  • He looks NOTHING like Owen Wilson.

  • Totally understand where you're coming from Mr. Grogan. I watched the movie before reading your book and still I loved the book more. Such a real story and so honest. I truly admire your work. :)

  • I LOVE THE BOOK I LOVE THE MOVIE I LOVE MARLEY AND I LOVE THE LITTLE FILM WITH MARLEY AND PATRICK!!!! too sweet.. Patrick is 18 now, omg.. Weird.. The letters in the page where Marley died.. I can't read it because I cried too hard :) (sorry bad english)

  • Thanks Mr. Grogan, I just watched the movie yesterday... I cried like a baby because I remembered my 9 year old dog Winnie... I missed him so much, he died this year.

    I loved the movie. It's amazing how animals can become a member of our families!

    Amazing movie!

  • I have a 95lb. lab who acts like a complete replica of Marley. In fact, I got her before I knew of the book and before the movie was created, and named her Mya. Little did I know I was in for a treat with a lab. She has put me through the ringer but there is just something about animals (dogs for me especially) that warm your heart and change your life forever!

  • Nothing personal, but this guy is married........ to a woman?

  • @AH1Tsupercobra yea he has like 3 kids and if u read the books hes like a sex freak

  • i'm reading the book right now :D

  • i loved the book and the movie was a great follow up. john, that must have been very painful. you know with marley. best wishes and have a great summer.

  • EVERYTHING about him makes my skin crawl.

  • i lave ur book! im reading it for thr 4th time right now :)))

  • The film didn't emphasize enough good things about Marley. Instead, it focused too much on Marley's destructive side. I couldn't understand why Grogan and his wife put up with such a disobedient, destructive animal. I was rooting for an "Old Yeller" ending by the time it was over.

  • mine 2. I just didn't like how he described the sex and giving birth and checking the baby parts. kdrfiufrduigvjudfi, it still gives me nitemares.

  • this was by far my favorite book ever!

  • I saw the movie before I read the book. Books are almost always better than the movie adaptation of them--Marley & Me is no exception. There's no way everything in the book could have been put into a movie but it was still a good family movie (rare nowadays) and the book is simply wonderful.

  • I watched the movie a number of months ago and loved it. I am now just over 1/2 way through the book. The only bad part is that I now partly believe the movie sucks. The book is so amazing and so funny and sad. It has so many funny things about Marley in it that the movie never mentions. If you have not read the book it is a MUST.

  • Just watched the movie. One of the saddest movies ever IMO. My condolences John.

  • I'm a Pointer/Boxer/Dalmatian mix, and I'm only 55 pounds of dog, but my humans say I have a lot of Marley-esque traits. They also say that I "Marleyed" a pillow recently...

    (More seriously: loved the book, loved the movie.)

  • This was an AWESOME movie. Having said that, we have a mix lab that we got from the pound six years ago. I began training "Freddie" immediately. Dogs are a LOT more fun when you can teach them how to behave: ie sit, down, come. etc.. One of the cool things I taught my dog was to bark when I give him a hand signal. This is really cool. When I have friends over, I will ask Freddie: "Are you better looking than so-and-so"? Freddie will then bark on my hand signal. Pretty cool...

  • I have a golden labrador pup named her Maddie, short for Madeline. I rescued her from the kennel. As incorrigible as she is I came to be much more patient w/ her (having seen the movie). Dogs do change your life.

    Loved the book. Loved the movie. Love Marley and my Maddie.

  • Our Lab died on Dec. 15th. I told my wife "No more dogs". The following week, we flew to Idaho for Christmas. We watched Marley and Me one night out and cried. By the time we got back to Kansas, we had two pups waiting for us. time for war world two. The chewed everything that they could get ahold of. Had to name the runt Scout and the bigger one Nugent. Go figure. Love em both.

  • after i watched marely i loved it a few months after i got a puppy myself a lil chiwawa i named her Marley :) and shes very much a little devil chewing on everything and she loves to tackle our cat, ralphie. :)

  • what was that thing that the vet injects on marley's Dextrose when he about to pass away?

  • John Grogan's writing is addictive. He just seems to understand dogs and what loving a pet means.

    I read Marley and Me over 2 nights. I woke my partner with my sobbing at the ending despite knowing it was coming. He very kindly comforted me as he knew I must have finished the book.

    I shall be looking for John Grogan's other books now and will also rent the movie.

  • I actually hadn't cried in a long time, years even, until I read it. I was so depressed.

  • well i am in the middle of reading the book but i saw the movie and i was in my friends but there was tears going down my eye but i couldnt cry, it was so hard

  • Amei o livro Marley e Eu.

    Congratulations

  • I love Marley and Me it is one of the best books I have ever read. I loved the movie just as much!

  • my puppy is excatually like marley

  • I have a book called Marley: A dog like no other and inside it sed "adult" Marley and me

    whats the difference between these too versions?

  • I'm reading Marley: A Dog Like no Other too. The difference is that the book Marley: A Dog Like No Other is adapted into a sort of kids version of the story. That's why I want to go back to the store and the the adult version

  • @Indyfilms123 Yes is it better it covers more aspects of his life and the book is better.

  • I fell in love with the book. To top that off we brought home a Golden Retreiver puppy a few weeks ago and called him Marley, he acts just like the one in the book. I really want to write John Grogan a letter :). I just love the book. It's truly amazing, I'd love to meet him.

  • C'mon... You don't want the same dog that Marley was. Pick your own name and your retriever brings you a new story.

  • i know i just replie to him saying that marley is such an original name for that dog... there is no point in trying to re- create the same dog...

  • oh well done a Golden Retreiver named Marley is soooo origianl.

  • He's not a Golden Retriever, he is a Labradoodle... oops, Labrador Retriever.

  • @rudypen1216 shesh wats up ur arse.

  • i love the movie it is my 2 fav movie and it just makes me cry at the ending

  • same :(

  • i watched this movie and it really, really made me cry.. even after the movie ended..

  • A 1:05 is that really MARLEY!?!

  • I think so.... cuz I think thats Patric playing with Marley! O_________O OMG!

  • No, it's my guinea pig called Dylan. OF COURSE IT'S MARLEY!

  • love the book, marley, and john grogen

  • I have a Labrador, his name is Jr. He is exactly like "marley" in the movie and after seeing the movie and the end of it, I developed more attachment to him. But I may not be able to see the movie again as I feel very bad for the death of "marley".

  • I watched the movie 2 weeks after my dog died... that was terrible... I started crying from the begin.. I'm reading the book now, i miss just one chapter and i just love it!! but i still keep crying.....

  • I really feel sorry for your loss. Just remember that after time you will start to remember them and smile instead of cry. Also remember how lucky they were to have had a happy life with you.

  • Was that an video of the real life Marley playing with the baby?

  • Yes, that is the "real" Marley in th video with the baby!

  • OMG, that's SO COOL! It's too bad that they didn't make more videos of him, and John did mention in the book that he regretted not being able to capture some "Marley" moments on camera before they ended.

  • The book was better than the movie but it's still a tear jerker too. The movie is awesome and I cried like a baby at the end...I haven't met anyone yet who hasn't!!!

  • I really wanna read the book, I've just finished watching the movie and my eyes looks like tenis balls, I'm a big cry baby but when it cames to animals... it's even worse.

    .

    I'll buy the book and read it, cause everyone that did told me it was really good. I just feel bad for Marley, dogs shouldn't die.

    .

    Kiss

  • i saw both and i cryed more with the booked.

  • LOL, me too...Its very sad!

  • So did I

  • I really enjoyed the book. It was hard to read, because you look at the photos on the inside jackets and you can see his life. So, you know what the ending is about without reading it. What was hard for me is that after his first surgery, they left him and went on vacation when he was so frail and old. Insofar as the film, I didn't see that the actors, except for the oldest boy, showed a real connection to Marley. So, although I cried, I wasn't the mess I thought I would be.

  • I really enjoy the book too...but i cry so so sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooo...much !!

  • A few days ago, threw us a piece of furniture BACK WITH NO LUCK FOR TV happened to Ozzy. I laughed AS THE BEGINNING OF THE FILM RECALLING MY POOR TV.

    BUT ONE THINK THAT IS PART OF LIFE AND continue to love, THOUGHT TO SEE THE FILM, what more might be ... what else may be broken?

    No matter, he is a member of the family .-

    I wish BE WITH U.S. FOR MANY YEARS.

    I LOVE YOU OZZY ....

  • I felt WONDERFUL FILM.

    I HAVE A YELLOW LABRADOR and loved him, entered our lives in 6 years of our marriage, TAKE THE SUPER WELL IS WONDERFUL with our daughter, was his birthday No. 6.

    WHAT WE MOURN THE FINAL I can not describe, one loves to pets CAN NOT THINK OF THEM IN SEPARATE. IN MY CASE MY LABRADOR RETRIEVER IS HOW A SON, ALSO FOR MY HUSBAND, MY DAUGHTER FOR A BROTHER, A FRIEND, AND THAT SHE IS only child, said it was like a brother.

  • i watched it lastnight with my girlfriend, seriously couldnt watch the end because it reminded to much of losing my pet almost a year ago. you have all those great times and great memory and even tho your animal has passed, they will always be in you heart mind and soul

  • I'm not sure how he was able to write a whole book on his dog without being completely broken. I can't write a poem on my Rita(my sweet puppy who was hit by a car last year) without breaking down and crying. Menegox I know how you feel that morning Rita was happily by my side and then that night got a call saying she was dead. Marley and Me was a great book and movie.

  • Marley and me is a great movie and book. before i read the book i knew he was going to die. in the movie and the book i still cried and still today i cry just thinking about it because it reminds me of my dog Roxy, a shih tzu who had got stolen

  • damn this book and movie was so good!

    i never cry for movies but the two which got me were world trade center and marley and me.. :'(

  • I knew the ending from the very beginning, even months before I had even thought of reading it (internet spoiled me), but nonetheless, I still cried like a baby.

  • Had to put my YELLOW LAB down today :'(

  • :( I'm sorry.

  • I love my Yellow Labrador who is about 1 and a half years old. I cried like crazy at the end of the novel and film. I believe everyone in the theater was.

  • Honestly, I fought with my tears towards the end but I simply couldn't cry.  Unlike Grogan, I could not say goodbye to my dog 12 years ago. He had a brain attack...he was there in the morning, healthy and happy, and in the afternoon he was lying dead beside me. The vet couldn't help him, nothing could. The memory remains, I just wish I'd known it was his last morning...just to say thanks for everything and goodbye!

  • aww menegox dude.. thats sad man

  • I just watched the film last night. I was so scared to watch it for a long time because I knew Marley is going to die in the end and I didn't think I could bare not crying. Needless to say, I cried in the end. It just reminded me of my male Chow mix, Marty, who died last year to kidney failure.

  • Just watched the movie, I didn't know Marley was going to die. Our first dog had cancer in her hips and cracked her hip but wouldn't give up, continued to stay by our sides every moment. We kept asking her to 'go home' but she just wouldn't let go. When we had to make the decision to let her go, it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I didn't think I could do it again but today we have a Marley dog and he's just as goofy as Marley!

  • my dog died from cancer a year ago and they had to put him down.. at the end of this movie i cried soo hard i couldnt contain myself.. it was very sad.....

  • omfg at the end of the movie my mom cried like crazy...<3 when she gave him the necklace..<3

  • my dog died like 2 weeks before the movie came out and I didn't know marley died and when i saw it I cried so much I mean a lot and he was my first dog:( I miss him a lot <33333

  • Loved the book and cried at the end of the movie. Love dogs and loved Marley.

  • Marley is such a cute dog. The book was wonderful, although it was really sad when Marley died though. Thank you for the book, Mr. Grogan, and I'm really sorry for the loss of sweet little Marley.

  • This is a BRILLIANT book!!

  • An amazing book that will stick with me forever.

  • I just finished the book and the movie, and I really liked it. One of my favorites from now on! Thank you Mr. Grogan for this wonderful experience.

    I became the owner (or vice versa?) of a lab a month ago, and sometimes I can't help but think of Marley when watching her. (She's slightly hyperactive and tends to eat everything in her way...) Can't help loving her... <3

  • my dog looks exactly the same as marley so wen i read the book and the watched the movie i couldnt help but cry im a boy and i was so happy for the other audible sobs from men in the cinema

  • doesn't he kind of look like own wilson minus the broken nose

  • i'm reading the book now

    and i looove it!

    it is so funny!

    i'm constant laughing =D

    i wanna see the movie~

  • the book is so good i finished in i a week even though i dont like to read

  • same with me. i hate reading but i finished the book in two days.

  • I love your Book! SERIOUS~~ I read a gazillion times!!!

  • I've just finished this book and enjoyed it immensely.

    I can't wait to watch the movie.

    Thanks for a great book, John.

  • Thank You very much Mr. Grogan. It was fab. read ! I'm glad I read your book first. Now it's time for the movie :) Best wishes to You, Your lovely wife and kids !

  • Dang im gonna go buy this book... i Just saw the movie but its kinda cool knowing its based on a true event... even tho its a real sad movie

  • the book is really really good, and i couldn't stop crying at the end.

  • It's weird that he doesn't look anything like he does in the movie! Great makeup job!

  • hes my neighbor haha.

  • See the real movie plus more for free go to goodmovies(DOT)tk

  • good good movie

  • this is a good movie

  • i got a puppy about 7 months ago, called him Marley, i didn't know about this book or the movie, but damn, he has seriously changed our lifes, usually we'd never have dogs cos my mom's allergic, and it causes her serious problems, but my moms ex found him on a moterway, so we kept him till we found another home and he's so mischievious exactly like this dog, it's quite scary how much they relate LOL

  • THE MOVIE IS AMAZING

  • the dog dies in the end...so sad i cried

  • That was SO SAD at the end! You fall in love with the dog! Do all dog movies end that way? It was HILARIOUS at the beginning, and was sad at the end. But I still think that it's overall heart-warming! A dog that steals the heart and makes you want the dog yourself!

  • same like the whole thearter was cryin

  • I cried too! I LUV DOGS SO MUCH! My Dog Skip made me cry so much too!

  • sorry about that last comment it was my brother who typed it lol anyway i love this book its so great

  • i cried soooooooooo hard! we lived in the same neighborhood when i lived in florida! i think we met them, but i don't remember, i was four and the book hadn't been published yet!

  • If you are a horse lover and want to see a good movie, buy Phar Lap. It was made in 1983 and was just made for DVD. Its worth buying. Its about a horse that tragically died and ironically this just last summer...76 years after he died in 1932, scientists determined that he was definately poisoned with arsenic. Considered to be one of the greatest thoroughbreds of all time from Australia.

  • Can someone please suggest other similar movies?

  • Check out "My Dog Skip". It's my #1 dog movie, but be prepared with tissues.

  • You had an amazing dog.

  • it was amazing.

    i seriously about died.

    i cried soooo hard.

  • Ecellent movie!

  • My best friend wants to see it, and I do too, but idk. It's either this or Bedtime Stories. What do you think? I don't feel like crying (I know what happens, but I really, really, really want to see it. What do you think I should do?

  • it's a great movie, not a waste of your time.you would be bawling at the end, everyone else was crying in the theater when i saw it, so its not like people will think you're being overdramatic or anything. so choose it, its awesome!

  • I would go! I felt the exact same way today and we had the same choice with which one and yea I cried but it was such a sweet movie and teaches you such a great lesson of how to take every second you have with someone for granted! Definetely go =) youll love it

  • Yeah, we decided to go to Marley and Me. We're going tomorrow. Thanks for replying :).

  • of course marleyy exellent moviee funny but soo sad at the endd whole theater was crying

  • I know. Omg. When I saw it yesterday, you could hear everybody sniffling. I cried my eyes out.

  • you wouldn't know the difference...oviously the movie didn't touch you like other people that love dogs or there own pets.

  • U r right sorry i was in a bad mood that day and it really did touch me i cry i just dont like movies that make me cry sry.and it was a great movie not bad sry again

  • fuck you it was the best movie that ive seen in a while and the cast was funny as hell

  • thank goodness he wrote a children's version of marly and me... i think u know y

  • eu chorei lendo esse livro...mto lindo a historia de marley

  • great movie, loved it !!

  • I have a lab, loved the movie, but i was picturing the author of the book being a little more like a real man. John Grogan acts like hes gay? No big deal, just pictured him different in real life.

  • I have a lab, looks just like marley, but prettier of course cause he's mine...but I cant bring myself to see the movie, Ive heard what happens and Id rather not put myself thru that heartbreak, dont need to cry about a dog dying to prove im alive, thanks but no thanks!

  • dont see it if you dont want to be reminded of the inevitable! but it will make you relies what you have and not to take it for granted for even 1 second!

  • The movie was BEAUTIFUL. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! No wonde it's the biggest Christmas opener in movie history...of all time!

  • this movie was good and sad at the end

  • awesome movie

  • I cried like a baby and so did everyone else in the theater!

  • Omigod i saw the movie today and i was bawling sooo hard at the end. The movie was really really good, but it is sooo sad!

  • i read the whole book... for me, an hour a chapter!

  • dang, seriously o.0 no offence, but thts really slow...i finished the book in like 2 hours

  • so i watched the movie today and i freaking cried my eyes out! FIVE STARS TO JOHN

  • owen wilson does not kill himself!

    it's such a good movie

    you will cry so hard

  • y is it so sad?

  • because the dog dies.... what kind of question is that?

  • romariosinho, hablo inglesh?

  • You are the best author!

  • Marley and me was a fabulous book. Great job.

  • This is the best book ever! You will laugh and cry. I don't know how the movie will be even half as good as the book

  • I don't know. In the book John talks about Saint Shaun. I know from the trailer that in the movie "John" says he's never had a dog.

  • HAHAHA LOLOLOLOLOLO HAHAHA.

  • he has a weird voice

    cool, but weird lol

  • todos que leem choram no fim do livro!

  • I love this book so much. I cried at the end of the book. It is one of my favorite books ever.

  • NO WONDER THE DOG TOOK OVER, THIS GUY IS a PILLOW BITING FAIRY!

  • his voice is funny

  • before i read the end of the book i told myself i wouldn't cry i thought i did good until i started to gasp for air and felt water coming out of my eyes like it was coming out of a sink. i should have listened but i didn't! i am so super sensitive to animals. But it was the best book I've ever read and i recommend it to anyone who wants to laugh until they cry

  • reminds me of my lab. its like, she just doesnt get it. shes my best friend, tho.

  • i got a one year old black lab named dublin, so far hes ripped out the stuffing of a leather chair, eaten 3 tv remotes, 2 xbox controllers, numerous dvds, 3 stereo speakers, 2 rugs, dug 2 foot deep holes in the backyard, knocked over a dinner table people were sitting at at my parents and many other incidents i can't even think of right now... as stupid as it sounds, i wouldn't want him any other way

  • you said everything! =DD

    They can really make us happy

  • yeah me too. they truly are very wild dogs but thats how i like my baby boy. let dogs act like dogs. let them live the way they want to. his already four years old but i still think he feels like his still a puppy. hahaha

  • I finished reading the book, it's great, reminds me of my dog "Busy".
