Garfield is a 2004 natural disaster. This movie is a train wreck of bad acting and just overall awfulness. This is the first film in the Garfield Cinematic Universe (GCU) and so it lays out the extent of control Garfield had over his neighborhood and his owner Jon. Throughout the beginning of the movie we see how Garfield rules Jons life, forcing Jon to work his hardest to please Garfield. A little later in the movie we meet Liz. Liz and Jon are the worst parts of this movie, worse than any of Garfields jokes in the movie. Liz and Jon do nothing but fill me with indescribable rage and when they interact with the other characters in the movie it is similar to the feeling you get when you make a bowl of cereal and there’s no milk, except stretched through an hour and 20 minutes. This movie does have potential though, for instance it could be used by the CIA to torture confessions out of people. There is one scene in the movie that sticks with me, in said scene Garfield (who is chasing after Odie after he is kidnapped) falls about 15 stories into a truck. During this scene he falls into a truck full of lasagna and says a pun that made my ears bleed but to someone not paying attention it seems like Garfield fell 15 stories and exploded in a violent burst of gore and viscera. Now I hope you, the reader appreciates what I do for you and the process of writing these reviews, I may not be a professional critic, or a good writer, but I watched this movie multiple times to get this review done. Never in my life had I suffered such pain, like a man with nothing more to lose I’ve given it all for this review. I’m coming back to this review a few days later and I’m realizing I am not a writer, I am not a movie reviewer, but damn I can still feel the pain this movie caused me. Worse than betting everything and losing it all, worse than almost achieving a goal but falling short and breaking both your arms, nearly getting the perfect game of chess but making a dumb move and losing it all, this movie was one of the worst experiences of my life. 3 outta 8 no one said “I like-a da lasagna”
