This is a live-action film of Brad Anderson's comic strip of Marmaduke.It is directed by Tom Dey whose credits include Shanghai Noon and Failure to Launch.
This follows the adventures of the Winslow family and their pets Carlos (the Balinese cat) and Marmaduke (the great dane). The family move to California from Kansas for Phil's job. Marmaduke is excited and with the help of Carlos he pretends to be a tough dog and win a fight with Carlos. This makes Marmaduke 'king of the dogs' but all good things must come to an end and Marmaduke must come to accept that living a lie has its own consequences.
Unfortunately this was a dog-aweful comedy that the kids loved but I could take it or leave it (mostly leave it!) Owen Wilson I am not a big fan of anyway and he appeared lacklustre in this film. The cat Carlos was funny but maybe that's my own fault coming from a cat-loving household.
I could only find it in my heart to give it two stars out of five.
