Movie Review by AJ
April 14th, 2006

I'm a big fan of Jim Davis' Garfield comic strips. I think that they're even better and funnier than Charles Schultz's classic Peanuts strips. Bill Murray is also my favorite actor, so I was elated to hear that he would be voicing Garfield. Unfortunately, apart from Murray's wry, witty voice-over that perfectly captures the spirit of the flabby tabby, the film is like a nightmarish Garfield Bizarro World that I sincerely hope Davis wasn't approving of. Mixing the CGI Garfield with live-action animals was a doomed concept from the start, and the story and the screenplay are terribly bland. The only reason one should think twice before putting this cat to sleep is good ol' Bill Murray's energetic and humorous voice-over.
