GIVEAWAY! Marmaduke on DVD

To say my kids love the Marmaduke movie is an understatement.  Even after watching it about twenty times beforehand, Petunia chose Marmaduke for screening at her 10th birthday sleepover.  When I asked her why she loved the movie so much, she said, "Because I love dogs, but I love Marmaduke because he does some things wrong but in the end is really, really good.  If I were a dog, that's the kind of friend I'd want.  Or more like, as a human, I wish more of my friends were like Marmaduke.  Does that make sense?"  After watching the movie, I think it does make sense -- and it's a great family film.  Both the huge dog and his family go through some struggles, but, at the end of the day, everyone lands in a place they (and you) can feel good about.  It's an all-around nice, hopeful tale, appropriate for everyone in the family.

To enter to win a copy of Marmaduke, please leave a comment below; earn a bonus entry by mentioning your favorite TV or movie dog.  Two winners will be chosen on Monday, October 18, at 9 p.m. PDT.

P.S. I saw Marmaduke himself at BlogHer10, and he is huge -- and adorable.  And unlike many of today's film stars, he followed his handler's instructions and behaved himself. 

Disclaimer: My family received a free copy of "Marmaduke" from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.  I did not commit to reviewing this movie positively and have not been compensated otherwise for this review.  I'm grateful to Fox for providing me the opportunity to give movies away to my readers -- thanks!

My other giveaways this month will be Glee: Season One and Modern Family: Season One.

Me! Me!

I love your giveaways.

But I'm gonna cut someone if they try to get in front of me for the Glee giveaway...

:)

[Cheryl W.]

Thanks for the opportunity to enter. My daughter wanted to see this it came out in theaters. We still have yet to see it. I think she would love it. She is only 6 and it doesn't take much to get her giggling.

[Cheryl W.]

Hmm, my favorite dog movie has to be the Scooby Doo 1 movie. I am such a big kid at heart and love that movie!

[Melissa]

My boys would love this. My favorite TV dog is Santa's Little Helper from the Simpsons.

My grandson LOVES Marmaduke!

[Juju]

Maybe tomorrow I'll want to settle down.... The littlest hobo has to be the best TV dog. Made me cry every Saturday, sniff : )

[Jacqueline Richardson]

Would be a great addition to any family movie collection. Our favorite dog in a movie was Skip, from "My Dog Skip".

[Rox]

Congratulations to Cheryl W. and to Melissa for winning copies of Marmaduke! My dog herself picked your names out of a bowl. (Sometimes we have to mix up how we do these drawings around here!) I'll contact you for your addresses right away; the DVDs will be shipped straight from Fox. Thanks to all who entered!

And BTW ... Lassie is my all-time favorite.

[Ron Oliver]

My grand daughter would love this movie ...oh okay! and so would me and my wife. But I am probably too late in entering this one. Right? Anyways, your new site ROCKS! Rox. :-)

[Cheryl W.]

I just wanted to say thank you for the giveaway and thanks to Fox Home Entertainment for sponsoring the movie. I truly appreciate it. Have a great day!

[Rox]

Thanks Cheryl! Enjoy!

it would take a week to fix, which meant two, and my father was all set to just give up and go back home and wait for my moethr to return from her first vacation in three years.Since I was his interim caregiver I wasn't too happy at the thought of leaving him alone. He was on a huge cocktail of Meds, and had to get bloodwork taken every week, and is not known for taking care of himself(Hence the liver transplant).So I suggested we rent a car and continue our road trip, but would just see the South instead. That way we could still have our father/son bonding moment, and my moethr could still have her worry-free vacation.So for two weeks we drove through Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, all the usual suspects.I've never spent much time in the South. I was born and raised in Europe, move here by myself when I was sixteen to go to school. I'd always wanted to live in America, and was kind of disappointed when I did to find out how racist it can still be.I'm now your typical West Coast Atheist Leftie, but I'm not Bill Maher smug about it and now I'm driving around the South. In January, while the healthcare debate rages on in the media. My dad likes NPR, but every time he'd touch the radio dial, we'd always have to cycle through stations full of racist cockgobbling crackers bitching about how the Black Man in the White House was going to lead us all into a socialist hell. Huge Confederate flags line the highways, Obama Hitler posters everywhere. I'm grinding my molars to nubs.Like a lot of his generation, my father is fascinated by war, and America's involvement in it. So we went to a lot of Museums, Civil War battlefields, etc. You know how the South prides itself on its' military involvement. All I could think of was the George Carlin quote about how he doesn't trust Southerners because they respect authority so absolutely. I believe he referred to them as A bunch of Cop-Lovers and Soldier-Sniffers .So we wind up in Richmond, Virginia, and my dad wants to go see the Museum of the Confederacy. Through gritted teeth I mention how I'm not sure how I feel about giving these Klan creeps my cash, but my father insists.So on January 17th we walk over to the museum, which is right next door to Jefferson Davis' home, AKA The Confederate White House, and go in.Cannons line the entrance, huge Confederate States flags hang from the ceiling, and the man taking our tickets has a full-on Civil War General beard, even though he's probably in his early twenties.With great regret in his voice he tells us in his soft Southern drawl how while the museum is open today, I'm afraid Jefferson Davis' home is closed for a federal holiday. He looks at us mournfully with sad doe eyes and continues, lower lip a-tremblin': You see, it's Martin Luther King Jr. Day . And I just lost it. I just started laughing in his stupid bearded fucking face, the past two week's tension booming out of my mouth, echoing around the cavernous hall of the museum.I realize how bad this looks and try to stop it, but that only makes it worse. A security guard comes out to see what the commotion is, and when I see his wannabe SWAT team black kevlar uniform, it just makes me laugh even harder. I turn away to try and grasp some small semblance of composure, and see the only the Lynyrd Skynyrd T-shirt of the man standing in line behind us, which sets off a fresh jag. Tears are beginning to stream down my face, I can't breathe I'm laughing so hard, oh god, am I having a heart attack?But it eventually goes away, slowly. Silence fills the great hall. I mumble some false apology and we purchase our tickets.In the year since then, I've watched this country continue to listen to these fucktards as though they deserve a seat at the grown-up's table. I've watched the Tea Partiers insistence that we return to the original interpretation of the Constitution, which means for them that Obama is only worth only three-fifths of that of a white president.I've watched all this and more.And whenever I start to get depressed or angry, I think of that moment, and I start to laugh all over again.So keep living the dream, Hee-Haw. We've got a black president, the Confederate White House is closed on MLK Jr. Day, and your grandchildren will probably be mulatto. And gay. And hopefully Atheist.And until that day happens, you can Suck It. And Suck It Hard.
