This movie made me laugh and it made me cry at times. I absolutely loved this movie, but the end just depressed me. It stars Owen Wilson (Drillbit Taylor) and Jennifer Aniston (Love Happens) as a married couple that happen to be journalists as well. With some advice from a friend and colleague Sebastian (Eric Dane), to avoid the topic of kids, John (Wilson) buys Jennifer (Aniston) a puppy they eventually name Marley. Marley is one of the toughest dogs in the world, but no matter what he does that's bad, they love him unconditionally. So, John has always wanted to be a reporter, but finds himself being a columnist and with some inspiration from Marley becomes a hit in Florida. They eventually start their family and life moves John & Co. to Philly where he finally gets his reporter job and then the sadness starts from there as they notice drastic changes in Marley's behavior. One of my favorite scenes in the whole film is when John and Jen go on vacation to Ireland and leave Marley with the house sitter and Marley drives the poor girl absolutely nuts. The astonishing to me is that they use three different dogs to play Marley in the different stages of his life. The movie also stars Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine) as John's boss, Kathleen Turner (The Virgin Suicides) as Ms. Kornblut the dog trainer, and Haley Bennett (The Haunting Of Molly Hartley) as Lisa. I recommend this movie to anyone that wants a great story of love, but if you want total fun from beginning to end, then rent another one. I give the movie an A.
