Movie: Marley and Me


Synopsis: Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston go to the dogs with Marley & Me, a tale of a couple embarking on the adventure of marriage, career, family, and the world's worst dog. At least that's how writer and newlywed John comes to describe his blonde lab Marley, when he takes the puppy home and finds the fluff ball has an uncanny ability to eat and/or destroy just about anything. As years go by, John and his wife Jennifer contemplate having babies and moving across the country, while Marley grows into 100 lbs. of funny, wild, completely untrainable canine companionship -- as well as one of the most important people in the family. Marley & Me is based on the best selling autobiographical book by columnist John Grogan.


I've always wanted a dog. During the long break, I was back in CDO busy playing with our cute dogs. Too bad I can't have one here in Manila since nobody would take care of him during the day. And just like the movie, my sister told me yesterday that one of our dogs died *sniff*.

Marley and Me made me realize that dogs love you for who you are. They don't care if you have the latest car or what have you. They just need your attention and care. Marley was a walking disaster. Actually, if I did have a dog like him, I would have gone crazy sooner or later.

The movie was not all about Marley but also about the struggle of the Grogans raising a family. It was a heartwarming story. Well, it didn't change my decision on having kids since they drive me insane -- not in a good way. Hehe. I was never a kid-person.

Yuh, the movie was a tear-jerker. I was trying to hide my tears coz I watched it in the office. Haha! If you wanna laugh and cry in one move, Marley and Me is a treat for you.
