This breezy comedy strolls through the happily uneventful married life of two Miami journalists, Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston.

As Wilson becomes a successful columnist, often writing about the couple's pet Labrador, Marley, his central dilemma is whether he should stick with humorous columns, or whether he should get back to hard news reporting. Maybe I'm just jealous, but as his wage packets and houses get ever huger, it's not a dilemma that seems particularly pressing.
