Most of the shots were used, except maybe Dutch Angle/Tilt. The editing was perfect. Everything seemed to fit together, and there weren't any major mistakes that I've noticed. They also used lighting to bring together the film. Like whenever Jennifer was standing in the house with the lights on, and John saw her. They could have just had the lights off, but it showed Jennifer's relationship with Marley. The scene with the most emotion is the final scene, when the kids are reading letters to Marley and putting them into his grave. The emotion felt almost tangible as the actors carried their emotions throughout the moment. Jennifer was telling the kids about the necklace, saying how the necklace was given to her for the start of a new family, she says their family has already begun. Jennifer's crying and sorrow sounded realistic and genuine. I think Marley and Me is an excellent family film that will take you through a roller coaster full of emotion. It's a movie suitable for any age and anybody will love it. It was strike everyone's heart, but you will soon come to love the Grogan
