Dallas Observer
If it weren't for Murray, there'd be nothing at all to the film, which forgets all conventional notions of story or characterization. - 50
Philadelphia Inquirer
However terrific Murray is, if Antonio Banderas, mellifluous voice of Puss-in-Boots in "Shrek 2," went paw to claw with Garfield, Puss would definitely triumph. - 42
Entertainment Weekly
Cloddish, unfunny dud. - 40
L.A. Weekly
Under Peter Hewitt's phoned-in direction, Garfield chugs along like the slow train to Chattanooga, with only Jennifer Love Hewitt, as the local vet, twittering pertly in a desperate effort to raise Jon's feeble pulse. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Unlike that widely appealing picture with the giant green ogre, this one's strictly for the kiddies. - 38
Charlotte Observer
The filmmakers find "laughs" in sadistic violence. - 25
ReelViews
This a neutered Garfield, one part tomcat and three parts pussy, recognizable only by his orange coat and love of lasagna. This feline's got a serious case of mange. - 25
Miami Herald
Now here's the reason America won't love Garfield: The Movie: Garfield's gone from the listless feline we all know and love to a fast-stepping, break-dancing cat about town. What's worse, the other characters are even farther from their roots.
