Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Garfield isn't exactly a dog, but it's not much fun either. Read more
Peter Debruge, Miami Herald: I'm not a Garfield purist or anything, but at the very least, shouldn't this movie be funny? Read more
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: Feels like an 82-minute commercial for Garfield, The Brand rather than cinematic dumb fun. Read more
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times: This film is unlikely to turn newcomers onto the pleasures and subtleties of Davis' work. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: ... a film without energy and without spirit. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Garfield: The Movie has the same slapstick/sophisticate tone as its print counterpart. Read more
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic: A lot like the comic strip, just blanded out beyond belief. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: A toothless, harmless, mostly charmless mongrel movie that mixes live-action actors and animals with a computer-generated version of the comic strip cat that Jim Davis created in 1978. Read more
Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times: Soulless excuse for an entertainment. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: Equally insulting to both the homespun adult fans of the comic strip and the oblivious children for whom tired gags are served up like leftover lasagna. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: It's enough to make you long for the wit and wisdom of Mike Myers' Cat in the Hat. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Though Garfield runs barely 80 minutes, it seems a good hour of it involves chases, furniture and luggage collapsing, and grown-up actors madly mugging. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: The poorly penned plot is derivative even by Hollywood standards. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: Under Peter Hewitt's phoned-in direction, Garfield chugs along like the slow train to Chattanooga. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Garfield may or may not have nine lives. But you may leave the theater feeling you've left at least one of your own behind. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: Bland as old kitty chow and unappealing to the eye. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: You are likely to leave this one feeling as grouchy and put-upon as the title character. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: Perfectly watchable. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: A motion picture so ungainly and awful that only an under-8 child could appreciate it. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I don't know who had the idea that Bill Murray would be the right actor to do Garfield's voice, but the casting is inspired. Read more
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle: Garfield looks like the work of someone who's hardly seen the backside of a camera. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: The film is a veritable conga line of bad decisions whose guiding premise appears to be 'Never mind, kids will watch anything.' Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The movie is far from a cat-astrophe, but it's also nowhere near purr-fect. Read more
Joe Leydon, Variety: Only very small children still easily impressed by interaction of human actors and CGI quadrupeds will be amused by Garfield: The Movie. Read more
Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice: No one can accuse Garfield: The Movie of infidelity to its source: It faithfully conveys the banality of Jim Davis's cartoon. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: There's nothing to recommend about this film except its sheer innocuousness. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: Bland, workmanlike and instantly forgettable. Read more
