(Spoilers)
His wife, played by Jennifer Aniston, gets a surprise one day when Owen decides to buy her a dog so they can see what it's like to have responsibility and take care of something. Essentially, baby prep. So they buy a lab and name it Marley. Trouble ensues with the dog tearing up everything in the house, I would of killed the dog by now. Finally Jennifer has a baby and things get stressful. Marley almost gets evicted but the family comes together and live their lives. I wont give too much away, but lets just say that buy the end of the movie there was not a dry eye in the theater, including mine. Yep, it's that touching but not in the Michael Jackson eeeheee way.
The movie is not a bad way to start the new year but nothing Oscar worthy. Owen Wilson is looking old, and I can't look at him in the same way since he tried to commit suicide. Jennifer Aniston looks good and nips out though most of the movie but Kathleen Turner looks terrible. She plays a dog trainer and she is almost unrecognizable. Let's just say she needs a diet. Anyway, enough of the Hollywood gossip. I give this film 3.5 stars out of 5. If you love dogs and have a lab, this one is for you. Hea.
