Marley & Me plays like a modern day Norman Rockwell portrait with a little more bite courtesy of the snark-friendly screenwriters & the title&s wild mutt The sets are sumptuous with every shot lovingly lit to look like a Hallmark card The winning lead performances help elevate the picture above its feel-good counterparts; Aniston is radiant & Wilson shows off sharp dramatic chops giving some maturity to his loveable comedic persona Alan Arkin gives a scene-stealing performance as Wilson&s boss & Kathleen Turner proves to be a great sport with her physically demanding cameo as Marley&s obedience instructor But in the end the picture belongs to the dogs & for once that&s a good thing A film that keeps the audience cooing cracking up & crying Marley & Me is sure to become a family favourite
