Despite the sadness, the film highlights the importance of memories and lessons learned over the years.
The performances of Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston, along with the endearing presence of Marley, make this film a touching story about life, love and friendship.

So many tears ❤️
Just knowing that Owen Wilson is part of the casts in this film is enough to make me watch it. He's very good with role interpretation and this movie does seem like an entertaining one.
I'm not a big fan of movies with pets, but this is one of the very few exceptions I have thanks to the excellent work done by Owen Wilson. Plus, the story, the protagonist's development with his pet, and the film's funny and emotional moments are some of the best.
Good review.
