Fat cat Garfield spends his time snoozing, eating lasagne, watching TV and making wisecracks ™ until his owner Jon falls in love with beautiful veterinarian Liz. She convinces Jon to adopt the adorably dumb puppy Odie, who promptly turns Garfield-s easy existence upside down. But when an evil dog trainer abducts Odie, it-s up to Garfield to get off the couch and lead a heroic rescue mission.

Garfield 2 : A Tale of Two KittiesProduct reviews...
Review by: kiwireviewer-00
Dated: 21st of December, 2004
He's back, that fat lasagne-eating cat with the smug attitude and the carpet-combing belly, the one, the only, Garfield. If you have read any of the Jim Davis comic strips or cartoon books, you'll know all about Garfield.
So this movie will surprise you. The highlights: Bill Murray really is the voice of Garfield. They hit on the perfect person for this character. And the fellow they chose to play Jon (Brekin Meyer) actually does a very good job, for a love-sick doofus trying to cope with a cat who somehow manages to do a flying cannon-ball from across the room to wake him up every morning.
My son LOVED this movie, especially when Garfield and Odie dance on the porch. He was in histerics for that whole scene, but soon got bored after that. So did I. Maybe I just don't get the humour so subtly hidden that only an American can see it, but this movie just didn't seem to be worth the pricetag. A good deal when it hits the bargain bin, but full-retail... nah.
Overall, My son is glad I got it. It became his all-time favourite, for all of 1 weekend. Strange kid. :)
