Marmaduke Reviews
Marmaduke is exclusively manufactured for child use, and analyzing it would be equal to discussing the design of a rattle. [Full review in Spanish]

Dog farts seem to be the meat and potatoes of the writers' funny bones.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Nov 30, 2020
It's so incredibly bland and inoffensive that it's really tough to actually call it a bad film.
| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 16, 2020
That Marmaduke makes a point of farting when Phil and Debbie kiss sums up the film's level of appeal.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 23, 2018
As talking animal movies go Babe set the benchmark for me and this isn't in the same ball park ... but the small children in the audience were very still suggesting that any animal with something to say deserves their attention. It just didn't hold mine.

a gross mis-use of CGI animals

Marmaduke sinks to Beverly Hills Chihuahua levels of awfulness and only reaffirms that talking animals aren't funny -- they're boring.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 7, 2010
Spectacularly sentimental, full of ridiculous computer-animated action, and makes sure its animals are a good deal less pallid than the humans on view.

There is only so much fun you can have with a talking dog and Marmaduke quickly exhausts the possibilities.

Better than Cats & Dogs, but praise hardly comes much lower.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 21, 2010
Fans of the single-panel cartoon that has run in newspapers since the 1950s will find plenty to disappoint them in this live-action adaptation.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 20, 2010
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.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 20, 2010
Dogs may be for life but the memory of this film will last about 20 seconds.

Oh dear.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 20, 2010
Mirthless family romp that hits all the lowest comedy dominators.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 19, 2010
Once upon a time, there was a promising young acting talent who went by the name of Owen Wilson.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 19, 2010
Generally has its heart in the right place, there's some good slapstick and you have to admire the patience of filmmakers who are prepared to work with this many animals on one set.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2010
