What's it about: Based on John Grogan's best-selling book, Marley & Me is everything but just a story about a man and his dog. Yes, Marley is the crazy labrador John (Wilson) gets home; but the film deals with so much more than being tagged as another Lassie.

Starting off withu00a0 John getting married to Jenny (Aniston) and later bringing home a 'clearance puppy' he names Marley (after Bob Marley) to keep the idea of becoming a parent on the backburner. Little does he know that Marley acts as a catalyst in his life.

What's hot: You don't necessarily have to own a dog or be a dog person to enjoy this flick. Marley & Me works on many levels, be it the lucid screenplay, dialogues you connect with, Wilson and Aniston's chemistry, the camerawork that captures the cities and towns in American states beautifully or the soundtrack; everything fits perfectly.

Marley's transition from being a pup to a full-grown lab is smooth and stunningly captured. Wilson is at his natural best. The scene where he starts writing his column chronicling his adventures with Marley and Jenny is spot on.

His chemistry with Marley where he treats him almost like an equal talking to him, sharing his woes, celebrating his victories, is superb. Carry a box of tissue papers, as the end will make your heart melt no matter how strong you are!
