You know Garfield, right? He cannonballs onto his owner Jon in the morning to wake him up. He sleeps with a teddy bear called "Pookie" and is always harassing ditzy dog Odie. Well, now he's hanging with Jennifer Love Hewitt!

Bill Murray is the voice of Garfield, an arrogant, lasagna-loving fat cat who rules the roost at the home of his owner Jon (Breckin Meyer). Garfield and his pals like to steal milk and drive the local Doberman Pincher nutz. When Jon takes in Odie, a clueless but lovable pooch in order to please his would-be vet girlfriend Dr. Liz (Jennifer Love Hewitt), lots of Garfield versus Odie stuff ensues until Odie is locked out one day and runs away to the big city. All of Garfield's pals think he sent the dog away and shun him.

Garfield has to leave his cul de sac home for the first time in his life and go rescue Odie...of course, he realizes that he really likes the little guy.

Okay, where have we seen this before? Beloved pet (toy) feels displaced by new pet (toy) but when that pet (toy) has been taken away and is in danger, the original pet (toy) must go rescue him and finally bond with him. Uh can you say Toy Story? Garfield: The Movie was written by the same writers who, I guess, decided two times for one story is a charm. There is nothing new here at all but, Bill Murray, as the voice of Garfield totally nails the character and makes him come to life. He's hilarious! He even sings.
