DUELING CRITICS

"Marvelously voiced by Bill Murray, the slacker cat is an expert CGI effect that interacts almost seamlessly with live-action humans and animals. Like Scooby-Doo, in a way, but much better...A one-two punch: It's Garfield funny and it's Bill Murray funny"

- Eleanor Ringel Gillespie

"Screenwriters Joel Cohen and Alec Sokolow turn the Bea Arthur of the feline world into a coked-up blabbermouth who trades in pop cultural parts...[A] humiliating film"
