I Bet Jim Carrey Plays Odie

It's relatively common knowledge among everyone outside of the nation's secretarial pools that Garfield creator Jim Davis ran out of ideas some time around 1988. He's been rehashing the same tired old schtick for the past 16 years, and shows no signs of slowing down. So it stands to reason that the folks who brought you such derivative garbage as Dr. Doolittle 2, Wing Commander, and Home Alone 3 would feel a certain kinship to Mr. Davis. Inspirational bankruptcy loves company, so PAWS, Inc. and Twentieth Century Fox have conspired to bring about Garfield the Movie.

This movie is guaranteed to be a hit among people who live with 12 or more cats. Pathetic, middle-aged single women who decorate their cubicles with Cathy cartoons will come out in droves. It should play well among kids who are a little too slow for the sophisticated humor of Shrek 2.

I'm not even going to dignify this movie with a beer movie rating. There's no such thing as getting drunk enough to find cat humor funny if you're not a cat humor person to begin with. I think this movie deserves a Zima rating, or possibly a Mike's Hard Lemonade rating. How many hard ciders would it take to convince a TJ Maxx cashier from Little Rock that this is the funniest movie she's ever seen? I look forward to the insightful analyses of my readers.

"Garfield The Movie" is wonderful with perfect 3D graphic. Garfield in the movie is really a cool and smart cat who can dance admirably. When he went to the tall building to saved the dog Odie and went down, it was very cool! But it was so dangerous when he dropped down from the tall building.
The story line is superb and jokey, and the actress is very beautiful and cute. It was very incredible for Jon that the girl could love him, I also have the same feeling and the same experience with Jon.
