Title: When CGI goes too far
Review: I love Garfield the cat. I own all 40 books of the fat, orange tabby cat. I loved the cartoon series "Garfield and Friends". I love Bill Murray. Unfortunately I hate this movie. Well I hate the trailer which actually makes both "Scooby Doo" movies look like "The Passion of The Christ" and that is saying a lot. I don't know what is more offensive the fact that Garfield and Odie looks nothing like their newspaper counterparts or that the only big name actor in this movie is Bill Murray as Garfield. Bill Murray better have received a big check for this clunker of a film. Breckin Meyer as Jon Arbuckle? John is tall, lanky and dorky looking. Breckin is short and doesn't look nowhere near as nerdy looking as the Jim Davis' creation. And Jennifer Love Hewitt as Garfield's vet Liz is laughable. Call me a snob but whoever was responsible for casting this film should have tried again. This movie of my favorite cartoon cat looks absolutely horrible. (...)
