I despise the Garfield movies. I can't believe Bill Murry was in BOTH of them (the second looked so bad I refused to watch it.
As a reader of the comic books I was shocked at how only Garfield's character matched that of the book. John was a confident batchelor, Liz the Nurse actually fell for John, Odie was the 'wonder dog' (he was supposed to be nearly retarded in the books) and Nermal was Garfield's lacky.
The story sucked, the acting was dire and the best bit (or rather only funny joke) was showcased in the trailer. I feel that, with the dancing scene espicially, the whole movie was just there to show off CGI capabilities.
