Garfield
the Movie
IN THEATRES: JUNE 11, 2004 The long-running, popular comic strip about the
fat and lazy cat named Garfield comes to life with this live-action Hollywood
comedy. Based on characters created by Jim Davis, the film tells the story of
this supremely spoiled pet, who wants the affection of everyone around him, only
he wants it on his own terms. Trouble arises one day when, under the influence
of the beautiful veterinarian Liz (Jennifer Love
Hewitt), Garfield's owner Jon (Breckin
Meyer) stuns him by bringing home a cuddly dog, Odie. Jealous at the attention
Odie is receiving, Garfield locks Odie out of the house. Odie runs away and when
he's kidnapped by the evil television personality Happy Chapman (Stephen
Tobolowsky), Garfield realizes his mistake, and embarks on a brave mission to
rescue his new housemate. Bill Murray is a perfect choice to provide the
loveable voice behind the computer-animated cat. Director Peter Hewitt keeps the
story moving along at a clipped pace, which will ensure that children's
attention spans won't be tested. Breezy and charming, GARFIELD is a nostalgic
return to the past for older viewers who grew up with the fuzzy feline, and an
engaging introduction for younger audiences who are meeting him for the very
first time. gar field
