Top review. Surprisingly Watchable. The first half, with cute puppies and slap stick humor, will probably draw in the younger audiences, while the last half, a surprisingly substance filled story of a marriage growing past its prime, will appeal to the parents. The inevitable last bit will hit it home for everyone.

Even teenagers. I know because I am one. That really is a 'family' film. On a different note, what I was really impressed with in this film is Owen Wilson. I have never been too impressed with his work, he's tolerable, but that's about it. In this, however, he had a very heartfelt performance for what he was given.

The last few scenes were among his most impressive work ever. Give Marley and Me a try, if you're out with the whole family. FAQ 4. How does the movie end? Details Edit.

Grogan wrote in USA Weekend , this poor pup has a congenital hip condition. Websites by InTouch Practice Communications. You are warned.

Trainer: We did what I call anti-training. We just encouraged bad behavior and told them it was good. The most important thing was to not rehearse him so he'd be natural we can hear him panting. Owen: I think you worked with my dog. Can you talk about the challenges of working with a dog and the different ages of dogs?

Jennifer: Well, I think it helped only because I wasn't afraid of dogs but honestly he was so easy to work with. We had a ball; we never had a hard time. Was there any scene that was tricky or difficult or took a long time to get? Jennifer: The scene where we were taking him to get neutered.

That was definitely a challenging scene in the car 'cause you also have Matilda in the back seat, the trainer who's fantastic. It was just a lot of action for the dog. Owen: Clyde was always good at getting his stuff. Getting the puppy to sort if imitate like he was going to the bathroom like that one indicates Clyde took a long time because he had a little stool that he had to sit on. They were going to I guess green screen.

Jennifer: Don't give it away. One of the things I really like about this movie is that its sort of like a romantic comedy after marriage and you so rarely see that and actually I'd like for all of you to comment on how wonderful that is for married people.

So many times marriage in the suburbs is portrayed as miserable and this was not the case. Jennifer: No. How did you physically get ready for movie? Jennifer: Well I trained five hours a day [laughter]. How did I physically get ready? Not much. Physically I had to show the passage of time, there were wigs and certain extensions of hair, additions; a bang piece for a more youthful look [laughter] but that's basically it. Owen: But you did do a lot of training. That one scene where we had to do the running you were kind of bandaged up, kind of getting helped back to the start mark and every time they said 'action', it was off like you see in Bolt.

Jennifer: She laughs That's very true. Jennifer, did you adopt one of the dogs who played Marley? Jennifer: I didn't but both of my dogs are adopted, but that was years ago. I almost adopted the dog that's in the poster. What was the name of that dog? Owen: Tank? Or Chud?! There were so many dogs playing Marley that it was like doing a Vietnam movie where you didn't want to get too close because you knew that that dog might not be there the next day. Jennifer: Yeah and they would grow up, literally.

It's so true. Owen: And then some of the people that did adopt some of those puppies then called the trainers saying they were having sort of behavior problems laughter. Can you talk about why you wanted to do this and a lot of times when we talk to actors they will say 'you know I never could have played this role unless I had been a mother' do you think you should have waited? Owen: How many times have you played Owen: She's like Lady Madonna. Jennifer: The reason I wanted to be in this movie is that it wasn't the sort of girl trying to get the guy or the guy trying to get the girl or the chase and then you end the movie where they ride off into the sunset.

This is sort of the prequel to that. Owen: Sequel. Jennifer: I'm sorry, sequel. My bad. Thank you Owen. I just loved it. I responded to the material. Okay almost everyone knows now that the elderly Marley not the puppy finally dies in the movie.

Can you talk about those scenes? I mean people will cry. I did.
