A while back in 2005, my father and I read a book called Marley & Me by Josh Grogan and I could picture all of the scenes in the book like a movie or video.  And, a few years later, Marley and Me is released as a movie,  boy, was I right?!  I haven't been to many movies so this was a treat.  Also, for the first time we went to a movie at 10:20 AM so I was tired and it was the day after the movie release.  After all of the previews and commercials ended, I was glad to finally get to the movie.  The movie began showing the two main characters, John and Jenny who got married.  It all started when Jenny wanted to have goals in life with steps.  The story showed that life is not a schedule or agenda but more as a goal plan.  It was similar to “The Game Plan” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Madison Pettis from Cory in the House on Disney Channel which is now available on DVD or on TV.  Marley came in when John & Jenny got a dog, its first name was "Clearance Puppy" as it was on sale.  Soon, they knew why Marley was called "Clearance Puppy" and was so cheap.  The dog is a real troublemaker, for sure!  The movie shows how they go through life and the dog brings them all together.  Marley & Me is full of love, mischief and happiness.  It is an exceptional movie and is very touching. Some special surprises are included only available to movie watchers so go to your local movie theater or visit http://www.fandango.com for movie tickets and showtimes.

I would rate Marley & Me, a full five/out of 5.
