Dove Review

If dogs could talk – wait a minute, in this funny prequel to Marley & Me they can. Brodi and his puppy Marley spend their summer vacation from school with Brodi’s strict but loving grandfather. In an attempt to find something to do, Brodi decides to enter Marley in a speed and agility competition. Marley and his new found puppy friends are fun to watch (and listen to) as they attempt to overcome their fears and perform the stunts necessary to complete the course.

The film is light hearted and very enjoyable to watch. Lessons such as finishing what you start and what it means to be responsible are all taught in fun yet meaningful ways. The antics of the puppies will have your family laughing over and over again. We are pleased to award “Marley & Me: The Puppy Years” our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for all ages.
