Movie Reviews of Garfield - A Tail of Two Kitties

Movie Review: The usual mistaken identity farce
Summary: 2 Stars

Yes, I was very disappointed with the first Garfield movie, but I saw both movies for a reasonable price so I bought them. While I watched the first movie again, and my opinion hadn't changed, I'd heard good things about the second Garfield movie. Plus, it's got Billy Connolly in it - where can you go wrong there?

The one plus point about this movie is Breckin Meyer doesn't appear very much. I like Breckin, but I just don't think he's the right actor to play Jon. It doesn't match what I see in my head, or the cartoons. Neither does Odie, but don't even get me started on that.

The basic, simplistic plot line goes like this: Garfield ends up in Jon's suitcase, when he follows Liz to London to propose. Garfield ends up going to see the sights, and gets confused with a rich aristoCAT (voiced by a very posh Tim Curry). The rich aristoCAT gets confused with Garfield, and each go to the wrong homes. Cue lots of mishaps, some funny moments, although few and far between, and Billy Connolly being quite unfunny.

The best thing about the DVD? The extras. You get to see THE Jim Davis draw Garfield, Odie & Pooky, and show you the steps of how to go about drawing them. He also draws a DVD exclusive comic strip, and it takes FOUR people to ink it, colour it etc. WOW! For one, three frame comic strip. The rest of the extras include your standard games, and a featurette about the animals/trainers involved in the movie.

Am I disappointed by both movies? Yes I am, I hope to god there's either not another movie, or it's a lot better. Because quite frankly, I so prefer the books or the TV shows. You just can't fault them.

Summary of Garfield - A Tail of Two Kitties

America's favorite fat cat is back and this time he's giving England the royal treatment! It's a British invasion of a different kind when Garfield along with pals Jon and Odie travels to London and meets his mirror-image in Prince an aristocratic kitty who has inherited a fabulous castle. The two trade places and soon Garfield is living large as only he can! There's just one problem: the dastardly Lord Dargis wants him out of the picture. A Tail of Two Kitties is twice the laughs and double the fun for the whole family... It's good to be the king!System Requirements:Running Time: 84 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: PG UPC: 024543387381 Manufacturer No: 2238738

An impressive cast gives an unexpected boost to Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties, the sequel to the first film starring the comic strip cat turned CGI feline. Once again voiced by Bill Murray (whose ever-eclectic career ranges from Meatballs to Lost in Translation), Garfield stows away in the luggage of his owner, Jon (Breckin Meyer, Clueless), as Jon travels to London to propose to his veterinarian girlfriend, Liz (Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ghost Whisperer). It just so happens that in England, a cat named Prince (voiced by Tim Curry) has just inherited a castle--much to the dismay of Lord Dargis (Billy Connolly, Mrs. Brown), who plots to get rid of Prince and all the other animals who inhabit the castle so that he can build condominiums on the property. Naturally, paths cross, identities get switched, and a barnyard of very British beasts find themselves dependent on the eternally lazy Garfield to keep their home safe from Dargis' predations. A Tail of Two Kitties is cheerful and short; nothing about it is very inspired, but it's certainly better than the first film and the technical effects are impeccable. Additional voice work by Bob Hoskins, Jane Horrocks, Rhys Ifans, Vinnie Jones, and others make everything seem just a little bit classier, as does the presence of Roger Rees (from the RSC Nicholas Nickleby) and Lucy Davis (from the original version of The Office). --Bret Fetzer
