How sad is this?

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

One big waste of $10,000,000. Garfield is not supposed to be like this. He is supposed to be a cat who stays at home and can't speak. But I don't know what was wrong with Jim Davis. He has been doing comic strips everyday since 1978 and he "forgets" that Garfield does not do the comics himself, live in a real place and does not say a word. Another thing is the ugly sub-par animation. This is a movie and movies look better than TV shows. Looks worse than even the first Toy Story movie from 1995. They should not randomly change it from 2D to 3D animation. And yes, I am a true fan of Garfield (not the GCI TV program and movies) and. I am a kid.

Surely this film deserves more praise then it got. This is the third and best Garfield movie. Don't get me wrong. The previous two Garfield movie didn't show any resistance to the original fat cat and had countless differences with the strip. This is a Garfield movie done right.The plot of the movie, written by Garfield creator Jim Davis, has Garfield tired of his old comic strip job. This is where we find out where a Garfield strip is made. It's like shooting a movie, but pictures are taken and are digital into a comic strip. The idea is very original. During the scene one part made me laugh unexpectedly and I won't give it away! Garfield then finds a way to get himself into the real world, and Odie gets into it too. Garfield enjoys life in real world, for a little while, but unfortunately he finds out his strip will be canceled, so he decides to try and get him and Odie back to the comic world.The animation was fine for the movie, it had some best acting ever since the Garfield specials, and there are new and creative characters that you can get to know when you first meet them. There's also some funny parts in the movie and some fun action during the escape from the burning hotel scene.Garfield Gets Real's not the best Garfield project, but the movie overall is smart, funny, cute, and you should be entertain from this movie. This is why I recommend this movie to Garfield fans young and old.Two Paws Up!

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
