Marley & Me
True companionship is rarely experienced. The bond between a man and a dog is built on unconditional love. Which is good for a free-spirited dog like Marley. Holding to his namesake of artist Bob Marley this hound has a love knows no bounds. Life is a struggle with ourselves, accepting our own mortality. This film shows that family extends beyond humans and embraces all life.
John Grogan (Owen Wilson) is unsure what he wants out of life, but he knows what he has is good. After marrying Jenny (Jennifer Aniston) he hope to stall her "biological clock" by buying her a Labrador. In his mind it's better to be a 'master' than a 'father'. But he soon realizes that life doesn't stop and puppy's become dogs.
Adapted from the autobiography of journalist John Grogan the film find nuzzles it way into your heart. Life never turns out the way we plan. But as Jenny says, "I've given up so much of what made me who I am." But, it's a matter of accepting the choices that make-up our life. Love is able accept the good and the bad. That's why Marley and Me makes for a classic family film. It shows that life is simply the day in/day out and that time is relative.
