Thankfully for my wallet/conscience, my Wife, daughter and her friends all enjoyed it and so I could just chalk it up to not being for me. That said, I don't plan on picking up the movie on disc unless it hits like $5. My wife or daughter will have to buy this one if they want to watch it again.

I wanted to see if. But soon as they said Chris Pratt was Garfield I was out. Sameul Jackson didn't help things either. I like Jackson but he is boring to me now as he just phones in his sam Jackson schtick anymore.

I just need to come to grips with the fact that anything I like that originated more than 20 years ago that gets made now I probably won't like it. They take away what originally made it a fan favorite.

The old Garfield will still be remembered 20 years from now, but hardly anyone will even remember this movie in 2 years.

But that's ok, I can still watch Garfield and friends, and the Halloween special.
