Garfield Cai na Real

This film is probably the worst movie I have had the unfortunate pleasure of watching The story line is weak the animation is worse than a PlayStation 2 game. Everyone involved in this film should be embarrassed Don't watch it.

This is not just a bad film. This is one of the worst pieces of media I have ever consumed.

It amazes me that Garfield has been such an iconic and recognisable brand for so long and yet the quality of media produced by Paws inc. never seems to pass mediocrity and sometimes gives us mindbogglingly awful uses of the character such as Garfield Gets Real.

On the outset this film is supposed to be a critic about how stale the comic has gotten, being written by the creator, Jim Davis, himself my guess is that this was his attempt to show that their is still room for creativity and humor in Garfield. It's such a shame that Davis has never seemed to actually find any such creativity and humour.

I believe this is the last of the Garfield movies I'll ever have to see in my life and boy am I glad. I realize that Garfield was something that has not held up as an adult. I guess you could say I grew out of it, but it just no longer entertains me. This movie features really bad CGI and everyone and everything just looks so ugly. I do admit that I like the premise as it shows how a comic strip is made. It's set up on a stage where a director takes pictures for the panels. That's actually an interesting setup. The main plot doesn't even appear until 24 minutes into the whole movie and for a film that's fairly short, that's a bad idea.

I realize now that I miss characters like Arlene appearing in the actual comics more. The only comic strip character that I recognized as appearing was Dagwood. It's just painful to watch this cheesy animation. It's rare that direct to video animated films use CGI like theatrically released ones and maybe this is the reason why. People don't seem to recognize Garfield even though there's comics of him right in front of their noses. It's not funny, it's just a dumb plot point. *1/2

i don't quite no what to make of this film.this is Garfield's first CG animated movie.i thought it had some amusing moments,but nothing laugh out loud funny.the story is very simple,so kids will be able to follow it very easily.the voices were very fitting for the characters.the CG in general looks nice and pretty.that's the good news.the bad news?some of the characters look quite freaky,almost scary,i think..i also found the movie very slow for much of the time.i realise i'm much older than the target audience.for kids,if they don't find some of the characters too creepy,they will probably enjoy it.adults might like it too,and if not,at least they know their kids are watching kid friendly entertainment.for me,i give Garfield Gets Real a 5/10

When I was younger, I loved this movie. I watched it on repeat all the time and it always entertained me. I found the disc today and decided to watch it again for old times sake. The experience... is not what I remembered. Watching it now, I realise how flawed it is. For a Garfield movie, the jokes fall rather flat. The animation is almost terrifying in some moments and it's rather boring overall. So, I wouldn't say it's terrible. I'd say I grew out of this film around the age of eight, so therefore this is a movie for young kids only. Pre-teens and up will find little to no enjoyment while sitting through this, but overall it's not the most unbearable thing your child can make you sit through.
