Y'know the comics have been becoming less funny in the past few years...they're all the same week after week. Garfield lays around for a few frames, Jon says something, and Garfield gives a retort and that's about it.
The movie looks like it could either be very good or very bad...Bill Murray (Garfield's voice in this movie) is definitely no Lorenzo Music (Garfield's voice on the cartoon), but he seems like he could do a halfways decent job. One thing that I don't like is that from what I've seen, Odie is a real dog instead of CG. When he's not the dumb, yellow, drooling mutt that he is in the cartoons, he becomes absolutely useless in anything having to do with Garfield...I think the other animals such as Arlene and Nermal are going to be regular animals too, sadly. If they don't capture all of the original Garfield spirit with all his other animal sidekicks, then I'd say it isn't worth seeing. Garfield was never the sole star of his comic; it shouldn't be that way in the movie either.
