Movie Info

The laziest cat in America swaps places with the richest feline in England in director Tim Hill's lasagna-laden sequel to the 2004 theatrical hit Garfield. Jon Arbuckle (Breckin Meyer) is on his way to London to propose to his veterinarian girlfriend, Liz Wilson (Jennifer Love Hewitt), and his unflappable cat, Garfield, is determined to be there when Jon pops the big question. Of course, Garfield wouldn't go anywhere without his old pal Odie, and soon after arriving in the land of Big Ben, the

There's something kind of strange about a bunch of animals cooking in a kitchen, when many of those animals would normally be getting cooked in a kitchen. But that is the least of this movie's problems.

Even for the chubbiest comic cat in captivity, Garfield's onscreen shtick is wearing a bit thin.

The best thing that can be said about Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties is that the movie isn't quite as bad as its name.

Just consider A Tail of Two Kitties more endurable, more a movie than Garfield: The Movie, and you won't be too disappointed.

Over the entire length of the film, I counted four laughs. Thirty minutes in, there was even the sound of some cranky crying, and whines of 'But I don't wanna watch the funny kitty-cat.'

Kids should see Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties. It'll help prepare them for a lifetime of mediocre entertainment ahead.

The computer animation of the two cats is once again excellent, but the novelty has worn off.

When the hero of a movie is so greedy, obnoxious and selfish that you find yourself rooting for the bunny-hunting bad guy, something is off in a fundamental way.

after the atrocity that was Garfield: The Movie, I find myself much more forgiving and able to lower my expectations to the point this is at least watchable

It's a Garfield sequel. You were expecting something good?

A lively sense of the ridiculous and grounding in fantasy makes the Garfield sequel chortling and fluffy fun - a nicely ladled script that dishes out a case of mistaken identity, talking animals and Fawlty Tower-esque Billy Connolly

Your kids may beg and plead with you to take them to Garfield 2, but when they become teenagers you'll get the blame for acquiescing.

It's innocuous, knockabout stuff with the usual touristic London rather garishly photographed.

Yet another Hollywood kids' film subscribing to the offensive stereotype that Britain is peopled with aristocrats who live on vast estates and are waited on by a devoted and subservient staff.

A lazily plotted, disappointing sequel with very few laughs but Murray's comic performance ensures that it's just about watchable.

Not to be catty, but did we need another Garfield movie?

the result is a meowvie with less ow to it than its predecessor.

It's exactly like the comic strip that inspired it: colorless, inoffensive, and wholly forgettable.

It's too bad that curiosity didn't kill this particular cat. However, the rest of us will find more stimulating time mindlessly playing with a ball of yarn.

Audience Reviews for Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties

I think it's better than the original but it's still a bastardised version of a much loved cartoon and complete sacrilege to us fans of the comic strip.

Cute movie. Garfield gets mistaken for a regal cat with a big inheritance. Funny scenes.
