Marley & Me: The Puppy Years

Poor writing and poor jokes. Just a money grab. Total waste of time unless you are five years old.

For everyone who has came on here and wrote a horrible review for this movie... I don't think you understand that this is a Children's movie!! If you enjoyed the original 'Marley & Me' thats great, but this is NOT a sequel to it. This is the "puppy years" which shares ONLY the name, "Marley." Which is for kids.. I read the original "Marley" book and enjoyed the original movie. Before renting "The puppy years" I knew it was for children, so I was not surprised nor disappointed.. All I did was read a review for it before I rented for my DAUGHTER! My 4 year old liked it. She also likes the "Buddies" movies. If your CHILD likes the buddy movies then they'll probably like Marley & Me- the puppy years!!"

Marley is the worst puppy in the world. John and Jenny are away on a writing assignment. Carol Grogan is dog-sitting. She leaves her son Bodi with Marley in the care of her father Fred Grogan. Bodi falls for Kaycee Ellis who tells him about the Ultimate Puppy Championship.

How does one do a sequel to a dog movie with a well-known heart-breaking ending? This ain't it. This is a silly kiddie movie with dogs akin to Air Bud. This is unworthy of the original and needs to be cut out of history itself. If Marley & Me needs a sequel, maybe it should be the brother of Marley as one of the other puppies in the same litter. This is bad especially for a sequel to a really good movie.

Marley is back for more swaying fun, and this time he does the talking! That's right, "the worst dog in the world" has a frisky voice and an attitude to match. Join Marley for his mischievous puppy years, as he and his summer pal, Bodie Grogan, wreak havoc at a neighborhood dog show. Marley outwits Dobermans, Shepherds and Collies, stealing hearts in his unique and adorable way. Get your paws on "Marley & Me: The Puppy Years" and fetch big laughs for the whole family.

I didn't understand the purpose of this film, since it has nothing to do with the original Marley, in fact, I understood, slot hunting, raising money using the original title, however, I imagine, that must not have been successful, the film is more of the same about children's puppy films... Bobinhos, cuddly and boring...

Who on Earth was this aimed at??

The original film was not overly suitable for children (to be fair, it wasn't good for anyone - a terrible film), but to then make a straight to DVD sequel just reeks of a cash-in on the first film.

This has very, very little to recommend it and barely deserves recognition.
