The Garfield Movie: A Refreshing Take on the Beloved Feline

The latest animated take on the adventures of the plus-sized ginger sourpuss, Garfield, is a refreshing step up from the lazy, lasagne-based humour of the live(ish) action versions. Directed by Mark Dindal (The Emperor’s New Groove) and co-written by David Reynolds (Finding Nemo), Paul A Kaplan, and Mark Torgove, this feline adventure combines a frantic, Looney Tunes energy with some genuinely sharp comedy.

The lovable, lazy cat

Garfield (voiced by Chris Pratt) is reunited with his estranged father Vic (Samuel L Jackson) and discovers that he has inherited more than just a taste for Italian food. This new take on the beloved character brings a fresh energy to the franchise, with a frantic pace and witty one-liners that will leave you laughing out loud.

“It’s a bit of a monkeys and typewriters situation: if you make enough Garfield movies, eventually one will turn out to be worth watching.”

The film’s success can be attributed to its talented voice cast, with Chris Pratt bringing his signature humor to the role of Garfield. Samuel L Jackson also shines as Vic, Garfield’s estranged father. The chemistry between the two leads is undeniable, making their on-screen interactions a joy to watch.
