Reel Reviews | The Garfield Movie
It goes without saying that The Garfield Movie is a re-imagining of a classic character for an audience that has no idea who Garfield truly is.

Much like the apes in the movie forgetting the legacy of Caesar, this film seems to have lost the foundation of the movies that came before it.
The film is a well-executed re-imagining of a fairly unmemorable television series from the early 80’s.
Except for a couple of tennis scenes (one where the point of view is from a tennis ball being played) the film lags in its service.
Despite having a textbook plot, this film is engaging and entertaining. Don’t look for a lot of traditional horror scares but be ready for buckets of blood.
The film is fun but easily forgettable. While the actors and the scenes pack punch, the film, as a whole, does not.
A poor script, coupled with decent special effects make Sting an OK movie to watch in theaters but a great movie to watch at home in the creepy darkness of a creaky home.
