Marley & Eu 2: Filhote Encrenqueiro

The other reviewers are right. This movie could be better.

For starters it does not have the same tone of the original "Marley" film. OK whatever it is meant for different audience - that of young children. But if you are going to keep to the character of the original "Marley" keep to the character. The whole point of the Marley story is that other for some basic things such as not going to the bathroom in the house he is UNTRAINABLE!!!! To suggest that two 13 year olds who are untrained as dog trainers can train an untrainable dog doesn't even make sense.

Then you have two 13 year olds acting like they are five, particularly the boy. A 13 year old boy having to convince his mother that he is old enough and responsible for the responsibility of a dog is laughable. Thirteen year olds are not responsible, but they are not completely irresponsible either.

Then you have the evil characters. This is a film not a comic book. Even if this film is meant for children, let's try to be at least somewhat believable.

I did like the actor who played the grandfather. He was very likable.

:((((

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.

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.

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.

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...
