The Supertöle.

The shocking trivial, but extremely clever family film "Marley & Me" tells the story of a nice couple, the 13 years from a naughty dog is accompanied through life.

 

This is a film where you with classic movie criticism is not far. From an artistic point of view, "Marley & I" a debris field. It is about a young couple and sympathetic journalists (Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston), which is in front of children for safety's sake wars erstmal a dog, respectively, of the next 13 years then an integral part of the life of the two and their growing family. The adorable Labrador retriever Marley is a bit naughty and wild, so it is at the beginning of a few little original, but amusing scenes with tattered furniture and a draconian dog trainer (Kathleen Turner) returns.

Many viewers will then be at a great dramatic conflict to wait for a climax, an indication of what this story so special. But there's nothing. "Marley & Me", after the success of autobiographical novel by John Grogan filmed by David Frankel ( "The Devil Wears Prada"), has no particular history. In fact only highly ranks Frankel professionally the scenes of a deeply ordinary marriage together. The two argue that sometimes a little bit, have mostly fond, children come there, he will be transported, they are on the job, she is somewhat frustrated, then not, they move around - just as what happened in 13 years of a relationship, except that all the time a dog runs through the picture.

A dramaturgical approach, there is not really how random the individual scenes are presented - as if they were cute little movie for themselves and not built for successive parts of a large ensemble. The result is less a movie than a splashing time - until the only truly important part of "Marley & Me": the big tearful finale, which is almost obscenely manipulative comes, but anyone who ever owned a dog or love won dry eye in the cinema hall is dismissed.

"Marley & Me" may be no more valuable or important film, but he is without question well. The two main characters are so charming and relaxed being that they are the gracious couple from next door immediately decreases, whenever it might be boring, the director simply lets the dog broke anything, and at the end before we moved louder anyway almost forget previously that no significant happened. And in terms of David Frankel makes the crucial right: He takes the erwartbarerweise mostly from passionate dog friends existing audience seriously enough that he just a normal relationship between man and dog and point to the particular values explained - a film for an verschworene community, just can not understand who is not heard.
