The commercials make Marley and Me look a movie for the whole family. Don't be fooled. It should be at least rated PG-13. The movie is barely about Marley, but I still cried when he died, even though I hated the movie. Nothing inappropriate is shown, but it's talked about.

I rated it 10+ because it really depends on what a parent wants a kid seeing, and what kind of kid it is. For example, my five year-old sister has seen it no problem. The sex scenes are not explicit, but depending on how much you know about sex you will probably know what they are doing if you are 10+. For younger kids it will most likely fly right over their heads. At most they might embarrassingly ask you what they're doing! It also depends on how sensitive your child is, because the ending is -SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER- very sad, and almost nobody will be dry-eyed. If your kid is extremely sensitive you might want to reconsider showing them this. The sex scenes don't show anything explicit, but like I said you will probably know what they are doing if you are 10+. Maybe younger, it all depends on how much you know about sex and such. Language isn't that bad, with the occasional Sh*t or D*mn and Ass, but not terrible. The violence scene with the girl again depends on how sensitive your kid is, for example my younger sister just kind of ignored it, but if you have a very sensitive little kid who could have nightmares from it you may want to skip this scene. I hope this review was helpful to you :).

This is a very sweet, touching, and humorous story. I recommend this to older teens due to the adult main characters and their mannerisms. There are some sex scenes and some nudity. Overall a great story, but might be something worth waiting for, adults will enjoy this more than teens.

This movie was a very sweet movie and I thought that the whole subject behind the movie was very cute. In the beggining of the movie there was WAY too much sex and sex talk, they had three babies one after another. I wish that this movie talked more about Marley instead of the parents and having kids. John's friend Sebastian was a girl magnet, using John's kids and Marley to hook girls up... In the other half of the movie it is very sweet and more family time with marley as he grows older. The end is very sad, if you don't cry then there is something wrong with you! Cute but could be better

Marley & Me Marley & Me is a great movie because it shows what life is really like. It also shows how an animal is not only a pet but a friend and also apart of your family once you get them pets are like your children they have feelings and emotions just as we do. It also shows that some times the spoiled ones are the sweetest just like jam. Marley & Me also has good morals to it, and has real life problems in the movie. The first time I saw Marley & Me was when it came out in theaters my boyfriend and I went and watched it, and I absolutely feel in love with it. The movie is really good for any age groups, but I would say best for ages 10+ because they could really understand the movie and what the meaning of the movie is. I would defiantly give Marley & Me a five star rating.

I should have read the reviews before sitting down to watch this movie with my 4 year old. It is not a movie for young children...parents be warned! There are inaprropriate love scenes, a doctor's office visit. There are some crass scenes where the dog is shown, pardon me, "h*mping" a lady's leg, pooping in the water at the beach, etc. There is also the issue of language such as when the owner called the dog a "son of a @#$%^" --Among other words such a "d@#$."--- And then the ending was horrible...the dog dies! Never would I let my child watch this. We were lured in by the cute picture of the puppy on the cover of the DVD, thinking it would be a sweet movie about a dog.....WRONG!

This movie is not at all for the younger set. It is a movie about real life and, although there's nothing wrong with that, most younger kids don't need to be exposed to those things quite yet. There are hard lessons in this movie...*ing to grips with a life that didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, the difficulties in raising children, and the emotional aspects of living with a pet who becomes a member of your family. There were a lot of positive things here.....a husband and wife who truly seem to be in a loving relationship where they both do things to help make the other one happy, showing the realities of being frustrated with a pet and yet still loving and caring for it as part of the family, and children who really seem to get along as siblings. The sexual aspects of the film are not explicit, and they could open a conversation with older children about where babies come from, etc., but it is not something that children younger than 8 or 9 need to even have an inkling of, I think. Overall, this is not a "for the whole family" type of movie. If anything, it is a movie that is best enjoyed by adults, although there would be little worry for teenagers watching it. It is, however, very highly emotional and could really upset more sensitive children and youths.

This is one of the saddest movies i have ever seen. The dog dies, a woman gets stabbed, Jennifer Anniston's baby dies in the womb. Don't get me wrong, i love this movie, but the emotional impact it causes might be too much for kids to take. What really stinx is that it was advertised as a really cute, kids movie but was really mature and sad. My rating: PG-13 for sexual content, language, a drug reference, and brief vioelnce.

This movie is soo cute funny and just plain great. There is little profanity and "other stuff" but some is implied. A great family movie if the members of the family are 13 and over.
