Newlyweds John and Jenny Grogan (Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston) leave behind snowy Michigan and move to Florida, where they buy their first home and find jobs at competing newspapers. Soon afterward, the Grogans adopt Marley, an adorable yellow Labrador pup. But Marley soon grows up to be a mischievous handful. Still, even while he's destroying the furniture and failing obedience school, he always manages to bring out the best in John, Jenny and their growing family.

"Marley & Me," the story of an unruly, 100-pound yellow Labrador retriever and the people who love him, offers far more than scenes of a dog running amok.
Don't panic: There are still plenty of funny shots of the pup gnawing furniture or trying to escape a moving car. But beyond the high jinks lies a moving, realistic story of a couple (Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston) trying to balance work and children along with that big dog.
As such, this PG-rated film, based on the memoir by former Philadelphia Inquirer reporter John Grogan, might test the patience of younger kids. And the picture's mature themes might also inspire some questions for parents. (Full review)
