Jim Davis' bland non-offensive humour is just as entertaining on the big screen as it is in the comics (that is to say not at all).

I've gome to the conclusion that I am the only one that likes garfiled anymore. But I grew up with that Lasagna loving cat. This unfortunately is not the movie that it should have been. It did not capture the spirit of the strip. Bad writing, Jon was just wrong, The vet was even worse. Why was Garfield CGI but not Odie or Nermal? This could have been so much better.

Made me want to beat myself with an aluminum bat.

Garfield loves lasagna and hates mondays, almost as much as I hate this movie.

While some elements of it work quite well, like the design of the CGI Garfield himself along with his voice, there are a lot of elements which are simply totally wrong. The mix of CGI with real life animals in the place of characters like Odie feels cheap, the plotline is weak and feels designed for small children, musical moments feel tacked on, this take on Garfield has a nasty character and it generally lacks any developed humour. It looks like Garfield, but it's not the right cat.

The original comic strip is very, VERY simple, but this movie still manages to get the characters, basic relationships, humor, and tone all wrong. Bill Murray voicing Garfield could have been awesome, but with such lazy filmmaking and a script that's about as funny as a baby's funeral, it's all for nothing. Read "Garfield Minus Garfield" instead.

So awful it's not worth mentioning.

Mixing a CGI Garfield with a human Jon is weird, but mixing a CGI Garfield with a non-CGI Oddie is just wrong. I was also turned off watching our favorite LAZY cat do overly energetic dance moves and running sequences. I'm reminded more of Heathcliff than Garfield.

Terrible. I would rather they just have Bill Murray read to us from the comic strip for an hour and a half.

WTF?????

Awful. Garfield's hilarious in comic form, and only in comic form.

AHHHHH WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN
1	Kavu	3 _1st
Amazing... ly bad. Awful plot, horrible voice acting and unbearably bad humour.

A bad movie based on barely humorous source material.

It is safe to say that some childhood favorites of the 80s and early 90s should be left in their respective decades; Garfield is definitely one of them.

A movie based on a comic strip that barely works 3 panels at a time? Well, it's not even that good.
1	Mr_Solex	30 _8th
Crappy. Crappy comic. Nothing against Bill Murray (loved Groundhog Day), but Lorenzo Music is the only voice of Garfield.
1	muutanet	3 _2nd
More revolting than the original. The voice of Garfield is anemic and animation on all parts terrible, like on live action animals.
1	Luna6ix	65 _23rd
Simply put, it's a defamation of what is an amazing comic and later a great cartoon adaptation. The only thing keeping this up from an utter abyss of horrifying crap is Murray's apt portrayal as the voice of Garfield.

Five points because I also adore lasagna.
1	TheRealJ-Ro	65 _31st
Worked for me because the jokes and the delivery of Garfield hit a note, reminiscent of the series in some ways, but at the same time they could have done so so so much more.

Wow

Ugh. I loved Garfield as a kid, which was back when he didn't cater to kids. This film is irredeemable.

This movie is mostly a vessel for product placement. In one shot, we see Garfield sitting in a chair eating Goldfish crackers, making sure that the label stays clearly visible the whole time. He name-drops various food establishments like Wendy's and Olive Garden when they don't really pertain to anything at all, and for some weird reason, they decided to make Garfield a CGI animal, but none of the other animal characters.

Bill Murray-Lorenzo Music Nexus Point

This fat fawking cat is hilarious!
1	MacSwell	20 _3rd
Dreadful dialogue, substandard effects and a total absence of charm typify this disastrous attempt at turning Jim Davis' classic comic strip into a live-action movie. Bill Murray's voice is the only real positive.

haven't seen it i rated it on reflex after seeing the poster

I only remembered this movie because of an offhand reference in a review of the movie Spawn. That should be all the review you need. Also I hate my life.

this could have worked as camp, if it had just leaned all the way in. this suffers from the same lack of commitment as e.g. Sonic the Hedgehog
