Marmaduke is a 2010 American comedy film based on Brad Anderson's comic strip of the same name.

The film was directed by Tom Dey and stars an ensemble cast consisting of Owen Wilson (as the title character), Lee Pace, Judy Greer, William H. Macy, Steve Coogan, Sam Elliott, Fergie, George Lopez, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Emma Stone, Kiefer Sutherland, and Marlon Wayans.

It centers on a Great Dane named Marmaduke who moves with his family from Kansas to Orange County and faces challengers to fit in with other dogs.

Their owner Phil Winslow works as a marketing director for Bark Organics, a dog food company.

This includes Bosco, a tough and callous Beauceron who had two Miniature Pinscher minions named Thunder and Lightning.

Marmaduke enters a dog surfing contest put together as a promotional stunt by Phil to sway Petco and beats Bosco, who is the reigning dog-surfing champion.

As a result, Phil hires a dog trainer named Anton to help him control Marmaduke, albeit with little success.

While the Winslow family are on Don's boat, Marmaduke throws a party; most residents of the dog park attend, save for Mazie, Giuseppe and Raisin.

The finale then shows Marmaduke, Carlos, Jezebel, Mazie, Giuseppe, Raisin, Thunder, Lightning, and Buster, among others, dancing and singing "What I Like About You", which turns out to be the commercial.

The website's critical consensus reads, "Dull and unfunny, Marmaduke offers family filmgoers little more than another round of talking animals and scatological humor.

[11] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film two out of four stars, and wrote in his review, "The moment I saw Marmaduke's big drooling lips moving, I knew I was in trouble.

"[12] The Radio Times was quite positive, saying "it's all a tad contrived, but young and old alike will get something from it—even if the lip movements take a bit of getting used to.

[14] George Lopez was nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor for his roles in Marmaduke, among others.

[16] The film features Pete Davidson as Marmaduke, J.K. Simmons as Zeus, and David Koechner as Phil Winslow.
