Customer Reviews of Garfield - The Movie
GARFIELD HAS LEFT THE CUL-DE-SAC! Fans of the long-running comic strip get to see their favorite fat cat come to bold life in this pleasant family film featuring Bill Murray as the voice of the one-and-only Garfield. The story: Garfield's owner (um, primary caregiver--sorry Garfield), love-struck Jon Arbuckle, takes his favorite feline to the sexy local vet Liz for yet another unnecessary check-up so he can strike out one more time. But Garfield's easy life as the apple of Jon's eye is about to get unceremoniously upended--when Liz asks Jon to adopt a homeless dog named Odie, the lovestruck guy just can't turn her down, much to Garfield's chagrin. Garfield goes out of his way to roll out the unwelcome wagon, but somehow Odie just never gets the hint. But if Garfield doesn't want Odie a local TV personality does, and when Happy Chapman kidnaps the hapless canine Garfield surprises everyone--most of all himself--by setting out to rescue him.
Granted, this is not high drama, but it is a harmless, fun picture that is particularly good for kids and which adult fans of the classic strip should enjoy as well. There's nothing even remotely offensive in the whole movie, with some nice messages about family and friendship to boot. Murray's laconic, self-indulgent inflections are perfect for the narcissistic Garfield, and it's easy to imagine most of his lines coming right from the comic. Breckin Meyer does a good job as the rather backward Jon, and Jennifer Love Hewitt is highly appealing as the seemingly unattainable object of his affections. The only film element I question is the decision to make Garfield the only animated character in the whole cast. It would've probably been better to either make all the animals animated or, better yet, use a real cat for Garfield. As it is, Garfield certainly stands out--but maybe too much. But after all, isn't that how Garfield himself would want it? No, "Garfield: The Movie" is not the best thing since "Macbeth" and it won't win any Academy Awards, but it is positive cinematic fun the whole family can watch together--and that makes it a winner in my book.
Garfield the movie.
I saw this movie. I like it. It's funny, cute. Good movie.
Why listen to the critics? This movie's great!
Entertainment Weekly said Garfield was a cloddish, unfunny dud.
For all I care, they can wear dunce caps on their heads (ha ha.)
I personally like Garfield, especially the part I like to call, "cat meets gravity, cat hits truck window." Garfield has tyke-friendly jokes, but, WHO CARES? Garfield is a fun movie that I would recommend to all fans. So, Garfield fans should just push the critics aside, and enjoy Garfield.
