Marley & Me (2008)
7/10
The Clearance Puppy
25 April 2009
The journalists John (Owen Wilson) and Jennifer Grogan (Jennifer Aniston) get married in the cold Michigan and immediately move to the sunny Florida. John, that aims to be a reporter, is reluctantly hired by a local newspaper to write a column. Meanwhile, John buys a Labrador "clearance puppy" for Jennifer to avoid (or postpone) having children. His newspaper column becomes successful with his articles based on his daily life experience with the clumsy and impulsive Marley. The Grogan's have three children, move to Philadelphia sharing their best and worst moments in family with their beloved dog until the day the inevitable happens.

"Marley & Me" is really a great family entertainment. First, whoever has ever had a dog, certainly knows the pain of the loss. Then the story based on a true event is absolutely believable, with great dialogs and realistic characters. The chemistry between the lovely Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson is amazing. Last but not the least, the dogs are hilarious. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Marley & Eu" ("Marley & Me")
