A newly married couple who, in the process of starting a family, learn many of life's important lessons from their trouble-loving retriever, Marley. Packed with plenty of laughs to lighten the load, the film explores the highs and lows of marriage, maturity and confronting one's own mortality, as seen through the lens of family life with a dog.
At the very end of the movie Marley is put down due to health issues. Although it is very sad he dies peacefully in a vets office. Him and his owner have a moment of friendship and gratitude where you can really see his love.
Lisa is a 17 year old neighbor of John and Jenny's. She lives with her mother who works night shift. Lisa is attacked sitting in her car in her driveway. The attacker stabs Lisa in the ribs, but her screams send the attacker running.
John is awakened by Lisa's screams, he and Marley rush outside to see what is going on & comfort Lisa until the ambulance arrives. This ultimately causes Jenny, John & Marley to move to a better area.
A girl is stabbed in the movie, prompting the main couple to move to a safer environment. The stabbing happens off-screen but she screams, Owen Wilson’s character runs out to find her wounded (there’s some blood on her side) and she describes what happened to her.
Well, not the act of pooping, but there is poop. Including a scene where the man has to spray Marley’s poop to retrieve a piece of jewelry from it that the dog ate.
The teen neighbor screams when she is stabbed, John goes outside to find out what is going on and assists her in getting an ambulance.
There are typical kids screaming/yelling & Parents yelling at kids in a typical way, not an abusive way.
