Marley & Me
Newlyweds John (Owen Wilson) and Jenny Grogan (Jennifer Aniston) abandon the harsh winters of Michigan and head south to begin their new lives in West Palm Beach, Florida. They obtain jobs as journalists at competing local newspapers, buy their first home, and attempt to navigate their way through the challenges of starting a new life together.
In an attempt to postpone starting a family John Grogan gets his wife a puppy, called Marley, for her birthday – a puppy that’s turns into “the world’s worst dog”. Amidst the mayhem he generates through the years, Marley sees the Grogans through the ups and downs of family life, through job and home changes, and most of all, through the myriad challenges of a growing family. As John and Jenny come to realise, Marley – “the world’s worst dog” – somehow brings out the best in them.
MARLEY & ME is released nationwide by Twentieth Century Fox on March 11, 2009.
