The Take
Marmaduke earns an 89 slop score as pure committee CGI dog slop that treats kids like NPCs. Owen Wilson phones in the voice work while the plot recycles every tired family movie beat without an original thought.
The dog looks like a rejected PS2 asset and the whole thing screams focus-grouped mediocrity from start to finish.
The Verdict
Buy the skip. Marmaduke is the definition of disposable 2010 family slop with nothing to recommend beyond its runtime. Ancestors would file a restraining order against the screen.
Exact Slop Score: 89.
