IMPORTANT LIFE LESSONS FROM THEIR ADORABLE, BUT NAUGHTY AND NEUROTIC DOG.
Amazon.com: 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

It is a dog's life
The story follows newlyweds that purchase a discount dog and how it helps or hinders them through their lives.
I am sure the book it is based on is good but sitting through this movie was a waste of time. The few doggie antics were cute and of course, there were the tearjerker moments. Alan Arkin as Editor Arnie Klein did some find acting and held much of the story together. Jennifer Aniston, 40 at the time of the film is starting to look her age.
