Just to correct you, the movie is not meant to be a comedy ... wrong right from the off.

The movie is not supposed to be about the dog, it's meant to portray "life with the worlds worst dog" and portray the impact of Marley on the life of the Grogans.

Fairly bland, but deliberately sarcastic "review".

Have a look at the concept behind the original book and maybe even read the views of Grogan himself.

Have to agree with you on Wilson and Anniston though ... hope we age that well!

I'm sorry, I understand the author was not intending it to be a comedy, however the simple fact is that it was marketed as a comedy. I even talked to the promotions department that goes to theaters for screeners and they agreed that the film was marketed as a comedy.

Besides, I talked with multiple families exiting the theaters who had the same opinions as me as in they were under the impression it was a family comedy since in almost every scene of the movie trailer, the dog is doing something comical.

And if the movie was supposed to be more about the Grogans they needed to conclude with the stories they set up as in Owen Wilson's final career move, even though I know it was to write the book, a alot of people didn't get that.

I will agree I took a very sarcastic stand on the review of this movie, but I merely was outraged by how this movie overshadowed real masterpieces in theaters right now like curious case, the wrestler, frost/nixon, milk, and the list goes on. Thanks for your criticism though.

I laughed more from this review than from the movie.
