Amazon.co.uk Review
Marmaduke is a lighthearted comedy based on the comic strip by Brad Anderson. When Phil gets a job with an organic pet food company in California, he moves his family, including his huge Great Dane Marmaduke and Balinese cat Carlos, from their home in Kansas in order to pursue his new job opportunity, but he's so wrapped up in his new job that he doesn't really take time to listen to his wife and kids and consider their needs. Marmaduke knows exactly what's going on, but he can't get Phil to listen, and besides, he's got his own problems trying to fit in at the local dog park. Phil and Marmaduke each struggle to impress their peers and reinvent themselves in the image of what they think others want them to be, but they only wind up hurting themselves and their family. Marmaduke is full of classic, if overused comic moments--the oversized dog passing gas while lying on Phil and Debbie's bed, Marmaduke and his dog friends trashing the house at an out-of-control dog party, and a crazy dog-surfing scene--but the gags manage to not completely overwhelm the plot, as happened in Furry Vengeance, and the film leaves viewers with an important message about the value of family, being true to oneself, and taking time to really listen to those you love. Marmaduke could almost be classified as Marley and Me light: it combines silly gags with a serious message like Marley and Me, but it lacks a high level of emotional investment. Voice talent includes Owen Wilson, George Lopez, Fergie, Emma Stone, and Kiefer Sutherland. Marmaduke isn't a great film, but the kids will be entertained by it and most adults will find it palatable enough. (Rated PG for some rude humour and language, but appropriate for most ages 7 and older.)--Tami Horiuchi

But fitting in with his new four-legged friends--and a potential romantic interest--isn’t always easy for a super-sized teenage dog.

Before seeing this with my two young daughters I read a scathing review that attacked the film's inherent cheesiness, borrowing from other family films, and juvenile humour. Apart from the ubiquitous fart jokes the latter wasn't really correct, whilst the movie's lack of originality and desire to impart a well-worn moral message (family should come before all else), weren't really a surprise to me as this is a family comedy after all!
The voices were great - especially Owen Wilson as the titular Great Dane - and with quality cameos from William H Macy and (albeit extremely briefly) David Walliams, this is simply a fun kids' film that won't drive parents mad.

I really enjoyed this 'talking dog' movie. It has some very funny scenes and while the story is fairly predictable it does not spoil the enjoyment of this film. If you are a dog lover then you will definitely want to buy or rent this, it is also a fantastic family film. The voices of the dogs are well dubbed and it does look as though the dogs are talking.

Absolutely loved this film - first watched it on SKY and then had to buy the DVD so that I could watch it over and over again. I've watched the DVD at least 3 times and still pick-up little funnies that I had previously missed. Would strongly recommend if you are a doggie person.
