DVD Reviews of Garfield - The Movie
DVD Review: dvd is not playable
Summary: 1 Stars
The product was falsely advertised by the seller. The seller has not responded to my request for a replacement dvd. I will never buy from this seller again. DVD Review: What a dog
Summary: 1 Stars
About the only thing that can be said for this dog of a movie is that it's better than the comic strip. And that ain't sayin' much. For those who don't know already, it's been years since Jim Davis, the original creator of the character, has penned the strip. Twenty five years ago, this strip was often hilarious. Today, the strip shows all the signs of pathetic design by committee. About as unfunny as it gets. The movie is marginally -- only marginally -- better.DVD Review: A good story
Summary: 4 Stars
The weird CGI cat did throw this film off just a tad but over all I thought that they captured the spirit of Garfield.DVD Review: Garfield, the Movie- Follow Along DVD Review
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic way to teach your child to read! This edition, the Follow Along edition, of Garfield, the Movie, has special "kid friendly" colorful captions. These captions follow the movie's dialogue exactly. Kids can read the words as they watch the movie. Unlike traditional captions, these captions are in bright colors and are easier to read.
The Follow Along edition contains the complete, standard version of Garfield, the Movie, but also has this extra caption feature. If you prefer to watch the standard version, you can merely turn off this captioning feature. Consequently, this DVD is great for every member of the family. The captions on the DVD are available in English and Spanish. A great value and a great learning tool for every member of the family.
DVD Review: Garfield is Okay
Summary: 3 Stars
It is a decent little movie. I think kids would like it, although I don't know if you can really appreciate the movie unless you are familiar with the comic. The basic premise is that Garfield lives with Jon and he is a fat lazy cat, no surprise. Jon has been taking Garfield to the vat a lot so he can flirt with the veterinarian, Liz (played by the ALWAYS gorgeous Jennifer Love Hewitt). Liz needs to find a home to a less than intelligent dog, Odie. Garfield gets very jealous of Odie and eventually locks Odie out. Well, Odie runs away and Garfield feels bad. Liz & John (who of course are developing a relationship) go out searching for the two animals. All the while, Garfield knows who has kidnapped Odie (a deranged pet performer who saw Odie dance at a dog show) is chasing after Odie. The chase ends up at the train station and a cat at the controls. Good, clean fun.
Overall, as I said, a good flick. I don't know that I would buy it or see it again, but I was glad to rent it. The chase story reminded me a lot of Toy Story 2, but that is okay. If you liked the comic, I think you will like the movie. The most interesting thing is that we learn that Jon can not hear Garfield. I always wondered this, but Garfield says it very clearly early on in the movie.
Description of Garfield - The Movie
You'll scamper through tons of games like the all-new Garfield Comic Creator and Find Odie Maze Game, catch 17 hilarious deleted scenes, take in "Pick of the Litter," a documentary about bringing Garfield to life, go behind-the-scenes of Garfield And Friends, have your very own copy of the Baha Men music video "HOLLA," ? and much more! So grab a pan of lasagna, enjoy the full-length Garfield movie, and get ready for hours of family fun with Garfield!Every now and then, the CGI effects in Garfield: The Movie are less than perfect--which makes you realize how astonishingly seamless the rest of the effects are. When Garfield's owner, Jon (Breckin Meyer, Clueless), agrees to take in a homeless dog so as to flirt with a sexy veterinarian (Jennifer Love Hewitt, I Know What You Did Last Summer), Garfield does his best to oust the dog from the house. But when a greedy television performer (Stephen Tobolowsky, Bossa Nova) 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 (Rushmore, Ghostbusters), 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
