* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Max may not have been very nice to Duke on first impression, but Duke is still pretty hostile to Max, kicking him out of his own bed and eating his food just to spite him. Granted, Max did try to convince Katie to get rid of Duke soon after meeting him, which is what provokes Duke's bad behaviour in the first place, but he could've tried to prove they could get along, rather than give Max more reason to get rid of him. Not helping is when they [[spoiler: discover what happened to Duke's old owner,]] he suddenly gets angry at Max, believing he was trying to get rid of him again and as if what happened was somehow his fault.

* SoOkayItsAverage: Those who don't hate the film have generally agreed that, while the animation is great and there are a few cute scenes, it's an otherwise predictable, toothless plot with uninspired jokes.
