Garfield Gets Real (2007)

GARFIELD!!!

This is my #2 movie of the year (next to Iron Man). The movie is nothing but die hard laughs. You see some new characters in this film. They are the Stegmans, Billy Bear, and Randy Rabbit. They also have Nermal and Arliene. The only character missing is Liz (Jon's love interest). I wonder who do Nermal and Arliene live with? I wonder if they're making a sequel or not but still a hillarious movie. October 5, 2008

Garfield gets real

This DVD is great. My daughter can't get enough of it. She really enjoys the whole show, she even makes me take the comic out of the paper so she can read it & laugh. September 16, 2008

Wonderful Animation - and it is also Fun and Entertaining

Running time: 1 hour and 15 minutes

The animation is nice and so different. Looks like a combination of hand drawn and CGI, it's just wonderful. It made all the characters more interesting and even that Garfield is still the familiar sarcastic and sometimes annoying feline, he is cute and more adorable.

Just like other Garfield movies, the humor may be appreciated more by older kids. The story started with Garfield being a celebrity but was so tired of his everyday life and work as a repeated pattern. For some strange twist of fate, Garfield and Odie got sucked into the real world from the comic world by a mysterious hole behind the theater screen. No, the real world is not with real life actors. It is still animation just a little more 3D with more rounded figures. Garfield now have a chance to experience what's out there, is this what he's looking for? Is this the kind of change he needs for a better and more exciting life?

Straight to DVD but it is worth having. Light hearted and fun viewing. My son have watched it a couple of times and still don't mind watching it again. It is now part of our road trip collection.

This movie was also translated to a video game for the Wii. September 3, 2008

Lame is putting it mildly

I am a fan of the Garfield movies and the cartoons, but this movie was difficult to watch. It was slow moving, and the plot was not intriguing at all. Maybe little kids will like it, but I recommend sparing yourself this waste and buying the season sets of Garfield and Friends and the Garfield holiday dvd. July 24, 2008

hmmmm... a little slow in pace

Other than missing the voice talents of Lorenzo Music or even Bill Murray, this story just seemed slow. My daughter loves Garfield, but she couldn't even get into this. While it had it's moments, it just seemed "sleepy". I think Garfield's voice (Frank Welker, who is usually really good) just seemed to try to imitate Music's voice, but just couldn't do it justice.

If they do more of these CGI movies, I hope they are more entertaining, and have a lot more energy. July 6, 2008
