Marley & Me Review

Overall Rating

This film had a strange effect on me...it made me, a grown man cry. The last time i remember really blubbing to a film was watership down when I was 7 (god only knows why my parents took me to see it as it was very disturbing).

I haven't read the book but I do know of people who have read marley & me. From what I understand, the books a bit of an emotional roller coaster too.

The film is reasonably well acted, although jennifer anistons facial expressions are a little frozen. There are some great comic moments - especially the bit when marley leaps out of the car window when its moving!

All in all its a good film if not a little mushy in places. If you want to release some pent up emotion just wait until the end. oh, and make sure you have a box of tissues ready.
