MARLEY & ME COMPETITION

March 6, 2009

IN CINEMAS MARCH 11

Starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson

SYNOPSIS

As the snow falls on their wedding night, newlyweds John and Jenny Grogan (OWEN WILSON and JENNIFER ANISTON) decide to leave behind the harsh winters of Michigan and head south to begin their new lives in West Palm Beach, Florida. They obtain jobs as journalists at competing local newspapers, buy their first home, and begin to make their way through the challenges of a new marriage, new careers and, possibly, the life-changing decision to start a family.

Unsure of his preparedness for raising children, John confesses his fears to his friend and fellow journalist Sebastian, who comes up with the perfect solution: John should get Jenny a puppy. “There’s nothing to it,” says Sebastian. “You walk ‘em. You feed ‘em, you let ‘em out now and then.”

Then came Marley.

The Grogans adopt the cute, twelve pound yellow Labrador, who in no time at all, grows into a 100-pound steamroller of unbridled energy that turns the Grogan home into a disaster area. He flunks obedience school, chews off dry-wall, takes a bite out of the sofa, overturns garbage cans, steals a Thanksgiving turkey, consumes pillows and flowers, drinks toilet water, and chases the UPS guy. Even a newly-purchased, expensive necklace isn’t safe from Marley’s voracious antics.

Amidst the mayhem he generates through the years, Marley sees the Grogans through the ups and downs of family life, through job and home changes, and most of all, through the myriad challenges of a growing family. As John and Jenny come to realize, Marley – “the world’s worst dog” – somehow brings out the best in them.

I used to have a dog called Marley. It looked a bit like the dog in this film. I also used to have a girlfriend. She looked nothing like Jennifer Aniston though. Sigh!

MunchKim on March 7th, 2009 9:50 am

I just know I’m going to spend the whole film sighing over how cute they both are………………………………..Owen Wilson and a Labrador (especially when it’s still a puppy) in a film, it’s gotta be a hit!

columbine75 on March 20th, 2009 4:45 pm

I bought my dad this book ages ago and never got to read it, I’m looking forward to seeing the film – apparently the book is enough to put you off wanting a dog!
slatchamybabe on March 28th, 2009 9:40 pm

this is my girlfriend’s account which I’m using because I heard about this competition from one of her friends. she would absolutely love to watch this film because her greatest love, i believe is animals and this film would make her so happy – not to mention one of her favourite actresses being involved. i would be so grateful if you could allow her to win this competition because she truly deserves it after all she’s been up to at the minute – and to be honest, she really needs to go out and have fun for once. Thankyou so much.

Got something to say?
