I remember reading about this movie and my first thoughts where that this would be boring. However my mom asked me to download it for her and I ended up watching it with her. Now I am glad I did, because it was a really sweet movie. The movie is based on a book by John Grogan and is a true story about his life with his dog Marley. Owen Wilson does a great job portraying Grogan and the rest of the cast is great as well.
The movie is both funny and heartwarming, but it also has it's sad parts. The dog steals the show being naughty yet kind. The story itself is pretty straightforward. We follow the family from when they get Marley until he dies of old age. The quality of the movie is what you expect. Directing and screenplay is good with no mayor flaws that I could find.
The only thing I think they could have changed is that there is no real plot twists. This can for some people make the movie a little predictable at times and maybe even boring. However if you like animals and especially dogs you will not notice this. This is also because it is based on a book and as far as I understood it does a good job of following the story of the book. All in all a fun and family friendly movie. If will make you smile and maybe even cry but don't expect it to stick in your brain as a masterpiece. 7/10
