| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordMore adult oriented humor would have helped broaden the appeal of Garfield: the Movie beyond its youthful target audience. |
| Filmcritic.comSean O'Connellhardly enough material for a three-panel comic, and definitely not enough for a feature-length film |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxPleasant, mushy, and utterly, utterly soulless. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderI get bored reading a 'Garfield' strip, and it only takes 10 seconds. Imagine the effect of watching a movie that is just as dull, but 480 times as long. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfIf you're a fan of Garfield, then I suggest you stay away from the fat cat's big screen debut. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe filmmakers obviously understand and love Garfield, and their movie lacks that sense of smarmy slumming you sometimes get when Hollywood brings comic strips to the screen. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanI recommend it as a family film that kids will enjoy and adults will find unexpectedly pleasant. |
| About.comRebecca MurrayEverything about this movie feels so 10 years ago - so behind the times - even in terms of the animation. |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithThe story is bland and workmanlike--week-old catnip that's lost its bite. What saves it is the animation, which is set amid a live-action world and which is extremely well done. |
| Film ThreatPeter LowryOverall, Garfield's first movie might not be as amusing as the cartoon but it was still a lot of fun to watch. |
