Marley & Me gets so much surprisingly right. It may be designed to reach a broad audience, but it doesn't pander.

Roger Ebert
This perky, episodic film is as broad and obvious as it could be, but delivers on its own terms thanks to sparky chemistry between its sunny blond stars, Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston, and the unabashed emotion-milking of the final reel.

Los Angeles Times
An imperfect, messy and sometimes trying film that has moments of genuine sweetness and humor sprinkled in between the saccharine and the sadness.

Hollywood Reporter
A warm and fuzzy family movie, but you do wish that at least once someone would upstage the dog.

Film Threat
Not many actors could do justice to the vanilla story presented by Grogan and screenwriters Scott Frank and Don Roos, but Wilson and Aniston – two of the blandest, most uninteresting actors working today – are just the actors to pull it off.
