Jun 4 2008'Marley & Me' Teaser Trailer Appeals to Running Puppy, Pun Fans
Many lazy Chariots of Fire parodies have been made over the years, but I'm pretty sure none have ever had such a nonexistent payoff as this one. Are we supposed to think the dog was just running joyfully along the beach, totally within the limits of his acceptable behavior? Ut! Turns out, his (surprisingly famous!) masters would not prefer he act in such a way! Is the payoff that this isn't a Cottonelle commercial? That someone found "Heel the love" to be an acceptable tagline? Honestly, someone explain this to me.

Damn, I thought it was going to be a Bob Marley biopic.

I see tons of ragging on this film. But seriously. Read the book. It's an excellent read and any animal lover will surely enjoy it.

I concur with #3. Read the book before commenting. Seriously, it's a really funny read. Especially if you own a dog that as eccentric as the one in the book.

Is this about Trey's dog Marley?

Trey's dog? Uh, no. It's not about the dog per se, but a dog becomes part of a family. It reads a collection of interwoven stories from the author's perspective of strange and crazy things this dog does. Good read. I highly recommend it.
