Garfield (Bill Murray) is the big-boned, lasagna loving, demanding cat belonging to Jon Arbuckle (Breckin Meyer). He hates to leave his cul-de-sac but Jon keeps bringing him to the vet Liz (Jennifer Love Hewitt). Jon has a crush on her since high school. She asks him to adopt Odie. Garfield doesn't like to share Jon's affections. Odie catches the attention of local TV morning personality Happy Chapman (Stephen Tobolowsky). Garfield gets pushed out of the house. Odie goes to accompany him but he locks Odie out. Odie wanders off and gets dognapped by Chapman who wants the dog to be a performance on his show. Bill Murray is the perfect Garfield. He's sarcastic and lovable. That goes for both Murray and Garfield. The story is light kids comedy. It's not terribly deep. It has the essence of the comic strip. This is for Garfield fans.

Jon Arbuckle (Breckin Meyer),the owner of Garfield, accepts the dog Odie as a gift from Garfield's veterinary Liz (Jennifer Love Hewitt) to impress her. Jon has had a crush on her since high school, and intends to use Odie to have a chance to date Liz. Garfield becomes jealous, leaves Odie outside the house along the night and the dog is abducted by Happy Chapman (Stephen Tobolowsky),who wants to use the dog in a show in New York. Garfield decides to rescue Odie back to Jon. First of all, I am suspect to write about Garfield, my favorite cartoon together with Hagar. I bought this DVD a couple of weeks ago, but when I saw the IMDb User Rating and the titles of some reviews, I thought that I had wasted my money. Today it is raining in Rio de Janeiro, and I decided to watch the movie, expecting a horrible film. What a good surprise, I liked it a lot. The story is very simple, but shows all the components of the cartoon: Garfield, very lazy, selfish, loving lasagnas, jealous, and having the voice of Bill Murray to give a very special touch to this fat cat. Odie is very sweet, but Breckin Meyer is weak in the role of Jon, and the delicious Jennifer Love Hewitt has a minor participation. A good entertainment, indicated for the whole family and fans of Garfield. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Garfield – O Filme" ("Garfield – The Movie")

Truly a masterpiece of film. I liked the part where Garfield are the lasagna
