Marley & Me is a movie based on a book written by John Grogan, which is also the name of the leading male actor in the movie. It was directed by David Frankel and the screenplay by Scott Frank and Don Roos. The movie is starred by two famous actors Owen Wilson (John Grogan) and Jennifer Aniston (Jenny Grogan) who, in the beginning of the movie, got married.

At the beginning of their joint life they follow the plan that Jenny wrote, which leads to moving to a warmer place and getting a house. John starts to work as a reporter but eventually becomes a very good columnist. In the fear of moving to the next step of Jenny’s plan, John decides to get her a puppy, a Labrador retriever, so that she wouldn’t think about having a child yet. They named the puppy Marley, who happened to be a total disaster, it eats the floor, chews the walls, drinks from the toilet, stays up all night howling when it’s a thunderstorm, gets kicked out of a behavior school meant for dogs etc. John’s boss wanted him to write a couple of columns and he couldn’t think of anything to write about but Marley. His columns were very liked, which lead to him being a columnist and he would almost in every column mention Marley. Despite Marley being a chaotic dog, it had a big heart and it loved Grogans very much. They had three children which made few years of their life very hectic but they managed to go through it even with Marley being part of their everyday life.

Jenny acts sometimes a bit selfishly when she herself doesn’t feel good and says and does what she wants, but when she realizes that she has done wrong, she honestly apologizes. John is sarcastic but very funny guy. He is also very honest and nice person.

The movie’s genre is both drama and comedy. I think that the most of it is comedy though it has a very dramatic ending. In my opinion, the movie is definitely worth of watching. I have watched it at least five times and I’m still not fed up with it, it always makes me laugh and in the end I cry my eyes out.
