Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBill Murray has said during interviews that he hates that he didn't think to have Garfield say his famous Ghostbusters (1984) line "Dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!" (in the scenes of Odie being introduced to the house) until after all post-production had been completed, and it was too late to add it.
- GoofsThe night Garfield gets kicked out of his house and has to sleep on the porch, he looks into a window and sees Odie sleeping on the bed with Jon with no collar on. At one point when Odie is out on the porch with Garfield, he has the collar on. Then, when Odie runs off the porch to chase a scooter, the collar is gone again.
- Quotes
Jon Arbuckle: What am I gonna do with you?
Garfield: Love me, feed me, never leave me.
- Crazy creditsSome of the opening credits come out from behind things like tree branches and the photographs on Jon's bedroom wall.
- Alternate versionsOn the Spanish dubs of this film, the song "Naranja" is dubbed in English. This is due to the fact the song was written in Spanish.

Featured review
Not so bad, but....
As a huge fan of the laziest cat on Earth, I confess that I was really expecting too much of this movie, but when I watched it, I got a bit disappointed... "Garfield" is not a bad movie at all, but is far away than all the fans expected, for some reasons in particular:
First of all, this movie is basically for children. Anyone who read the original Garfield's comic books knows that his sarcastic humor is for all ages, not just for kids.
The second problem in my opinion maybe can divide some opinions, but let's go: Garfield is lazy, as we all know, but this is an action movie...and nothing is more anti-Garfield than action! I think that a comedy of situations based on all Garfield's countless books could be more interesting, his loyal legion of admires will certainly agree with my point of view.
But, after all, if you just want some fun for a while, this movie will entertain you. Bill Murray is great doing Garfield's voice, very faithful to his shameless and ironic personality. The rest of the cast is OK; a bit affected sometimes, specially Breckin Meyer (Jon Arbuckle), he looks a lot like the cartoon version of Garfield's owner, but I really think that he is exaggerated, always trying to look goofier and goofier... Well, whatever, I think that I must getting older and complaining about things that are not so serious. Kids will love "Garfield" and adults with child's heart will like it as well...at least, if you're not so hard to please as I am...
