Michael Lynderey: Well, what can you really say - you get a couple of these talking critter pictures per summer, and they usually do pretty well. I'm looking at Garfield numbers right now ($75 million) - probably no more than that.

What I take away from the trailer - it's always nice to see William H. Macy - yes, even in a movie like this - and George Lopez is getting pretty prolific. That's about it.

I was under the impression that Amanda Seyfried was in this movie somewhere, but it looks like she has disappeared.

The picture on Wikipedia for Marmaduke, the comic strip, is pretty cute.

Jason Dean: Beverly Hills Chihuahua vs Marmaduke!

And Sweet November is definitely well, something. I've seen parts of that more times than any male should admit to. Initially I'd claim it was cause Charlize is pretty but most of them just out of sheer horrified entertainment.

Josh Spiegel: That sounds like a great cage match, as long as neither competitor makes it out alive.

Sweet November is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I'm not sure how solid your memory of that film is, but there's a scene where Keanu Reeves has to make a pitch (he's in advertising) to a hot dog company and...well, Don Draper from Mad Men would weep.

Max Braden: I started watching this trailer and I was thinking, "okay, I get it - this isn't my type of movie, but it's for kids, and kids love dogs, and this will entertain them harmlessly. And it doesn't even matter if this holds to the comic strip; the kids who see this probably don't even know what a newspaper is anyway. And who doesn't have a soft spot for animals, really? I actually laughed at Cats & Dogs, and I watched G-Force at a drive-in with a four-year-old girl last summer [relax, we were chaperoned] and it wasn't awful." And then I got to the dancing dogs. Holy dogcrap, Batman, these criminals never learn.

Jim Van Nest: Um, no. Just...no.

Despicable Me – Opens July 9th

David Mumpower: We're four trailers in and I still have only the vaguest understanding of what this movie is going to be. Even so, I am captivated by all of the ads to date. This promises a little bit of everything from The Incredibles to Dr. Horrible to Toy Story (I keep waiting for one of the little yellow guys to say that the claw has chosen) to Austin Powers to The Tick. In fact, this strikes me as the movie Ben Edlund was never allowed to make. I'm as excited about this as anything on the summer schedule save for Iron Man 2.
