As the snow falls on their wedding night, newlyweds John and Jenny
Grogan decide to leave behind the harsh winters of Michigan and head
south to begin their new lives in West Palm Beach, Fla. 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. The Grogans adopt
the cute, 12-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.
PRO REVIEWS:
----------------------------------------
"Easy to watch, easy to forget. (...) Marley & Me is still reasonably entertaining and perfectly suited for the whole family. (...)" (Claudia Puig: USA Today)
----------------------------------------
"A cheerful family movie (...) When Marley is not on the screen, Wilson and Aniston demonstrate why they are gifted comic actors. They have a relationship that's not too sitcomish, not too sentimental, mostly smart and realistic. (...)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)
----------------------------------------
"A sweet, occasionally sticky romp (...) an imperfect, messy and sometimes trying film that has moments of genuine sweetness and humor sprinkled in between the saccharine and the sadness." (Betsy Sharkey: Los Angeles Times)

Los recién casados John y Jenny Grogan deciden dejar atrás los duros
inviernos de Michigan para instalarse en la soleada West Palm Beach
(Florida). Los dos consiguen empleo en dos periódicos rivales, compran
su primera casa y afrontan los retos del matrimonio. Cuando John le
confiesa a su amigo y colega Sebastian que aún no se siente preparado
para ser padre, éste le sugiere que le regale a Jenny un perro. Los
Grogan adoptan un bonito cachorro de Labrador que, poco después, se
convierte en una mole de 45 kilos que transforma la casa en una
verdadera catástrofe. (FILMAFFINITY)
CRÍTICA:
"Marley & Me puede que sea fácil de ver,
pero -incluso para los amantes de los perros- también es fácil de
olvidar. (...) razonablemente entretenida y pensada perfectamente para
toda la familia. (...)"Claudia Puig: USA Today
"Una alegre película familiar (...) Cuando
Marley no sale en pantalla, Wilson y Aniston demuestran su talento para
la comedia. Tienen una relación que no es ni en plan telecomedia, ni en
plan sentimental, sino básicamente inteligente y realista (...)"
Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Una imperfecta, desordenada y a ratos cansina
película que tiene momentos de genuina dulzura y algunas gotas de humor
entre la sacarina y la tristeza."
Betsy Sharkey: Los Angeles Times
"Parece un 'totum revolutum' infumable, pero en
manos de David Frankel y sus nada desdeñables guionistas, adquiere un
raro atractivo a pesar de sus desperfectos neoconservadores. (...) el
relato funciona a la perfección (incluido su regodeo en el dolor)"
Javier Ocaña: Diario El País
"Frinkel (...) añade a su cogollo capas de
melodrama familiar generacional, costumbrismo laboralista y hasta
ladridos de cine-peluche para todos los públicos, contaminando
fatalmente el guiso (...)
Javier Cortijo: Diario ABC
Vi esta película en la tele, en inglés y con subtítulos en español, es entretenida y hasta me ha dado penilla el perrín, en fin...
