For those seeking a nostalgic trip down memory lane, you might find yourself better off enjoying the classic Garfield cartoons on YouTube from the comfort of your car. "The Garfield Movie" features Chris Pratt voicing the iconic lasagna-loving cat and Samuel L. Jackson as his scruffy street cat father, Vic. While Garfield and Odie's high-stakes heist and wild adventure may delight younger audiences, it might not hit the mark for older fans. Save yourself the disappointment and let the kids enjoy the film while you indulge in Garfield's timeless humor elsewhere.

"The Garfield Movie" delivers hyperkinetic fun, filled with a roster of famous voice stars. Chris Pratt's Garfield and Samuel L. Jackson's Vic embark on a wacky, high-stakes heist that takes them far from Garfield's cozy indoor life. Yet, despite the action and humor, the film feels disconnected from its original source material, which has left me reminiscing about Bill Murray's iconic portrayal. While it offers some entertainment, fans of the classic Garfield might find it lacking the charm of the older versions. Overall, a lively romp but missing a bit of the original magic.
