Here's Marmaduke

Comments: 11

by: Mike Sampson Dec. 17, 2009

Let's be honest: no one under the age of 80 thinks "Marmaduke" is any funny. There are entire websites devoted to pointing out the inanity of Marmaduke's daily adventures in the funny pages. So I don't think anyone is really looking forward to his big screen shenanigans except for kids too young to know better and parents just looking for a 90-minute nap.

But regardless, MARMADUKE is coming. A teaser trailer will be in theaters with ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: THE SQUEAKUEL and USA Today has a look at what would appear to be a poster (sans title and billing block). And if I have to be keeping it real, I'll say that the look of Marmaduke isn't as immediately offensive as, say, GARFIELD or SCOOBY-DOO was. I suppose because Marmaduke was drawn rather straightforward as a Great Dane and....Jesus Christ I'm spending way too much time talking about MARMADUKE. The pic's to the left.

Extra Tidbit: Owen Wilson voices Marmaduke in the film.

Seconding markuskorpela's comments. When the source material sucks so much ass, there's no hope.

i'd rather watch the live action scooby doo 2 eight times. the comic never interested me, just made me wonder why they pay to put it in the news paper in the 1st place.

Doesn't Make Sense

I keep thinking this movie is a joke. How did Marmaduke get a greenlight? My grandparents aren't even excited about it.

Oh Good

Maybe next we can get a Family Circus or B.C. movie.

One of the unfunniest comics ever. So it's going to take a lot of effort from film to be funny. I mean, source material isn't much helping.
