All the years I've been a loyal reader of the Garfield comics, I never had the impression it's merely meant for kids. On the contrary, most of the dry humor and charismatic Garfield poses are difficult to 'get' for young children. And yet, the film completely aims for a youthful audience. I have no problem with a movie being pro-children, but this is exaggerated and hardly accessible for adult viewers. The movie totally lacks all the elements that make the comics so entertaining. 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 computer engineered Garfield doesn't appeal and the other, real pets are badly chosen. The plot is standard-sentiment, with Garfield saving his new housemate puppy from a sneaky, fame-chasing TV host. Breckin Meyer (as Jon Arbuckle) and Jennifer Love Hewitt (as the yummy vet Liz) walk around without anything to do and Bill Murray voices Garfield like it's some sort of dire job he wants to get rid of asap. The first (long-awaited?) cinema adventure of everybody's favorite cat appears to be a quickly produced and unprofessional flick soon to be forgotten. Too bad, since you're left behind with the feeling they could have done something better with this.

"Garfield: The Movie" captures the elusive charm of the most egotistical character on the funny pages, and drops him into a story that allows him to bask in his character flaws. That Garfield is revealed to be brave and conscientious after all will not surprise anyone, although it might embarrass him.
The movie, based on the comic strip by Jim Davis, has been directed by Peter Hewitt and written by Joel Cohen and Alec Sokolow. The filmmakers obviously understand and love Garfield, and their movie lacks that sense of smarmy slumming you sometimes get when Hollywood brings comic strips to the screen. Although Garfield claims "I don't do chases," the movie does have a big chase scene and other standard plot ingredients, but it understands that Garfield's personality, his behavior, his glorious self-absorption, are what we're really interested in. The Davis strip is not about a story but about an attitude.
In a film mostly involved with plot, there are two scenes that are irrelevant but charming. In one of them, Garfield and Odie perform in sort of a music video, and in the other, at the end, Garfield has a solo, singing "I Feel Good" and dancing along. Oh, and Jon and Dr. Liz fall in love, although Garfield is no doubt confident he will remain the center of their attention.
Garfield talks all through the movie (this is one of Murray's most talkative roles), but only we can hear him; that's the equivalent of his thought bubbles in the strip. Garfield is animated, the other animals and the humans are real, and the movie does a convincing job of combining the two levels. Garfield looks like neither a cartoon nor a real cat, but like something in between -- plump, squinty and satisfied. Uncanny how when he talks, his mouth looks like Murray's.
There's a parallel plot involving the talentless Happy Chapman (Stephen Tobolowsky), who hosts a TV show with a pet cat. He thinks maybe using a dog might bring him national exposure, tells the little old lady he is Odie's owner, and as a training strategy, gives him electrical shocks from a cruel collar. Whether Garfield is able to break into and out of the pound, save Odie, expose Chapman and reunite Jon with both the dog and Garfield's own noble presence, I will leave for you to discover.

加菲猫的成长
Over the past Garfield
This is Jaffe's appearance in 1978. At that time, more of his body, relatively small eyes. Pointed ears, T-shaped the nose, upper lip and cheeks small pitting industrial leaders. Face more of a beard, who is also more of zebra. Ironically, he was born of hi others, talk about making sarcastic comments, appetite staggering. This account is never changed.
Garfield now
This is today's Garfield. This fat cat has been becomingincreasingly. Head almost as large as with the body, our eyes will be bigger and the nose is a small oval, three on each side of beard, the head of the stripe only three on each side, each face has only three points, Ma.
过去的加菲猫
这是一九七八年加菲的模样。当时他身体比较大，眼睛比较小。尖尖的耳朵，T字型的鼻头，上唇和双颊长着许多小麻点。脸上长着更多的胡子，身上的斑纹也比较多。他生来性喜讽刺别人，讲风凉话，胃口大得惊人。这到是从来不曾改变过.
现在的加菲猫
这是今天的加菲猫。这只胖猫咪变得越发圆滚滚了。脑袋几乎跟身体一样大，眼睛也变大了，鼻子是个小椭圆，胡子每边三根，头部的斑纹只剩每边三条，每边面颊也只有三个麻点。

Garfield is the main character. He is a lazy, selfish, overweight, orange tabby cat who enjoys eating and sleeping.
He hates Mondays due to his consistent streak of bad luck on them. He hates diets (die with a "T") and February ("the Monday of months") and considers himself to be more intelligent than other animals and humans. He also hates spiders, although sometimes he communicates with them. In fact, over time, Garfield has communicated or understood the thoughts of many things, including other cats, mice, rats, dogs, people, clocks, trees, bathroom scales, squirrels, fish, plants, foods (mostly from the fridge), ants, birds and a ball of yarn.
Garfield was born in the kitchen of Mama Leoni's Italian Restaurant and developed a taste for lasagna the day he was born. Ever since then, it has always been his favorite food. At birth, Garfield weighed 5lbs, 8oz. Later in his life, Garfield runs across his Mother again one Christmas Eve, accidentally, and meets his Grandfather for the first time. Although, in a series of strips from November 10 to November 22, 1980, Garfield meets his other grandfather.
At the end of the TV special Garfield Gets a Life, Jon’s car is shown driving away, and his vehicle registration plate says Indiana, indicating that Garfield lives in Indiana. Jim Davis added this is possible because he is from Indiana. It is revealed in the special Garfield Goes Hollywood that he and Jon live in Muncie, Indiana.
In his cartoon appearances, Garfield usually causes mischief in every episode. In June 1983, comic strips introduced Garfield's alter-ego, Amoeba Man, yet he was only shown in 6 strips (6-20 through 6-25). Amoeba Man is only one of his few imaginary alter egos. The Caped Avenger is one of the more common ones.
It was revealed on July 1, 1983 that he doesn’t like raisins. This has also been implied in a comic strip where Garfield saves time by making a list of things he doesn't want for his birthday instead of things he does want. The only thing on the list was raisins. His birthday is June 19, 1978.
加菲猫（Garfield），简称加菲，又可译为加菲尔。一只橙色和肥胖的猫。
它喜欢吃、睡、看电视、在篱笆上跳舞 (但常被邻居打下去) ，以及捉弄阿的和庄阿北。
它最喜爱的食物是宽条面，但讨厌葡萄干。另外，它曾尝试捕捉雀鸟并可能曾将之吃掉，但它是不吃老鼠的。它也讨厌蜘蛛。
它最讨厌星期一。一般而言星期一为它带来灾难，但如果该日是它的生日6月19日则例外。

Jon goes to London to be with Liz and Garfield sneaks with him. Meanwhile a deceased Queen gives everything to her cat Prince XII. Her only heir Lord Dargis becomes jealous and tries to kill Prince. Garfield & Odie sneaks out to the streets of London. Lord Dargis throws Prince in the river and ends up in the sewer of London. SMithee the butler believes he found Prince but it was really Garfield and Jon find Odie with Prince and mistakes him for Garfield. Now the Castle animals must keep Garfield safe and keep him thinking he's royal to save their lives.
仅供参考：Jon Arbuckle (Meyer) travels to the United Kingdom, and he brings his cat, Garfield (voiced by Murray), 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 (Connolly), who has designs on the estate.
另一种版本：America’s favorite feline, Garfield, follows his owner, Jon, to England. The U.K. may never recover, as Garfield is mistaken for a look-alike, regal cat who has inherited a castle. Garfield savors the royal treatment afforded by his loyal four-legged subjects, but his reign is in jeopardy. The nefarious Lord Dargis is determined to do away with Garfield, so he can turn the castle into a resort. Garfield’s bigger, better, more purr-fect world is soon turned upside down in this tale of two kitties.
