Garfield's clever and sarcastic remarks, Jon's clumsy womanizing techniques All this has been replaced with an unhealthy dose of feel-good messages and lame jokes. The movie totally lacks all the elements that make the comics so entertaining. I have no problem with a movie being pro-children, but this is exaggerated and hardly accessible for adult viewers. And yet, the film completely aims for a youthful audience. On the contrary, most of the dry humor and charismatic Garfield poses are difficult to 'get' for young children. All the years I've been a loyal reader of the Garfield comics, I never had the impression it's merely meant for kids.
