Simply Perfect

hyped garbage

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I saw this movie when I was 10 and I really found it funny. If you are a kid then you would love it but if you are an adult maybe not so much. But in all fairness, I like this movie I have seen it like 10 times as a kid. Even though the one thing I am not really a fan of is Garfield and Erleen/Eileen (sorry if I am getting the name wrong) relationship.

I could not stand this movie. It is easily the worst Garfield movie of all time. I wouldn't have even starred it, if not for Garfield. I absolutely hated the theme, the "surprise" was totally uncalled for, and the animation was worse than even "Gets Real". I won't reveal what the surprise was, but let's just say it's something that a 3-year-old would think of.My 8-year-old sister hated Fun Fest. She said it missed what Garfield was all about, and she's the target audience! And since I, a teenager, dared to watch it, I have much more to say.Where's the philosophy of being lazy? Gone. In its place is a dumb talent show. Garfield in love with Arlene? The buck-toothed beauty always had a love-hate relationship with the fat cat. Although I enjoyed finally seeing a real female lead in Garfield, she was a far cry from the sarcastic and smart Arlene-in fact, more like Penelope from "Garfield 'n Friends", also a love interest of Garfield's.Garfield competing in a talent show? Garfield thinking he's not funny enough and going on a mystical journey to find "funny water"? Ramon?! Definitely something for a true Garfield fan to skip, unless you're REALLY devoted. It departs too far from what Garfield is really about, and it may shake your belief in PAWS. And if you're still planning to watch Pet Force, the upcoming special, I ask you to go to your local Blockbuster and check out "Here Comes Garfield". Still going to watch it now? Then you must be like me-really bored and looking for something to pass the time while the library gets your latest copies of MST3000.

Okay, I LOVE the Grfield comics. I even like the old TV shows, but this...it's another story. It doesn't seem like Garfield at all! One thing that bugs me the most is that Garfield's mouth moves. It's a little thing, but still!! I'm sorry but I wasted money on this. The new style of animation doesn't seem right for Gsrfield and there seemed to be no humor at all. On the good side, at least my four year old cousin was entertained. Jim Davis should just stick to comic strips. I think there was another Garfield movie made in this style and it didn't do so well either. It MIGHT keep four year olds happy, but anyone who wants to see a decent movie go look somewhere else.

I must say I am a fan of Garfield comics. I also enjoyed the Garfield and Friends Saturday morning cartoon..... This movie has none of the charm.Here's the problem. Garfields sarcastic, snide comments and attitude are not fitting for a children's movie. The dialog and environments don't match at all. In one minute of video, they have bubble blowing cars and brightly colored scenery while Garfield tells his friend that he "sucks".... I don't teach my kids to talk that way at the age that this movie is marketed towards. What were they thinking? The new imagining of Garfield stinks, every movie has bombed and so is this stinking pile of mean and unfunny dialog, with tacky scenery and character design. Just 90 minutes of humiliation towards the characters.Skip this movie...... And please, don't let your young kids watch either...Zero laughs....Horrid.....Only one good point... the CG is clean (but isn't anything amazing). I'm trying to retain a balanced review.
