Storyline
After their wedding, newspaper writers John and Jennifer Grogan move to Florida. In an attempt to stall Jennifer's "biological clock", John gives her a puppy. While the puppy Marley grows into a 100 pound dog, he loses none of his puppy energy or rambunctiousness. Meanwhile, Marley gains no self-discipline. Marley's antics give John rich material for his newspaper column. As the Grogans mature and have children of their own, Marley continues to test everyone's patience by acting like the world's most impulsive dog.

Trivia
For the veterinarian scenes, an older and well-trained dog was used. The dog was cued to lie still on the exam table, and the actors were well-rehearsed for the mild action. To make it appear as if Marley had an IV drip, the tube attached to the IV bag was taped to the dog's leg and gauze was wrapped around it. No syringe or actual medicine was used. On the other end of the tube was a pouch hidden under the dog's blanket, and the liquid flowing through the IV ended up in that pouch, not in the dog's body. The dog's eyes closing was a visual effect.

User Reviews
Wonderful movie about life as the characters played by Jennifer Anniston and Owen Wilson get married and start their life together with the "most stupidest dog in the world". Lots of laughs in this movie but also as the story unfolds with the Grogan's careers and family they all love their dog "Marley".
This can be quite the tear jerker however I found the movie to be quite heart warming and very beautiful. We watch as the family grows and how their silly dog is a very important part of the family. Anyone who has had a dog can relate the movie moves along at a nice pace. Both Anniston and Wilson did very well here especially Wilson as we get to see him acting a serious part and doing it so well.
