I am a big fan of animals, especially dogs, so I was very excited about watching " Marley & Me" which is based on John Grogan's book and directed by David Frankel. Grogan tells a story about his and his wife's life after adopting little Labrador Retriever doggy called Marley.
The plot centers on Marley's bad behaviour. He acts insane. He can eat literally everything - from the whole bag of dog food to documents and necklaces. Marley also destroys everything. It is because he is too energetic and wants to have fun all the time.
The acting is first-rate. Owen Wilson as John Grogan and Jennifer Aniston as John Grogan's wife, Jenny Grogan, are fabolous. They show their feelings and emotions in a great way. There are no special effects, but there is no need for them to be, and the soundtrack is just superb. It gives the feeling of being right there with the actors.
It is not surprising that I liked this adaptation. In spite of my feelings for this movie, there is the reason why I also hate it - there are moments which makes me cry. On the other hand I love the way it makes me laugh. I can wholeheartedly recommend it to everybody. It is a film for those who like to laugh and are not ashamed to cry
And here you can see my doggy Kora. She's got the same character as Marley but now she is a little bit lazier than she used to be.
