Anyone see Garfield the Movie yet

[Lazy J]

...and that they used shock collars on "Odie" to get him to jump in circles and stuff....

I can't support that.

Can I ask were you heard that?
The American Humane society is one of the films promotional partners , http://www.americanhumane.org/site/...tion_aacm&JServSessionIdr012=pf7g2h0j64.app7a

I don't belive the AHS would be assiocated with a movie that was cruel to the animal talent.

The "shock collar" thing was part of the fictional plot, right? Not part of the actual production (I hope...)

Anyway, I saw this movie last night, and was very pleasantly surprised! I hadn't read many positive reviews, but I was always a big Garfield fan, and I figured I owed it to 10-year-old Andy (who wouldn't forgive me if they made a Garfield movie and I didn't go). Anyway, it was a lot of fun. They really got the tone right, and Bill Murray was great as Garfield. The human cast was also just right. The plot of the movie (without spoiling too much) was basically the same plot as another high-profile kids/family movie written by the same screenwriters--I'll leave it to you to figure out what I mean. In any case, if you like Garfield as a character, I think you'll really like this movie.

I wonder if there is a US Acres short before the movie...

Yeah I agree with AndyWan and JaniceFerSure, Garfield the Movie really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Why not read my full review? It's actually my first movie review for GamerDad.

Maybe next weekend. No matter how good this flick is, it can never stand up to Garfield's Halloween Special. Period... best Halloween special ever.

I've never been so disappointed by a movie as much as when I saw Garfield. What was up with Liz? Jenifer Love Hewitt was the wrong person to play her!! In the strip Liz is really kick-*** and cool; but she's a big girl in the movie. And I don't like seeing Garfield's good side. And Nermal! And...ooh I'm seeing red as I relive it!!

The movie was okay. I got it on DVD for christmas. The parts of Nermal, Arlene, and Liz were totally crappy. They should have made it like the TV specials.

Seriously, I got mega excited when I first saw the trailer [I almost literally screamed the cinema down!!!!!] and I got excited when I saw it was live action- I love when animation is converted to live action (I love Scooby Doo, and the live action Flinstones- I hope the live action Simpsons- if made- are that good) but it was all wrong. Odie wasn't brain dead enough, Jon wasn't dorky enough, Liz didn't have enough attitude, Nermal was too street smart, Arlene was too girlie. Garfield was spot on though; Bill Murray was a great replacement of Lorenzo Music!!
