Sick Product of a Sick System

Absolutely the worst movie.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is what a Garfield adaptation should look like. Though 'Garfield Gets Real' may seem childish for the first time, it's recommended for all ages and for all Garfield fans. The storyline is very simple (but what can we expect from a children's movie?), and I think they should have put more effort into the visual side, but the final result is surprisingly good. Though in my opinion it's not as good as the live action movies, it's still enjoyable and fun. Some characters are a bit annoying, but it's not a problem for the kids. The fact, that the cartoon and the real world in the movie look exactly the same, is the biggest drawback of the film. A good family movie with some humor, cute characters, highly recommended. 7/10

Garfield is a philosophical, furry fat man originally intended by our disgruntled, coffee-slugging adults. But this is not Garfield. This is a fantasy show with a Garfield lookalike. It's watered down, badly animated, and contains horrible new characters such as Shecky, Sheila, Billy Bear, and that intolerable Bonita.Garfield is supposed to take place in a real-life setting in Muncie. This is a fake world with pseudo-physical properties that is home to the comic strip. It is an alternate reality to our own. I always preferred to think that Garfield lived right across my state border, not in a parallel universe.I don't know how Jim Davis ever allowed it (and its sequels) to ever come into production. This would be the worst Garfield film of all, if not for the Fun Fest. Awful. But then, that gives insight to my mind as well: I watched them, and I'm planning to see the Pet Force, just for the heck of it. Do we humans ever learn? I'm giving this one 2 stars, because I love Garfield. I don't think I can be that lenient on Fun Fest, though. Even my 8-year-old Garfield-loving sister couldn't stand this stuff. Give me "Babes and Bullets" any day, and leave "Gets Real" for your younger siblings and children.

Anyone who has seen the two live-action borefests and regretted every minute of it would do well to pick up this movie. My 5-year-old little girl loves this movie to death and she likes it much better than the other two. Having been a huge fan of the comic strip for years I was delighted to see that someone made a movie faithful to the source material. Every character looks and acts exactly as you expect them to and the animation is wonderful. You can tell that the animators took great care to craft something as amazing as the opening sequence, where the sun rises and spreads its light across the valley. Is it laugh-out-loud funny? No, but it really doesn't need to be, especially for the kids. Adults with an open mind and the heart of a child will find the movie entertaining as well. I would suggest that you rent this to see if this is something that your family will enjoy before plunking down the money to own it.

This film is not like the other Garfield films. The other ones anyone who loved the comic could watch. This film is JUST for kids and totters. The animation is really good for this type of film and the voice acting is great. The plot of the comic Garfield entering our world is an idea that could have been done much better if they filmed the "real" world stuff with real people because you just don't get the feel that he is in the real world.If you are a regular Garfield fan over 10 or so you can just watch this on a Sunday afternoon as a time waster. If you have any, watch this with your kids. They will love it but could be confused never knowing who Garfield is. They will still enjoy it
