Reviewer notes
Not recommendedTrusted family reviewers**A forgettable film, full of problems, and which purges Garfield of the charisma and soul of the original cartoon character.** I have to say that, although I'm not a comic book fan, I've loved Garfield since I was a child, particularly due to his adaptation into children's cartoons, which I saw in my childhood and loved.…
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersLike this movie. I always enjoy the real versions of animated movies. This was done well. Garfield being pissed off at Odie for John bringing him home.
