Marmaduke, the world’s most lovable Great Dane,

newspapers in over 20 countries) to big screen
stardom. In this family comedy event, the “Duke” is
living large in Orange County, California. But fitting in
with his new four-legged friends – and a potential
romantic interest -- isn’t always easy for a super-sized
teenage dog.

Move over Scooby Do there is a new dog in town. Marmaduke, the full length feature film based on Brad
Anderson’s widely known comic, may look, and at times act, like the Great Dane we all know and love, but
unfortunately Marmaduke is no Scooby Do. The movie begins with Marmaduke telling the audience about
his life living with his family in Kansas. All of sudden, to his surprise, his owner, Phil Winslow (Lee Pace)
takes a job in California and moves the family to the O.C. Working for an organic dog food company, Phil
goes to the dog park everyday to meet with his boss played by the great William H. Macy. At the dog park
Marmaduke is introduced to “high school” filled with pedigree snobs, mushroom eaters, drama geeks,
and athletes. The film is packed with fart jokes and talking dogs so kids will surely love it; however, the
storyline is so weak that it’s hard for parents to tolerate the one hour and twenty eight minutes. We are
giving it a 2 out of four stars for the KIDS!
