Pratt is essentially on autopilot in the title role, but the rest of the cast makes up for his shortcomings.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 4, 2024

Garfield as a character lives in a perpetual present defined by his most urgent needs: food, sleep, the tormenting of Odie. Suddenly giving him a backstory is antithetical to the notion of the character itself.

| Original Score: 1 | Sep 4, 2024

"The Garfield Movie" may not be the strongest tale overall, but it’s solid enough to stave away those Monday blues … at least for 100 minutes or so.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 2, 2024

The Garfield Movie features a decent vocal cast and some fine animation, but unfortunately it comes up a little short in the story department with its somewhat ho-hum combined tale of family drama & heist thriller.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 27, 2024

At the very least, unlike Bill Murray, this is a Garfield movie that you won’t entirely regret.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 5, 2024

Is it Tuesday yet?

While simple and predictable, the film offers excellent voice performances by Chris Pratt, Samuel L. Jackson, and others, tying all the humor together for a fun time.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 3, 2024

This version isn’t for anyone who wants to see a real Garfield movie. It’s a sort of split between a C grade family comedy and an F grade adaptation of a well known character.

| Original Score: D | Jul 2, 2024

The complicated plotting doesn't make this origin story any more engaging and leaves us wondering why we need to know why our favourite tabby is a grump, although life is purrfect

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 17, 2024

This film is so bad, it doesn't have a credit crawl at the end of it -- it has a rap sheet.

| Jun 14, 2024

Sure Pratt possesses the right amount of snark in his voice, but to transform one of the world’s most iconically inactive pop-culture characters into an action hero is just plain wrong.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 13, 2024

The Garfield Movie is an animated movie staring Garfield that does not really resemble a Garfield movie.

| Jun 11, 2024

An inoffensive, not entirely memorable, three-and-a-half-star watch...

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 7, 2024

For parents hoping for a bit of nostalgia, you may want to just drop the kids off at the cinema and then sit in the car and fire up the old Garfield cartoons on YouTube.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 7, 2024

If you are a lover of old-school animated comedy then you will quickly fall in love with The Garfield Movie. This is a movie that long term fans of the comic books will enjoy but may receive mixed reactions from those not used to the antics of Garfield.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 7, 2024

The funniest Mission: Impossible episode Rhames has ever been in.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 6, 2024

Unfortunately, this bright, bonkers movie overstays its welcome, and it’s exactly the kind of hyperactive drivel that’s derailing the genre.

| Jun 6, 2024

The only reason I went to see this is because it is being shown in 3D. I did not expect much from this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. I laughed, and the story was compelling enough to hold my attention.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 2, 2024

A movie that has name-brand value yet isn’t faithful to its own source material.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 31, 2024

I guess the baby Garfield origins bit is lovely. But the rest is just noise, and there is little evidence to suggest that anyone involved with this ugly, uninspired and largely unfunny feature is even remotely familiar with Davis’s original comic strip.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 30, 2024
