Amazon.co.uk Review
Every now and then, the CGI effects in Garfield: The Movie are less than perfect--which makes you realize of how astonishingly seamless the rest of the effects are. When Garfield's owner Jon (Breckin Meyer) agrees to take in a homeless dog so as to flirt with a sexy veterinarian (Jennifer Love Hewitt), Garfield does his best to oust the dog from the house. But when a greedy television performer (Stephen Tobolowsky) kidnaps the mutt for his own nefarious purposes, Garfield sets out on a rescue mission. Garfield is a terrible movie, yet there's something weirdly compelling in its awfulness. Bill Murray, who voices the fat cat, has mastered a comic style that wallows fondly in ridiculousness. Perhaps, seduced by the siren call of Murray's voice, the audience can only marvel at the sublime junk of our culture. --Bret Fetzer

 quite funny November 22, 2008
Ms. F. I. Macdonald (uk)
it wasn't a bad attempt, but nor was it a fantastic one. It kept me amused suitably for a short time, and Bill Murray was funny as the voice of Garfield. Not a film for someone that wants to think a lot.
 Great Entertainment August 16, 2008
C. G. Clements
A friend at work said I should watch this, it was great entertainment and lots of fun. My Mother watched it with me and loved it so much she even waited till the end of the DVD before she went to the toilet in case she missed anything: a record for her. Really good entertainment and recommended.
Purrfection. March 7, 2008
Garry Williams (London (Enfield))
I love Garfield. I grew up with Garfield. I bought the comic books, I bought the t-shirts, I even bought the car suction puppets, which at the age of ten probably wasn't the wisest of investments. But Garfield was a big part of my childhood and when I heard that Hollywood were about to make a live action feature starring my favourite lasagne loving cat, well, a shiver ran down my spine. The scathing reviews didn't help much either.
But here it is anyway and I'm relieved to comfirm I kinda enjoyed it. Garfield gives a finely balanced performance as himself, eating up the screen with his multi layered performance which reeks purrfection on so many levels. Odie just about wins you over, though his performance is less method, more crowd pleasing. I can't help but wonder if his attempts to appeal to the masses hampered his performance somewhat. Not quite dumb enough and not quite tall enough. Sad to say but Nermal just plain grates, and what's with the dodgy accent! As for Pooky, well he shines in an understated and quite exquisite performance, stealing every scene he appears in. The bear deserves an Oscar nomination at least.
The human actors do their best to entertain but to be quite honest, i couldn't care less about any of their plights. This is Garfields movie. My childhood memories are intact. I'm just glad the whole experience hasn't affected me in any way.
Garfield the Movie (Single Disc Edition) DVD (Region 2) Review June 29, 2007

Garfield is a character we've all grown up with and encountered at some point in our lives. I guess it's hard for people to change their opinions of the old Garfield to the newly rendered one. Of course as time goes by, a character has to adapt to the new generation. Whilst the acting is somewhat to be desired, critics must remember this is a children's film intended to be watched by a family unit.
In my opinion, it was one of the best films of the year. You can't help but laugh at the quirky feline who delves into your heart and funny bone with a passion! I've always looked at my own cat, Pudsey, as a real-life Garfiled and now this theory has been met with CGI! Bill Murray portrays Garfield's voice wonderfully! And Breckin Meyer plays a well-interpreted Jon (though I'm sure a number would disagree). Jennifer Love Hewitt adds that much needed sparkle to the film that increases the plot's allure to the viewer. Having a CGI character next to real-life animals didn't bother me in the slightest. What we have is a great character for the kids of today - this is a Garfield our kids can grow up with, just as we grew up with the lovable cartoon!
I found the film a little hard to get into at the beginning, but give it a chance, and you will be enthralled at the never-ending antics of Garfield and the world he lives in. You will be easily able to empathise with him (probably a lot more than the other characters) and in the end you won't want the film to end. If there's any hype about the film it's that it's too short at 76 minutes approximately.
On this single disc edition, there are a number of special features included. The film itself is in widescreen, and you can watch with an audio commentary by the directors. There's also a chance to watch at multi-angles which is good if you're technically that way inclined to said feature. There are also some hilarious deleted scenes which I'm sorry to see did not make the final cut, including some very funny dance sequences. A featurette on the making of Garfield's character, an inside look to the upcoming film 'Robots' and a short film about Scrat from 'Ice Age' entitled 'Gone Nutty' (very very funny believe me) make this particular DVD an extremely worthwhile buy. Audiences of all audiences will not be disappointed. Plus it's got quite a groovy soundtrack to fit the mood of the film. Enjoy the lovable cat we all grew up with in his new environmnet and form! He'll make you want to come back for more and more and it's one of the best feelings in this world.
