You stopped short of the worst two parts!
There must just be a Plinko game inside the room at Fox where they greenlight movies. There doesn't seem to be any other logic. And of course, everyone fucking went to see Avatar, so now Fox has $2.5 billion dollars to make as many Marmadukes and Alvins and Space Chimps and Meet Daves and All About Steves as they went to. I can't wait for Alvin and the Space Chimpmunks Meet Dave and Marmaduke: All About Steve 2, coming in 2017.

"Children's movie" shouldn't be synonymous with "crap." A great film is a great film regardless of who the target audience is, and a shit fest is a shit fest.

Check it out -- a Chihuahua with a Mexican accent. That's HILARIOUS!
If we're lucky, this one will end the same way as the last Owen Wilson dog movie.

Sure you did. You were 5 and you just enjoyed the hell out of Driving Miss Daisy, right? Bullshit!
I'm not talking about 'kids' like when a grumpy old dude is talking about teenagers. There's nothing wrong with small kids watching a silly movie about a talking dog. The R rated stuff can wait till they are 12.

The problem with this movie isn't really that talking dog or the dancing dogs (surprising as that is), it is just that the trailer makes it seem like they didn't want to do anything out of the ordinary. I'm not saying a talking dog needs to go into deep social commentary, but why does it need to treat the audience like ADD idiots? Pixar movies are hugely popular, and they don't treat the audience like fools.
