Pluskylang Great Film overall

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

nupreacher-696-72733 SilverScreenQueen, contrary to what you may believe, it was Jim Davis that wrote the script for Garfield Gets Real. I think it was a pretty good movie for the target audience. I like the byplay between Bonita and Walter culminating in Walter being forceful with her and her liking it. Jon nixed Walter's idea of an interdimensional portal, but isn't that essentially what Walter built in order to rescue them? And bringing Shecky along also changed the real world because it was Shecky that did everything so that his friends could eat. Another thing, if they had tape that automatically repaired the screen, then why did Eli have to ask prop boy for his special tape? I never really understood that.

Hannah Beattie (HannaPotter) This in my eyes is an insult to Garfield and to the movie world. It is on as we speak as my sister is watching it and I am sat cringing. It is stupid and the character/actor sound awful. I am child myself and if this was targeted for me then the company that made this has serious problems! I have never seen a movie as bad as this and that saying something as I have seen a lot of movies. No offence but you must have some issues if you like this movie I think this movie doesn't even deserve a 4 star rating on here! I mean this doesn't even compare to the real life Garfield movies and other things concerning him. I really think this should never have been made. Right i'm off to knock off this sorry excuse for a movie.

Elil Surely this film deserves more praise then it got. This is the third and best Garfield movie. Don't get me wrong. The previous two Garfield movie didn't show any resistance to the original fat cat and had countless differences with the strip. This is a Garfield movie done right.The plot of the movie, written by Garfield creator Jim Davis, has Garfield tired of his old comic strip job. This is where we find out where a Garfield strip is made. It's like shooting a movie, but pictures are taken and are digital into a comic strip. The idea is very original. During the scene one part made me laugh unexpectedly and I won't give it away! Garfield then finds a way to get himself into the real world, and Odie gets into it too. Garfield enjoys life in real world, for a little while, but unfortunately he finds out his strip will be canceled, so he decides to try and get him and Odie back to the comic world.The animation was fine for the movie, it had some best acting ever since the Garfield specials, and there are new and creative characters that you can get to know when you first meet them. There's also some funny parts in the movie and some fun action during the escape from the burning hotel scene.Garfield Gets Real's not the best Garfield project, but the movie overall is smart, funny, cute, and you should be entertain from this movie. This is why I recommend this movie to Garfield fans young and old.Two Paws Up!

poothrowinmonkey OK I didn't watch the whole thing, I fell asleep, I didn't need to. I'll sum it up, I saw the first movie, they screwed up the characters (besides Garfield) on that. But this one is much much worse, lets see...none of the voices even sound at all like the old cartoons or even have half the of the character that they had. They all sound like they're on autopilot. It looks like it was made for 2 year olds, and here's the biggest problem, get this, Garfield's mouth moves with his words. His mouth is supposed to stay still because he's only thinking the words, he can't actually talk to john, if these morons had actually read a garfield comic strip or watched one of the cartoons before animating it they'd know that. Just as bad as the guys who made that pink panther cartoon series where he talked. It's upsetting to watch them take something I liked as a kid and dumb it down so far. See it didn't need to be dumbed down for kids, I watched the old garfield specials (before the show) when I was a kid and they were great, they were already basically for kids. This is pathetic, Garfield deserves better. Unfortunately according to this site it says Jim Davis wrote it, his strips have also been...not very funny for awhile, I think he needs to give it up, sorry to say, I still think the old garfield comic strips (collected in volumes) and the old TV specials are great. This DVD is horrid.
