The Take
The Garfield Movie is forgettable family filler that leans hard on Chris Pratt's voice and safe tropes instead of the comic's sharp wit.
It strings together a dead-simple plot with CGI that does all the heavy lifting and none of the charm.
The Verdict
The movie coasts on brand recognition and voice talent while delivering nothing fresh or funny enough to justify the runtime.
Skip it. Watch Puss in Boots: The Last Wish instead.
