Marley's looking better
From Megan Basham in World...
The first few reviews I'd seen of the newest dog movie indicated it was a bit of a dog. World has a different worldview, which may explain their excitement about the film...
If you've seen it, please comment!
Few major Hollywood offerings focus on life in the suburbs, and when they do, the picture they paint is hardly pretty....
When the screenplay for the best-selling memoir Marley and Me landed in director Dave Frankel's lap, he, along with stars Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, saw a chance to change that....Aniston adds that the film offers husbands and wives something they rarely see—a romantic comedy about married people....
While not quite on par with It's a Wonderful Life, Marley and Me reflects a similar heart....at its core, Marley and Me is about human choices and the sacrifices and payoffs that come as a result of those choices....while the film manages to avoid painting suburban life as awash with misery, it doesn't avoid the tough stuff.

I have not seen it yet.. I'm trying to process the publicity push that Jennifer Aniston has made for it. It's a PG movie but she was photographed (essentially) nude for a magazine in the weeks leading up to the release. Now it may have been completely unrelated -- but one news story I heard said she was in the magazine to promote her new movie. I just find it bizarre.
