ShangLuda Admirable film.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
DCfan If you are a fan of Garfield you have come to the right place. This movie is just hilarious i have watched this like so many times when i was younger that i would get tired of it.The best scenes are when Mr Darches gets his hand trapped in a mouse trap, the mansion chase scene, when they are making lasagna and when Garfield tries to get into a play house.I think the message behind the film what can selfishness and greed lead too. Overall 10/10
scorzine I saw this one in theaters when I was seven years old, and it was one of the funniest movies I ever saw. The dialog made me laugh and the idea was interesting, although not the best in a movie. I was a big fan of the original Garfield movie so I believed in the sequel. Both of them inspired me to read the Garfield comics regularly. Maybe this movie's not exactly a masterpiece, but there are some funny parts, like when Garfield breaks out of the kennel. If you ask me, that was the best part, but the rest of the movie was funny as well. If you don't like it, that's okay. I just don't think it deserved the attention it received, because it was a great movie and it was definitely worth watching.
gregeichelberger Originally published on June 11, 2006:I suppose if I had cared anything for the original live-action "Garfield" (based on Jim Davis' once-popular comic strip, from 2004), I would have liked this one better. Suffice it to say, however, if you have children, there are certainly worse movies you could take them to.I can't think of any of those right now, but I'm sure there are worse ones.Plus, it always grated on me that while the title character is a (very cheap) CGI creation, all of the other animals in the movie are real.What is THAT all about?! Anyway, since it's difficult for a an adult critic (as I have been accused of being at times) to judge a picture like this, I brought along my daughter to see this one with me – just to be fair. When she only laughed at a few parts of this movie, I knew my assessment was not wrong.This is a profoundly and ridiculously stupid film.Based on the much better Mark Twain story of the "Prince and the Pauper," the animated feline (again voiced by a deadpan Bill Murray) somehow gets mixed up with a pampered cat, Prince (voice of Tim Curry), living on a huge English estate.There's trouble afoot, though, as British stand-up comic, Billy Connelly, the nephew of the late owner, wants his share of the property and will do anything to get rid of the animals which inhabit the place, including trying to drown the Prince, shoot a duck and threaten his lawyers with a crossbow.You see, he wants to build a resort on the land and - oh, why even go on? Trying to explain this moronic plot is just wasting time, energy and brain cells. Plus, just because they move the location to the British Isles doesn't mean that any more class or intelligence was added to this stupid series. The dialogue is silly and humorless, the situations are absurd (even for a goofy movie like this), and there's no chemistry between the two leads, Jon Arbuckle and Liz (Brekin Meyer and Jennifer Love Hewitt, even though the whole adventure revolves around Jon prosing marriage to her). Fortunately, we see very little of this tepid couple throughout, so I suppose it's not all terrible.But the biggest crime of all is wasting the talents of Murrary, Bob Hoskins (a bulldog's voice), Curry and Connelly on this enterprise which smells like a full litter box in July.In fact, as allergic as I am to the meowing beasts, I'd rather spend 90 minutes in a room full of them than to ever have to see another "Garfield" flick again.Cat got my tongue? No, just my brain - for the duration of this movie, at least.
FilmBuff1994 Garfield two is a very good sequel,and I love the idea of two Garfields,I think this film is underrated,the film is about a cat who is prince of an estate and gets everything he wants,and John is trying to have the guts to ask Liz to marry him,he then finds out that Liz has vet job to do at London for a while and asks John to come over so he so he decides to ask her there and puts Garfield and Odie in a place were they mind pets but Garfield somehow finds a way to escape and follows John on the airport to London and gets to London,meanwhile down at the castle a dead Queen gets the cat to take over and the Quenns nephew grows jealous and then drives the cat down town and trows him out of the car and drives off,and then the princes butler finds out and drives down town and sees Garfield and thinks that hes the prince and drives back and Garfield gets all the food he wants and starts to enjoy being treated like a prince.
