Wilson has a scene near the end with Marley that's the most wrenchingly tender acting of his career.
75
When Marley is not on the screen, Wilson and Aniston demonstrate why they are gifted comic actors. They have a relationship that's not too sitcomish, not too sentimental, mostly smart and realistic.
75
It's an enjoyable and unpretentious perspective of life that reminds us how important and rewarding the little things can be.

And then there's Alan Arkin, who, as John's editor, is hilarious and dry--it's frankly a shame he's not onscreen for every single scene.

A warm and fuzzy family movie, but you do wish that at least once someone would upstage the dog.
