I watched this movie few weeks ago. I didn’t expect the movie going to be that good since its about a dog name Marley. Usually I only animal movies at home but there Owen Wilson in it I might give it a shot at it in cinema plus I haven’t got any choice I been overruled by them.

Here the trailer

At first glance I would think its about the dog with specify character played by Owen, can’t remember the name but it turns out to be with everybody which to me personally defeat the purpose of “me” in the title. Like any Hollywood movie you will get the best animal acting you can find in the world up to the end which I am sure will make most people cry but sadly does not include me since I am heartless at that time thanks to Starbucks Coffee Mocha shots that I have before the movie.

From the beginning it looks up it might turn out like I imagine but turn south as soon it start to involve Marley with the family instead just the main actor. To make it worst they sort of speed up the bonding process with Marley trying to get to the end faster than they supposed too. Now its hard to make me cry on some dog or to make me cry for some reason but it just cheap method making the audience crying by focusing on the dog dying moment which by the way I pretty sure looks like the dog was crying. Now any pet loving or sensitive person will begin to cry about that time, but for me the movie fail to get the people like me who is almost heartless to get the “feel” needed to make me get the sense of losing a pet and cry for that matter.

I have no idea why Owen go to such movie. Watching his past movies he never act as serious character or caring character maybe he was trying some acting variety? And Jenifer also sucks, come to think of it both character can’t act like sad people losing it their family pet.

Come to think of it, Marley and Me was the first movie for me in 2009 and its in the tanked list of the year. 2 out of 5 but 10/5 for the dog! Marley!
