Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Frankel turns the camera toward the canines as frequently as possible, but too often we're stuck with Wilson and Aniston's bland characters. You wonder if it might have been better to let sleeping dogs lie.

Not every book has a movie lurking in it.

I think this movie works because of the relationship on screen between Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston.

The dog -- or the many dogs who play Marley through the years -- also delivers some of the funniest scenes.

fresh:
Evidently contrived and something of an ungainly hybrid, the film shares its canine protagonist's facility for wearing down your resistance.
