Movie Reviews

Movie Review from EmpireOnline.com

When did Lee Pace and Judy Greer get old enough to play the parents of a teenager? Where did adapting a comic-strip about a comically destructive giant dog turn him into the canine version of an American high-schooler in an astonishingly derivative fish-out-of-water plot? What is William H. Macy doing? Why did no-one at the studio notice that this plot was entirely recycled from a string of forgettable family comedies and teen movies?

Movie Review from TotalFilm.com

After Marley & Me, Owen Wilson finds himself back in the doghouse as the voice of a live-action Great Dane in this flat adap of a long-running newspaper comic strip.

Relocated from Kansas to Southern California, Marmaduke discovers the difficulty of fitting in among the various canine cliques, especially when he falls for an already attached pedigree collie (The Black Eyed Peas’ Fergie).

Movie Review from TimeOut.com

The inexplicable popularity of the talking-animal genre has led to numerous crimes against cinema, especially since the advent of lip-sync CGI. But few have been as egregious as this adaptation of cosy comic strip ‘Marmaduke’, first sketched by Brad Anderson in 1954, which is a fair indication of how old the jokes are.

The screenwriters attempt to update the timeworn concept of a loveable great dane causing havoc for his all-American family by moving the entire enterprise to Orange County.

Movie Review from Movies.com

Some people will complain that this movie betrays the loveable Marmaduke comic strip by scripting a scenario in which he goes through unpleasant d-baggy personality changes. But I say this is a good lesson for kids. Show the little ones that you should be nice to your friends even if the popular kids try to recruit you and turn you evil. Have some backbone. Besides, it’s not like the movie’s target audience has fond memories of a newspaper comic strip. They probably don’t even know that newspapers were things people used to read.

    It reminds me of Scooby Doo with the CGI Great Dane. I wish they would use a regular great dane instead.

    I know this looks bad but thats to us adults. My girls watched it and thoughtit was great; theyare of course 3 & 4. This will appeal to the little ones and will do well on rental and sell thru.
