NRD Pick Of The Week: Marley And Me

This week’s New Release DVD pick is Marley & Me. I have yet to see this film, but my 9-year old daughter not only watched it, but read the book as well. What did she think of it? I’m not saying as I’m going to do something a little different this week. I’m going to have her write her review on it. Everything in the block quote below comes directly from her. Spell check will handle the spelling errors, but I’m not going to adjust it for comprehension. I’m just going to let her go at it:

Marley & Me is one of my favorite movies. I got the book for Christmas. Marley & Me is a exiting movie and will be a great family movie and will prove any family dog to be a angel. I was a little disappointed because they left out a lot of good parts. Marley is a Christmas puppy and was bought from a breeding farm and turns out to be a disobedient disaster. But deep down inside his family would never be the same without him!

Marley & Me releases this Tuesday on DVD & Blu-Ray.

Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston go to the dogs with Marley & Me, a tale of a couple embarking on the adventure of marriage, career, family, and the world’s worst dog. At least that’s how writer and newlywed John comes to describe his blonde lab, Marley, when he takes the puppy home and finds that the fluff-ball has an uncanny ability to eat and/or destroy just about anything. As years go by, John and his wife, Jennifer, contemplate having babies and moving across the country, while Marley grows into 100 lbs. of funny, wild, completely untrainable canine companionship — as well as one of the most important people in the family. Marley & Me is based on the best-selling autobiographical book by columnist John Grogan.
