Marley & Me

A few days ago, I watched the movie Marley & Me--a movie starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson (and a cute Labrador puppy with enough raw energy to power ten major U.S. cities). I thought it would make a great comedy to review for Guide readers because of the funny trailer and the PG rating. I was surprised to find, though, that the movie is actually geared more for adults, so I opted not to do a full review.

While there are enough funny and heartwarming moments to classify it as a comedy, the main story follows the couple and their dog through some serious life issues such as career decisions, marriage, parenting, and loss. I probably spent as much time crying as I did laughing. I was also surprised at the amount of suggestive content that managed to slip under the radar for a PG rating. Overall, it just didn't seem to be the kind of movie that teens would really like.

I'm not sure if any of you have any interest in Marley & Me, but I thought I would give you a heads-up that it might not be what you are expecting.
