The movie version of Marley & Me begins shortly after young John (Owen Wilson) and Jenny Grogan (Jennifer Aniston) tie the knot. Moving to the warm weather climate of Florida and taking jobs at two of the local newspapers, Jenny and John don’t feel ready for a baby yet so John surprises Jenny with a golden Labrador puppy for her birthday.

From the start the cute little clearance pup is a mess waiting to happen as he tears through belongings, races away from his owners, and goes berserk during thunderstorms. John and Jenny try to get Marley trained at obedience school but he gets kicked out faster than you can say “Hello Kathleen Turner.” (The Academy Award nominee plays Marley’s beleaguered dog trainer in a brief sequence.)
