Marley And Me

Need a good cry? Me neither, but go see this movie anyway.

It's a sermon about the joys and struggles of marriage, disguised by a story about the life cycle of a rambunctious but highly lovable dog. When we make choices, we often give something up - a career, free time, a home - to gain the thrill of new opportunity. Some (like the surprisingly charming Owen Wilson and his purpose-driven wife Jennifer Aniston) choose the road of greater family responsibility, and some (Wilson's friend Sebastian) choose that of career and independence.

Despite the occasional death, loneliness, or conflict, life is well-lived in the end when we choose the path that suits us.
