Marley And Me

John Grogan (Owen Wilson), a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, moves to Miami with his wife Jenny (Jennifer Aniston) for a newspaper job. The couple adopts Marley, a yellow labrador retriever, in order to give themselves a taste of parenthood, but the dog proves to be a hyperactive handful. He wreaks havoc on the household, gets expelled from obedience school, and becomes even more rambunctious when the children begin to arrive. Ultimately though, Marley grows on them and becomes an indispensable part of the family.
Reviews:

"It's an enjoyable and unpretentious perspective of life that reminds us how important and rewarding the little things can be"- ReelViews

"When Marley is not on the screen, Wilson and Aniston demonstrate why they are gifted comic actors. They have a relationship that's not too sitcomish, not too sentimental, mostly smart and realistic"- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"Sweet and wise and often laugh-out-loud funny (just like Grogan's book), Marley & Me isn't just for dog people; it's just not for Cruella De Vil"- Austin Chronicle
