“The Garfield Movie” Movie Review

Kevin says The Garfield Movie kinda rocks!
If you hate Mondays, love lasagna, and enjoy sleeping in, your spirit animal might just be Garfield.
The new GARFIELD MOVIE ditches live-action and goes full CGI. Based on the beloved comic strip, it tells the story of a fat and lazy cat who goes on an adventure with his long, lost dad.
Let’s face it… Garfield has never been an action thrill ride, so it keeps things cinematic by not focusing on dry commentary about suburban living. Like the many direct-to-video movies released over the years, this film keeps up the story by getting the pets out of the house.
But also like the TV cartoons, this is a watered-down version of the cynical and sarcastic character that stole the spotlight from Heathcliff decades ago.
Chris Pratt is passable as the latest voice of the feline, about the same as Bill Murray (but he doesn’t hold a candle to the OG* Lorenzo Music). In the end, THE GARFIELD MOVIE is fine for the kiddies, but it was exactly what I expected: a pale version of his original 1978 self.
THE GARFIELD MOVIE gets three lasagnas out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
