ROTTEN TOMATOES: Trailer Bulletin: Garfield's A Tale of Two Kitties

Trailer Bulletin: Garfield's A Tale of Two Kitties

by Scott Weinberg | May 24, 2006

Yes, "A Tale of Two Kitties" is the actual title, as if that's less ridiculous than plain ol' "Garfield 2." Anyway, the sequel nobody asked for to an original nobody liked is on its way ... and yes, Bill Murray does reprise his voice-role as the titular tabby. And here's the trailer.

"Jon Arbuckle travels to the United Kingdom, and he brings his cat, Garfield, along for the trip. A case of mistaken cat identity finds Garfield ruling over a castle, but his reign is soon jeopardized by the nefarious Lord Dargis, who has designs on the estate."

Returnees include Breckin Meyer and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Newcomers include Billy Connolly and Lucy Davis. Disinterested parties include me.

"Garfield's A Tale of Two Kitties" opens on June 16th.

Further proof that Hollywood actors are whores who will do almost anything for the almighty dollar. Sickening.

Maybe if they allow Bill Murray to use his Garfield voice in Ghostbusters III they may get him to appear in it.

[b]Poor Meyer & Hewitt[/b]
Breckin Meyer and Jennifer Love Hewitt must have certainly wronged someone somewhere in their lives to have cto ome back for a sequel!

Ugh. Why must Hollywood waste millions of dollars on pointless sequels?! Money doesn't grow on trees, we should save it for better things.

I'm rather amazed that this is not a direct-to-video release. The original did *that* well at the box office? Yikes.

There should be a little after-credits scene of Bill Murray walking into a bank and cashing a huge cheque. :)

The original suffered from casting Stephen Toblowski as the villain. Attentive imdb-ers will note that Toblowski played "Needlenose" Ned Ryerson to Bill Murray's Phil Connors in "Groundhog Day," and since Murray's character handily defeated Toblowski's character in that film, it was simply obvious that history would repeat itself in "Garfield," and thus all tension was sucked out of the otherwise dramatically potent, deeply conceptual film. For what pull does Toblowski truly have as a cackling antagonist when he was so easily felled by the querie "Ned??" and a single suckerpunch to the face?

I didn't watch this trailer, nor do I plan to.
