Movies

It’s sometimes hard to choose a film that fits your mood purely on the basis of the poster or the description on the cover of the DVD. That’s why I wrote this review of the most depressing and the most uplifting film I have seen. They are Marley and Me and Grown Ups 2, respectively.

Marley and Me is a touching comedy about the lives of a dog, Marley, and it´s owner John (Owen Wilson), and their relationship. It starts right before John buys Marley as a present for his wife Jenny (Jennifer Aniston) because he didn’t want to have a baby. It shows how their lives develop, as well as their bond with Marley. The movie has funny moments, but it also has some really depressing ones, and that’s why I see it as the most depressing film I’ve ever seen.

As Marley and Me, Grown Ups 2 is a comedy. It is about a group of friends that, after reuniting 20 years after their graduation (in Grown Ups 1), move to their hometown and decide to organize a party in the house of one of them. I chose it as the most uplifting film because I couldn’t stop laughing at any moment of the movie. Something that makes this possible is its great cast, with iconic comedians such as Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock and David Spade.

I really liked both of them, as they are great films, and recommend them both. Perhaps, Marley and Me is more suitable if you want to chill and enjoy a good movie, while Grown Ups 2 is perfect for laughing and having a good time.
