The incoherent, moralising script demeans a number of actors, including William H. Macy, Judy Greer and David Walliams, reduced by a kindly editor to an ineffective cameo.

Like most movies aimed at the kindergarten set, Marmaduke balances its giggly, gross-out gags with a stern moral agenda.

No! No! Definitely not!

Hmmm. New dog in the neighbourood goes to the local dog friendly park(high school). There he becomes instant friends with the 'mutts'(geeks). His sights are caught by the sheer beauty of another dog (amember of the 'purebreds', or 'cheerleader') who is going out with thetop dog of the 'purebreds' (jocks). Of course, a lady dog in the'mutts' secretly likes him. To get in with the 'purebreds', Marmadukestages a bogus cat fight with the family cat and disowns the 'mutts',crushing his crush's heart (awww..). When the fam is away (yes,somewhere amongst the fray the two-leggers manage a cameo appearance)Marmaduke holds a frat party whereby his bogus cat fight is exposed.Then the purebreds go back to their hangout and the mutts want nothingto do with him. Do I really need to tell you how it ends? But, don't take my word for it. When I started the movie there were 3adults and 2 children watching. By the end of the movie the 2 childrenhad gotten bored and and went off to play. Seriously, don't waste yourtime or your money. Even the kids know the game is up for this genre.

This threadbare film mostly feels like a way to keep out-of-school kids occupied during summertime.

There is only one word that can aptly describe this film --- painful!

It's a talking-animal movie based on a one-joke, not-very-funny comic strip. That should be sufficient information for anyone old enough to read this review.

The first of many instances of doggy-doo humor comes about three minutes into the film.

A sprightly family comedy about a frisky Great Dane and his human companion who both learn new things during a major transition in their lives.

The moment I saw Marmaduke's big drooling lips moving, I knew I was in trouble.

Once upon a time, there was a promising young acting talent who went by the name of Owen Wilson.

The movie works in a way that toddlers and early primary schoolers will definitely dig.

Another Kid Romance

My son enjoyed this movie (8), it was doing okay with me until the female dogs entered the scene. I hate children movies that try to incorporate adult themes in the scheme. Marmaduke is attracted to one female while his female friend is attracted to him.Can kids just be kids and not so concerned about relationships yet? They'll get plenty of that as teenagers.

I LOVE DOGS, BUT THIS MOVIE NEEDS A POOPER SCOOPER!

Before I review this film I want to state for the record that I do like smart family friendly films(I happen to love the comic strip Marmaduke also), but unlike Alvin and the Chipmunks or How to Train your Dragon, this film is just one bad joke after another. I'm sure the really little kids will find something to laugh about here and parents may like the film because their kids like it, but for everyone else this film is boring with very little humor. The film starts and ends with a dog F A R T joke(ha-ha very funny)! This isn't as bad as the two Chihuahua movies, but it isn't so much better than I can give it above a 1 1/2 star rating......probably 2 1/2 stars for very young children, but there are so many better films to introduce your children to. Please give your kids more credit than this steaming pile!

Marmaduke - the Man with the Plan

This review is from: Marmaduke (DVD) If this is not the funniest movie, then what can top it? Of course, I have a soft spot for talking animals... and the opening and closing with the same phrase twice from this huge lovable dog takes the cake... mind you, being a cat person, Siamese especially, having the Mexican accented straight man (oriental cat) behind this canine, well, wear rubber pants if drinking beer during the show...

Well, here's another talking-animal movie, full of computer-generated imagery and body-function humor.

one long cringe-fest that starts out abysmally and gets worse with horrifying determination.
