#GARFIELD A TALE OF 2 KITTIES FULL MOVIE MOVIE#

Unfortunately Jennifer Love Hewitt doesn't have much screen time. Even the innocent Odie steals the show at times. This decision proves to be the only saving grace of the film, as it's more interesting to watch their adorable realism than it is to struggle through the sometimes-scary facial quirks of a poorly animated Garfield. Thankfully the filmmakers decided to cast real life animals with talking mouths for these characters, ala Babe. A good chunk of the film follows all the antics of Garfield and his new animal friends who inhabit the estate of the castle. Enter Garfield and the mayhem that ensues as Dargis scratches his head in disbelief while trying desperately to do away with the fat cat. Prince has been 'displaced' in a basket and sent down the river by the evil Lord Dargis (Billy Connolly), who has plans to rule the kingdom himself. It seems Garfield is a spitting image of London's ruling feline, Prince (Tim Curry). When they sneak out to explore European style, all hell breaks loose with a classic case of mistaken identity. Of course, the curious cat with mischief on his mind stows away with his doggie friend Odie. This second installment of Garfield on the big screen takes us all the way to the castles of London where John Arbuckle (Breckin Meyer) has pathetically chased his girlfriend, Liz (Jennifer Love Hewitt) with a wedding ring and a plan to pop the question. However, a film made for the enjoyment of wide-eyed children SHOULD make the wide-eyed children laugh. And it shouldn't be reviewed with equal standards. Now, in all fairness, this film's subject isn't as serious as let's say, The DaVinci Code. And their silence in the theatre proves it.

But come on, the child movie audience of today is much smarter than this. Okay, the attention span of a child, I get it. It also reduces the film into quick cut montages, leaving no room for a point to the story. Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties takes all the fun out of the Big Fat Cat and replaces it with potty humor that seems to be an afterthought perhaps only after initial screenings produced extreme boredom and narcolepsy. When all the children at the movie theatre with their great big smiles and their gigantic handfuls of Milk Duds and popcorn butter look as if they're being transformed into adults with tax problems right before your very eyes, then you know something's not quite right.
