‘The Garfield Movie’ review: A painfully predictable reboot that’s far from purr-fect
The HinduIt’s been 18 years since we had a Garfield film on the big screen and the cat is out of the bag once again. The Garfield Movie has everything going for it and it would not be a surprise if it even ends up being a box-office hit like its predecessors which opened to negative reviews. The Garfield Movie takes off quite brilliantly; we are introduced to our lazy, food-obsessed titular hero who enjoys being treated like a god by his owner Jon and sidekick/best friend, the yellow beagle Odie. The Garfield Movie Director: Mark Dindal Cast: Chris Pratt, Samuel L. Jackson, Hannah Waddingham, Ving Rhames, Nicholas Hoult Runtime: 101 minutes Storyline: The most well-known orange tabby cat who loves the indoors is forced to have a wild outdoor adventure when his estranged father returns It would not be an understatement to say the film derails once Garfield and co. leave the safe confines of his house to Bilbo Baggins their way through an adventure. Despite commendable voice work by Hannah Waddingham — who plays the Jinx, a villainous Persian cat — and the supporting cast, the entire heist angle the film is mounted on is insanely predictable.
