This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Expected more

Don't listen to the negative reviews

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

The problem is not that the title indicates the original movie continuance, but I really think it should have another title because the movie structure is completely different from the original, so why maintain the same title? Just to have more viewers? Unnecessary.Well, I don't like when real animals talk. We can see that it is not requirement, because of the success of other movies, and I think it's to force too much. And the history was very normal, it wasn't interesting. Even for kids! Don't underestimate their intelligence, a movie don't need to be silly when it can teach something, or just have more creativity and smart aspects.Of course, the dogs are really cute, and my star goes to them!!

We turned this movie off after watching it for about 3 minutes. I even called Redbox and got a refund on the movie - which I have never done before.It starts off really weird with characters that were not even in the previous movie. Marley is being watched by this neighbor boy and his mom thinks he "her son" is a screw up. Their acting was terrible.Once Marley started "talking" - we turned the movie off. Marley is played by a real dog but his mouth is animated. It looked really cheesy. If Marley's mouth won't have been animated, we would have probably watched it of another 3 minutes or so.This movie is meant for kids ages 4-8.

Let me begin with an apology to the people reading this. I am only giving this 1 star because you can not give it any lower. I also wish to apologize from the American people to the Author of Marley and Me, we are sorry that Hollywood has done this to your story.Now with that said, why why why why why why..... why would you take a wonderful heartfelt movie like Marley & Me and try to milk it like a cash cow. This movie, which I sat through because my wife rented it for our children, was the worst thing I have seen in my life, and to date I have viewed about 7,000 movies, 5,240 of which we own. (okay we have no life) Marley is not a talking dog movie, you want a talking dog, go watch Scooby Doo, Marmaduke or the 1 million Air Bud movies and puppy sequels.I sincerely wish Hollywood would stop doing this to movies, making useless sequels after sequel trying to get a buck. Yes, this was a direct to video movie, but it should have been freebie for walking into Wal-Mart. I can see the greeter, "Hi welcome to Wal-Mart, here's your free crappy movie, and a fork to gouge your eyes out after viewing it." I know they will never make any money to cover the coast of this movie, I am sure it is headed straight to the dollar store in a few weeks. I admit I watched it, we rented it from Family video (no way was I buying it, or even considering buying it at 15.99 at Wal-Mart, we had a free rental and the only thing it cost me was my time. Of which I am considering suing the studio for reparations for that. When even my 5yr old says 'dad this movie sucks can I go play" you know it is bad, this kid made me sit through Rango... twice which for all of the ways it annoyed me, she loved it. Regardless, if you are considering seeing this, please do not... you will beg for a mercy killing before it is over... This movie is definitely one of the ten signs of the Apocalypse. If this is any sign of the rest of the crap to come out of Hollywood in the near future, I am praying that the world will end like the crazy preacher guy was saying earlier this year in November... at least that way, we can not be tortured anymore with this kind of garbage. Really who gave this movie the okay... who said let's waste money and time, and all the respect our studio may still have... let's make a nonsensical kiddie version of Marley and me and call it the puppy years... That person was on some serious drugs... as were the people who said okay let's do it... here's your money...

Seriously? A sequel to Marley & Me would have to be written by God to make any sense.. not some bad writers.This movie is absolutely awful: awful script; awful actors; awful plot..And a Talking dog with sunglasses??? wth.. i watched 15 min (if i had watched more I probably would be flying to US to kill the producers) and can't do It anymore...If you liked Marley & Me, DON'T watch this one.. Thanks for trying to destroy one of my favorites movies, Hollywood.. again.
