REVIEW: MARLEY AND ME
03/30/09
OVERVIEW: From the
director of the Devil Wears Prada and based on the New York
Times best-selling novel from John Grogan, Marley & Me leaps
onto three-disc Blu-ray, two-disc Special Edition and Single
Disc DVD March 31 from Twentieth Century Fox Home
Entertainment. Featuring an incredible A-list cast,
Oscar®-nominee* Owen Wilson (Night at the Museum) and Emmy®
winner** Jennifer Aniston (The Break-Up) star in a hilarious
tail about a family who learns important life lessons from
their adorable, but naughty and neurotic dog. When newlyweds
John and Jenny Grogan (Wilson and Aniston) leave the snow of
Michigan for the beaches of Miami, they decide to adopt a
yellow Labrador retriever named Marley, in order to give
them a taste of parenthood. However, things get ruff when
the adorable 12-pound puppy transforms into a highly-strung,
boisterous and uncontrollable 100-pound steamroller of
unbridled energy that always finds trouble. From flunking
obedience school, chewing off dry wall, taking a bite out of
the sofa, stealing a Thanksgiving turkey and chasing the UPS
guy, Marley causes absolute chaos. Despite the mayhem he
generates over the years, Marley sees the Grogans through
the ups and downs of life and the countless challenges that
come with it. The family soon discovers that Marley, “the
world’s worst dog,” somehow brings out the best in them.
SYNOPSIS: Packed with playful special features,
including tons of deleted scenes and irresistible
featurettes, Marley & Me is a satisfying treat for the whole
family! Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson unleash huge laughs
as John and Jenny Grogan, a young couple contemplating the
decision to have a baby. Then came Marley...an adorable
Labrador pup who flunks obedience school and quickly turns
his new home into a disaster area. But as mischievous Marley
sees the Grogans through the ups and downs of life and love,
they ultimately realize that “the world’s worst dog” truly
brings out the best in them.
