"Garfield" is a movie for the whole family. Despite being silly in most cases, it has a very childlike aspect with some sharp jokes. It's a 6/6.5 movie, but it manages to entertain children in particular. It's not like the old animated Garfield; however, it is still a pleasant film. I believe that, for the adult audience, it can be silly in many parts; however, there are some parts of the movie that can please both audiences. The sharp jokes that "Garfield" makes can get some laughs out of us. It is not a movie that will please 100% of the adult audience due to its silliness, but it can be enjoyable for some people.

I honestly can take this over the stupid live-action movies and the straight-to-video movies from the late 2000s. But I can't call this a good one either. The Garfield Movie is just a mediocre movie where I see that it does try to be a movie based on the character, but doesn't go as well as I hoped it would. I can see some effort with good animation and a little bit of heart, but it won't change how disappointing it was for the most part. All the movie can ever offer is a predictable plot, characters that don't live to their potential, and comedy that contains less of the funny ones for the style of the comics but a lot of unfunny ones for the pop culture references and unnecessary modern technology gags, which that would make the movie look like it's trying to be the modern version of the comics. While I don't consider this a bad movie, I won't see the rush of seeing this. But I'll say that it's a one time watch if you're a fan of the comics and the cartoons. If the sequel is ever set to be planned, I'll be up for it. But for next time, maybe make it more bigger for a Garfield movie, try not to have Garfield and Vic constantly arguing with each other, and make the characters a lot more interesting. And please, don't try to be modern.

"The Garfield Movie" is a pleasant film without further ado, the script is simple and fun, in addition to containing a well-made family message, however it fails to capture the essence of the animated series "Garfield and Friends" or the sarcasm of the strip comedy by Jim Davis. The actors who lend their voices to give life to the characters do a good job. The computer animation has quality but it would have been better if it had been done with old school style animation. The soundtrack, sound design, and editing all achieve their goal without being of superb quality. "The Garfield Movie" is a decent movie, it has fun scenes but it is not wonderful.
