Reviews for Marley & Me
Even dog skeptics might be surprised how deftly Marley & Me adapts newspaper columnist John Grogan's book...into the equivalent of a kid's movie for adults. [Blu-ray]

...the strength of the finale effectively elevates everything that preceded it...

Marley & Me is a film of moments and many of them are cute. For anyone who has ever had a dog or a close pet, there's bound to be some connection.
04/10/09
The conclusion transforms at least this part of the film from sappy romance to beautifully authentic meditation on life, death and a family's love for its long-time loyal dog.

Directed with admirable sensitivity and spot-on populist instincts...
03/20/09
It is a very positive film, so it won't appeal to cynics, but it should appeal to just about everyone else.
03/15/09
The idea that this screen dog is so cute and lovable that everything ripped, chewed, swallowed or destroyed can merely be replaced and ignored is more out of a Stephen King reality than the world as we know it.
03/15/09
In the cinema, all of us tough, cynical critics had tears welling in our eyes, swallowing hard; our lips, so often curled in a cheap sneer, were now trembling, because of the same desperately sad thought: "Owen Wilson used to be really good..."
03/13/09
There is something wildly odd about a film that measures human happiness with the whims of a dog.
03/13/09
There's much more to this than just the cute dog.
03/13/09
Evidently contrived and something of an ungainly hybrid, the film shares its canine protagonist’s facility for wearing down your resistance.
03/13/09
My Dog Skip for people in mid-life crises, it’s too talky and trouble-laden for tykes but will doubtless prove as critic-proof to dog-lovers and the stars’ fans as it did in the US.
03/13/09
Belly laughs are few, a sharp script keeps you on your toes. However, Kathleen Turner as a Barbara Woodhouse-style dog trainer, leg-humped by Marley, is a sight you have to see.

Somehow, I fell in the end for this dog-gone sweet little movie.

Un pasatiempo divertido y sensible al mismo tiempo, liviano y nada pretencioso. Quien busque una comedia sólo para reír, que busque otra cosa; aquí también encontrará lágrimas.
02/24/09
By the time Marley & Me ends, dog owners, especially, will be quite moved while everyone else will feel inspired to adopt a dog like Marley as part of their own family.
