It’s Garfield, what’s not to love!?
I love lasagne.

Garfield
I know Garfield is an unlikeable character but Bill Murray makes him even more so. I couldn't stand the dialogue or his delivery. I don't mind Garfield being the singular CG animal, or maybe I do because the only thing I liked was the real animals. They're all so cute, especially Odie. I so badly want a dog. The editing all around was decent. The story stunk, it somehow made 80 mins feel like an entire 3 hours. Early 2000s comedy has never been worse. I might regret saying this but I think it's time for a remake.

In childhood I thought this was the most funny and perfect movie, what the fuck was that opinion.

Rating: 4.8/10 ⭐️
Celebrating Garfield Day with some lazy 2000s nostalgia. Expected a total cringefest, but Murray’s sarcastic delivery honestly makes it charming.
What Worked:
• Murray voicing Garfield is a match made in heaven; his cynical energy carries it for me.
• Breckin Meyer and Jennifer Love Hewitt fit that classic comic strip style perfectly.
• Odie’s dance to “Hey Mama” is super fun and totally pops on screen.
The Friction:
• The train station rescue part near the end really dragged for me.
• The CGI on Garfield honestly looks pretty dated today and pulled me out a bit.
Verdict:
Watch for an easygoing blast of nostalgia. Skip if silly family plots annoy you.
