mariannepolin Until I saw this movie, I never knew that Garfield had such a cool twin brother (spoiler alert). This movie changed my life. I never knew that a bond between brothers could be as strong as homemade lasagna. This movie takes you on a whirlwind of emotions, from laughter to crying. I remember when I misplaced the DVD for 6 months -- the darkest 6 months of my life. What got me through was the fact that I had the first one on DVD to get me through.As well, the bond between Garfield and Odie can never be broken <3 What an amazing duo. This movie is a cinematic masterpiece.

Samuel Reid Garfield two is a joy from start to finnish. This masterpiece will keep you smiling the whole night. This movie follows Garfield getting into all sorts of mischief, but this time it go's too far, when Garfield swaps owners with a look a like of his. I don't want to spoil too much, but the results are simply hilarious. In conclusion, Garfield two is a must buy, not just for children, but people of all ages. 10 out of 10, buy now, you will not be disappointed. I'm just Joshing, there's still so much more to talk about. I must confess, when first going into this movie I thought Bill Murray was just phoning it in. But after witnessing his amazing comedic abilities, I knew never to doubt him again. 5 Stars, would watch again, I've already watched it 10 times.

gregeichelberger Originally published on June 11, 2006:I suppose if I had cared anything for the original live-action "Garfield" (based on Jim Davis' once-popular comic strip, from 2004), I would have liked this one better. Suffice it to say, however, if you have children, there are certainly worse movies you could take them to.I can't think of any of those right now, but I'm sure there are worse ones.Plus, it always grated on me that while the title character is a (very cheap) CGI creation, all of the other animals in the movie are real.What is THAT all about?! Anyway, since it's difficult for a an adult critic (as I have been accused of being at times) to judge a picture like this, I brought along my daughter to see this one with me – just to be fair. When she only laughed at a few parts of this movie, I knew my assessment was not wrong.This is a profoundly and ridiculously stupid film.Based on the much better Mark Twain story of the "Prince and the Pauper," the animated feline (again voiced by a deadpan Bill Murray) somehow gets mixed up with a pampered cat, Prince (voice of Tim Curry), living on a huge English estate.There's trouble afoot, though, as British stand-up comic, Billy Connelly, the nephew of the late owner, wants his share of the property and will do anything to get rid of the animals which inhabit the place, including trying to drown the Prince, shoot a duck and threaten his lawyers with a crossbow.You see, he wants to build a resort on the land and - oh, why even go on? Trying to explain this moronic plot is just wasting time, energy and brain cells. Plus, just because they move the location to the British Isles doesn't mean that any more class or intelligence was added to this stupid series. The dialogue is silly and humorless, the situations are absurd (even for a goofy movie like this), and there's no chemistry between the two leads, Jon Arbuckle and Liz (Brekin Meyer and Jennifer Love Hewitt, even though the whole adventure revolves around Jon prosing marriage to her). Fortunately, we see very little of this tepid couple throughout, so I suppose it's not all terrible.But the biggest crime of all is wasting the talents of Murrary, Bob Hoskins (a bulldog's voice), Curry and Connelly on this enterprise which smells like a full litter box in July.In fact, as allergic as I am to the meowing beasts, I'd rather spend 90 minutes in a room full of them than to ever have to see another "Garfield" flick again.Cat got my tongue? No, just my brain - for the duration of this movie, at least.

Jackson Booth-Millard The first film wasn't great, and while this sequel might a very, very tiny improvement, it is still the same quality of entertainment, from director Tim Hill (Muppets from Space). Basically Jon Arbuckle (Breckin Meyer) is planning to propose to his girlfriend Liz (Jennifer Love Hewitt), and his pets, cat Garfield (Bill Murray) and dog Odie follow him to England. Meanwhile, Dargis (Billy Connolly) is wanting to inherit a mansion and fortune, but misses the opportunity to the regal cat Prince (Tim Curry), who looks exactly like Garfield, so obviously, the two are switched. Garfield lives in the lap of luxury with everything he could want, including a gang of farm animal followers, and Prince has Jon, Odie, a crumby home and lasagna. With Dargis trying to now get rid of Garfield, both he and Prince are brought together to stop his dastardly plan and save all the animals in for the kill. Also starring Ian Abercrombie as Smithee, Roger Rees as Mr. Hobbs, Lucy Davis as Abby, Bob Hoskins as Winston, Sharon Osbourne as Christophe, Joe Pasquale as I, Claudius; Jane Leeves as Eenie, Jane Horrocks as Meenie, Richard E. Grant as Preston, Vinnie Jones as Rommel, Rhys Ifans as McBunny, and narrated by Roscoe Lee Browne as Narrator. The jokes are average, the mistaken-identity thing could have gone a bit better, and the special effects don't do too badly, just like the first one, this is more for the kids. It was nominated the Razzies for Worst Prequel or Sequel and Worst Excuse for Family Entertainment. Okay!
