i saw it today.i think Jennifer Love Hewitt must have got breast reduction surgery. what was once a D is now suddenly a B. (sorry but its true,just compare “i know what you did last summer” to this movie"
besides that it was an alright movie.Bill Murry as the voice of Garfield was perfect.
Useless fact:
Garfield’s birthday is this Saturday (June 19). How do I know this? It’s the same day as mine!
I wasn’t planning on seeing the movie, but maybe I’ll check it out.

Garfield is a terrible movie seen at the urging of my daughter. Unlike many children’s movies it offers nothing for adults in the way of clever cultural or retro references. It is fine for children, just bring a book if you do see it. Whether you cringe at the Garfield dance scenes or wonder at love interest Jennifer Love Hewitt’s penchant for wearing the same style exceedingly tight and exceeding short skirt whether she is at work as a veterinarian, on a fancy date, or just out for a Sunday drive, this is a must miss movie. Unless, of course, you’re a kid. 1/2 stars out of 5 for convincing the excellent Alan Cumming to provide the voice of Sir Roland, aka Persnickity, the cat. (Emma would probably give it 3 1/2).
I want to go and see Garfield the movie just because its garfield 
lol my side hurts from laughing at ur funny dragon thing Jagur

Wasn’t Bill Murray the original Garfields voice or do I not know what I’m talking about.

Bill Murray does supply the voice of Garfield. But that no more saves this movie than would Scarlett Johansson save the Bush administration were she The First Lady.

Lorenzo Music was the original voice of Garfield, such as in the show “Garfield and Friends.” However, he died last year. I remember when he died there was a thing about him on the Garfield website.

Edit: Is Garfield’s girlfriend, Arlene, in the movie? Are any of the scenes taken from the comic strips?
Edit (again): Is Nermal in the movie? How about his teddy bear, Pooky?
I don’t think so. I don’t know (I don’t read the strip very often.)
Yes and yes.

yeah but they made nermal a siamese cat,which he isnt!
you missed one JJ,remember back in the 80’s when everyones mom had a Garfield suction cup thing in there back window? they made referance to that when in the movie he was in the back of the truck and the driver hit the brakes suddenly.
Dragon thing???
Unicycleboy needs to get introduced to the 400’ tall, guy-in-a-suit, classic movie monster Godzilla!
My wife went and saw Garfield over the weekend with several of our nephews. I elected to stay home. She thought it was cute but I think I’d like it about as much as JJuggle did…
I’ll give you half on that one. I noted it, but didn’t think of it as either retro or a cultural reference. I thought it was lame and much more recently that people still had Garfield suction-cup thingies on their cars.

John i would rather it be a Dragon that godzilla 
though a 400’ person in a suit would be cool also.

Only if you have lots of miniature buildings and powerlines to walk through, and cars, trains and military vehicles to pick up and munch on!
I bet Lyman won’t be in it. He originally was the one to bring odie into Garfield’s house hold. I read in th reviews it’s someone else. ohhhh well.
Re: Garfield the Movie
Wait Jennifer Love Hewitt? Was she Laura Croft in Tombraider?
I don’t know much about women in Hollywood. Or at all.
Re: Re: Garfield the Movie
That was Angelina Jolie. The closest to action Jennifer Love Hewitt got was The Tuxedo with Jackie Chan.
Re: Re: Re: Garfield the Movie
I don’t think Jackie Chan’s new movie will be good. I’m usually a big fan of his movies but “Around The World In 80 Dys” didn’t look good in the comercials.
The tuxedo rocked though.
