Marley & me



Besides knowing it was an international best-seller, I knew nothing about Marley & Me. We went to watch it because well, there was no more tickets for "He's Just Not That Into You".

Marley & Me was surprisingly good. Not to mention Owen Wilson did a really great job as John Grogan. As his life unfold with wife, Jennifer Grogan, the pains of compromising dreams with the reality of life, relocating for a better-paid job, the pains of taking up parental duties of 3 children - it was very touching to see the Grogan family tolerated, grew on and eventually love the world's worst dog - Marley.

The last part made me cry - in fact the whole cinema did. There were sniffles going around the cinema and somehow it touched me immensely that people are really moved by the love of this dog for his family and vice versa. Don't get me wrong, it's not a film made to just made you cry - in fact the cinema was either laughing or crying. The chemistry of the cast was truly awesome.

I love the closing part by Owen Wilson:

"Just give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? Not too many, no doubt. How many people can make you feel that special? Again, probably not too many."

Really sweet.

I give it ♥♥♥♥.5/5. =)
