Marley and Me

Really wasn't expecting to like this film but Mrs DL really wanted to watch it and I had alcohol so thought what the hey. I'm really not a Jennifer Aniston fan and the only film I have liked with her in was Office Space which I thought was great despite her. Imagine my surprise when I found myself enjoying the film and not hating Aniston.

Basically the film is about a journalist and his wife going through their 30s and how their badly behaved dog Marley has an impact. I suspect that the reason I enjoyed the film was purely down to the dog (a Lab, I love Labs) though there were a couple of LOL moments. On the down side parts of the film felt very disjointed and there were a couple of scenes that felt like filler and would have been better off on the cutting room floor.

If you're a dog person then you will like this film. If you are not a dog person then you will probably not like it as much but it may help you understand why people love dogs so much.

7/10
