Jackson) -- Garfield and his canine friend Odie are forced from their perfectly pampered life into joining Vic in a hilarious, high-stakes heist.

Critics Consensus

The Garfield Movie rolls along at a zany enough clip to be diverting for kids, but this animated adventure doesn't much resemble Jim Davis' iconically grumpy creation.

The Nightly (AU)

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.

Rated: 2/5

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

Hyperkinetic stuff, lots of famous voice stars, almost no relationship to the original source... it just let me thinking of Bill Murray.

The Age (Australia)

As [Garfield] used to say, “Big fat hairy deal”. What more is there to add?

Rated: 1.5/5

The benefits of being famous have fallen so far – you do five years of SNL, now you get to be in The Garfield Movie.

Radio Times

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

Rated: 3/5

The Wee Review

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.
