I think I see how this movie got made. Bill Murray signed on because he thought the writer was a Cohen brother... Producers approached a BUNCH of companies saying "Want your product to be in a Garfield movie?" And the companies gave them money... And they hired two of the cheapest, yet prettiest looking actors to play the bland yet attractive leads. All the while the writer spent one evening shitting out the script. Hollywood, everybody.

Fun (maybe) fact: In the comic, Jon is not Odie's original owner. Used to have a friend by the name of Lyman, who vanished from the comics in the mid-80s.
Throne Zwei scary part I only know this because of the cartoon the new one they did an entire teo episodes about it and lymon became the Abominable Snowman I'm not making that part up I swear
Nicktoons Rule I...actually remember Lyman! He was the personality-void green turtle-neck wearing bushy-musatched space occupier! I see why he vanished.
A Coen Brothers movie where John Goodman plays Garfield and Steve Buscemi plays Jon would be the greatest thing of all time. Please, somebody, make this happen.
@ammar siddiqui only the creators of some of the greatest films of all time (the big lebowski, fargo, miller's crossing, no country for old men, o brother where art thou?, raising arizona, etc.) you know nothing about movies if you don't know the coens
me too. in the latin american dub (i watched garfield in spanish because i am mexican), HE WAS VOICED BY A GIRL. when i saw the garfield show, i thought they genderflipped nermal
KingOfGreyfell don’t say that Bill Murray is still one the greatest comedians here’s a list of my favourite Bill Murray movies 1. Ghostbusters 2. Groundhog Day 3. Meatballs 4. Stripes 5. Zombieland (he made a cameo in it but still)
Yeah, Odie was pretty much forced on John and Garfield. At least in the comics, Odie used to belong to John's friend or cousin until they stopped featuring him.
that cartoon may have overdosed itself with sci fi plots (time travelling, alternate universe, special machines, etc.).but whenever they featured a toned, slice of life/urban fantasy/cartoon slice of life/fourth breaker episode it was good.
I saw this movie in theaters *4 FUCKIN TIMES.* I was THAT obsessed with this movie. I even hated the original cartoons cause they were nothing like the movie. What a strange child I was lmao
if it makes you feel better i made my mom take me to see sharkboy and lavagirl 4 times. i also had the dvd and watched it like everyday. i still have most of the 3d glasses i got actually.

Dear Hollywood, knock off the CGI and just start employing animation. Imagine how much better and truer to the source material it would be if you did it more like Who Framed Roger Rabbit. That movie still holds up to this day.
Unless we have actual hand drawn animation instead of real people at all, it wouldn't work. If we had that many skilled hand drawn animators out there it would make it much easier to have this kind of stuff, but unfortunately the skill isn't there, as now we have computers to make it a tad faster and easier.

BRANDON FAISON Honestly, When I first discovered Nostalgia Critic, I thought he was Paranoid egotistic Person, who enjoyed bashing on Great Movies. But now I understand that WASN'T his intent. And that it's just for comedic effect.
thegreatjman1999 YES - I thought the exact same thing. I think he did, even though he said in his Pokémon Movie review that he never watched Pokémon/didn't like it/etc.
Didn't they make a sequel to this one? I vaguely remember watching something called "a Tail of Two Kitties" where garfield travels to england to live in a castle

+Nicholas Hassan I would've. It would've been pure ace if they did a Garfield movie. Their black comedy style just fits Jim Davis' characters to a great degree.
"Will you have steak, salmon or lasagna?" Is that an Airplane! reference? "What did he have for dinner?" "Well, we had a choice, steak or fish." "Yes, yes, I remember. I had lasagna."
I thought of names for that CGI Garfield: * Obese Sumo Cheshire Cat * Shere Khan’s Man Boob * Azrael’s Body Fat * Snowball II Ingested by an Rotten Carrot * Moldy Sunny D Pulp * Inbred Foxy Blob
Hey Generic Actor, are you gonna do this to every comment that says something negative about a film? Yeah, god forbid someone not find a film perfect, but its OK to lower someones self esteem by saying "nobody cares about you!" Sick bitch.
***** NC used to do requests. He did Digimon and Pokemon, but that was a long time ago. Maybe he only does a request if thousands of different people ask?
If I remember right, the CAT scan joke was even worse in the Spanish version of this film since they didn't even bother to translate it. He just says gato (Spanish for cat) scan, which is not a type of scan at all.
My mom didn't want us watching Garfield (she thought he teaches kids to be lazy🙄) so to make it "educational", only let us watch it in the Spanish dub!
Why?the skits are awesome they make the review more interesting and you want to know what happens next.and i think nostalgia critic said it best "i love those movies or series that do that "and so do i.
Yeah, I don't hate all the skits, but most of the time they aren't funny, have little to do with anything, last way too long, and distract from the actual review. Especially the daredevil skit, where they literally just reinact the movie their reviewing
It's ironic how often NC criticizes bad acting in his reviews, since pretty much everyone involved in his skits - including himself - are just as terrible at acting.
If these movies annoy you, then stay as far away as possible from any other movies made by Davis Entertainments, possibly the laziest movie studio(at least mainstream) in existence. They're the people who have given us such beloved classics as Little Monsters, Predator, Waterworld, The Man From UNCLE, Marmaduke, Garfield, Mr Popper's Penguins, Richie Rich, Dr Dolittle, Daddy Day Care, I Robot, Fat Albert, Norbit, Eragon, Victor Frankenstein, and Gulliver's Travels...
There isn't a third live-action movie. There's a ton of direct to DVD animated Garfield movies, but no more than two movies in this "live action cannon" (if that's even a thing, I don't know what to call them).
Th-th-th-... whaaa....???? No way. I can't believe it. I won't. There's no way humanity could be that dumb... oh who am I kidding? I just wish there was something left to maintain my faith in humanity.
NC as Garfield. A Coen Brothers Movie Co-starring Steve Buscemi, Frances McDormand, Any random black guy and John Turturro. I actually want to see this now..
For the record, model train enthusiasts love to go for as much realism as possible, so yeah, the Pepsi and Wendy's billboards are not surprising at all
7:08 Maybe it’s like the live action Fairly Odd Parents where is the cartoons Timmy hates that girl who’s obsessed with her but in live action she is Timmy’s Girlfriend
in* and that's also 10 years in the future. As well, Channel Chasers sort of spoiled that Timmy's future is with Tootie, and that's not including all of the hints that he likes her outside of pitying her of being Vicky's sister.
RamtroStudios Dreamworks in a nutshell: A great array of actors, does nothing with them. Just goes to show you, that even with the greatest actors money could buy, if the writing/directing is shit then they will be. You have to work in parallel with each area, a extreme lack of balance.
Hotsex spy They've still make some really good stuff. The Critic himself praised the hell out of Shrek 2, the Kung Fu Panda series and How to Train Your Dragon.
Denver3344 Eh, it's nostalgia, you saw it as a kid, but growing up with a more refined or specific taste you prefer and that nostalgia becomes either something worthwhile or a waste of your time as a youth.
9:00-9:06 That's a great example of how to ruin a perfectly good joke. Garfield going "Chuck E. Cheese!" when John says he'll take him to a place that Garfield will feel pampered and refreshed in is decently funny despite the product placement. However, naming other restaurants just drags out the joke and makes it less funny. 14:23 That headline should be "Pet Show High as Hell." 16:29 Only two more years before Wendy becomes smug and sassy.
This movie, and several others, are a testament to how several big Hollywood studios see us as ATMs, and rather than spend their funds on well-made, artistic movies similar to "Apocalypse Now", "The Godfather" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" or proper family movies such as "Back to the Future" and "The Wizard of Oz" they'd prefer to pump out sub-quality, destitute, poor "movies" such as this one, so to speak.
Sherif El Sharkawy Why can't they just let our all-time favorite classics rest in piece. These classics are timeless, the only way you can make a good film that rivals the originals. Is to expand upon what made those films great in the first place and see what the faults are in those films and fix them. Then when that's done, try to make it's into it's own thing. That's how you create something timeless, obviously it's easier said then done. I have one question, did 2001 A Space Odyssey do poorly at the box office when it was released, and wasn't it critically panned back then too?
Hotsex spy to put it briefly, it received polarizing reviews on initial release but picked up an audience due to its association with psychedelic/counter culture and of course the genius branding of "the ultimate trip", specifically young people tripping balls during the star gate sequence. It actually wound up being on of the highest grossing films that year (I think the Graduate was no. 1, crazy right?) I don't know what you mean by letting classics rip but I wholly believe you can't have a good film without a good script. More power to actually talented creative individuals, the auteurs, and quality control on the writing; less about ego, that's how you make quality, timeless cinema
Hotsex spy In my opinion, some movies are just better left on their own, because sometimes even attempts to capitalize on a movie's plot just end up either derailing the franchise or are just a desperate attempt to make money. Take 'Die Hard' and 'The Terminator', two well-renowned action franchises. Each of them have had follow-up movies in the current decade; 'Terminator: Genisys' and 'Die Hard 4'(or was it 5?) Both movies were sequels to two excellent action movies, yet the new movies were abysmal and were only released to make a quick buck. You can tell just off the lazy writing, uninteresting villains and overall poor production. Movies such as 'Taxi Driver', 'Goodfellas' and 'Pulp Fiction' are the caliber of movies better left alone, since they are exceptional in their own right. If only the business moguls of Hollywood would understand that.
Goldifying I for once, actually agree with what you're saying, I'm in the same mindset about the importance of writing. However, I find that all sides need to be as equally balanced in order to make a film shine. Yes I do think writing should be treated with extra care. Sherif El Sharkawy Yep, another example is the Psycho remakes on a film that really didn't need to be remade, It was Hitchcock's ultimate film, next to Vertigo.
20:00 For a second I actually thought that was part of the movie what the- Also my fourth grade teacher made us watch this. I moved to the back of the class to try and escape this Hell as best I could, while everyone else, including the teacher was somehow roaring with laughter. I half expected to wake up in a sweat because I was having a nightmare. But nope, my life is a nightmare, but I'll never wake up. :'[
Date Masamune Yeeeaaaah...."Garfield," at the very least, I can see having a story. "Marmaduke"....HOW THE HECK DO YOU MAKE A STORY OUT OF THAT?! YOU CAN'T DO A MOVIE OUT OF THAT! "Beetle Bailey". "Calvin and Hobbes". "Hagar the Horrible". Heck, "Cathy"! All of those you can formulate a story out of. "Marmaduke"...just doesn't seem possible. And just by giving the title character the ability to speak, when he never did in the comic, seems to indicate the people behind the movie knew this too.
Date Masamune This was one of those movies where the director pretty much said "You know what character is popular? yeah that one, lets just do a Half ass movie for fast cash!" that sums up Garfield, Marmaduke, Yogi Bear, Scooby Doo, Hulk (2003), and so on... Surprisingly Smurfs and Alvin and the Chipmunks although critic fails they still resemble some connection with the original material and gave both adults and new generation of children something to enjoy, it might not date well as the originals but a certain percentage of the movie at least tried!
- Oh, Brother Who Ate The Lasagna? - Nermal's Crossing - No Kitty For Old Men - The Big Mewowski - Raising Hairizona - Purr After Reading - Hail, Catsir! - Subpurrbicon - The Odiekillers - Intolerable Cruelkitty "Do you have any regrets?" "Garfield...maybe" ...MAYBE??!! Thankful that we have the NC to bring humor to this film in at least SOME way...
You forgot Bone Simple, Barkton Fink, The Catlitter Proxy, Purrgo, The Cat Who Wasn't There, A Serious Cat, True Kitt, Inside Jon Davis and the Ballad of Purrster Scruggs.
It's not just bad movies, some good movies are guilty of product placement. Power Rangers is one of the good ones that does this but at least it's self-aware about it.
Nostalgia Critic: Who wears a suit in a picture with your cat, unless you're a Bond villain? Raises hand: Umm... Jumin Han? BTW, I got a cat food ad when watching this.
War Mach and chee My family and I had a couple in the past that never returned and have been presumed dead. That's why I was so overprotective of one of my own when I got her at age 8, even though she was mainly an indoor cat.
the scene in the beginning of the video, if this was a movie being made in that way with effort, i would actually pay money to see it, good job critic.
Lorenzo Music, the longtime voice actor who played Garfield, officially played Peter from The Real Ghostbusters back in the late 1980's way before his passing.
I’ve never seen any episodes of The Garfield Show ever since it aired on TV. I think it’s probably because I was watching Codename: Kids Next Door, or Duck Dodgers on Cartoon Network.
+julianarwen I remember reading that Doug doesn't *hate* pokemon , he just hasn't really played any of the games and was too old for the games when they came out. He mostly just plays it up for comedic effect.
His hatred of Pokemon is shown in his Pokemon the First Movie Review and The Conquest of the Commercials at 20:35. It's nothing serious, it's just a recurring joke in the series.
Doug doesn't hate it. By the time it aired in America, he was in high school and watching other shows at the time. He wasn't the right age to love it. Me, for example, I was at the age range, but it just didn't appeal to me. Even now, people are surprised that I don't like Pokemon, the games or the anime.
Even though the casting wasn't the biggest problem in this movie, I think it could use a few rearrangements. And I think I speak for my fellow Parks and Recreation fans by saying that Nick Offerman would be a great Garfield. Even better, Chris Pratt as Jon and Aubrey Plaza as Liz.
I think I see how this movie got made.
Bill Murray signed on because he thought the writer was a Cohen brother...
Producers approached a BUNCH of companies saying "Want your product to be in a Garfield movie?" And the companies gave them money...
And they hired two of the cheapest, yet prettiest looking actors to play the bland yet attractive leads.
All the while the writer spent one evening shitting out the script.

Dear Hollywood,
knock off the CGI and just start employing animation. Imagine how much better and truer to the source material it would be if you did it more like Who Framed Roger Rabbit. That movie still holds up to this day.
well, the whole point of that movie was that animated characters can come to life in the real world. So that wouldn't really work anywhere else.
Unless we have actual hand drawn animation instead of real people at all, it wouldn't work. If we had that many skilled hand drawn animators out there it would make it much easier to have this kind of stuff, but unfortunately the skill isn't there, as now we have computers to make it a tad faster and easier.
CGI is animation
Yes. If the CGI wasn't there it would have been completely fine.
Completely.
"It works in Roger Rabbit because you're supposed to know that he's not there" You're kidding me, right?
"who the hell puts Pepsi and wendy's stickers on their train set?!?" most modellers do to add in the extra detail
That's just pointless in the context of the film in any case. It's not like Jon was a train enthusiast. No, he's a polka freak.

Hey Generic Actor, are you gonna do this to every comment that says something negative about a film? Yeah, god forbid someone not find a film perfect, but its OK to lower someones self esteem by saying "nobody cares about you!"
Sick bitch.
***** I wasn't going to like it, but now I'm going to like it.
***** NC used to do requests. He did Digimon and Pokemon, but that was a long time ago.
Maybe he only does a request if thousands of different people ask?
Even the genius of Bill Murray couldn't pull this off....

The garfield show is more accurate than this!!
*You look shocked*
The Garfield Show is not bad imo.
I enjoy the Garfield show, even though it can be bad sometimes
@@StoopidsMario its good its just the animation is kind of lazy sometimes
Zak Playk Right? I don’t get why everyone hates it. I actually like the show.
If I remember right, the CAT scan joke was even worse in the Spanish version of this film since they didn't even bother to translate it. He just says gato (Spanish for cat) scan, which is not a type of scan at all.
ARC the Clarinet manager there's just no real way to translate the pun into spanish. Nothing to do with the translators really.
My mom didn't want us watching Garfield (she thought he teaches kids to be lazy🙄) so to make it "educational", only let us watch it in the Spanish dub!
11:50 My reaction to the skits
Why?the skits are awesome they make the review more interesting and you want to know what happens next.and i think nostalgia critic said it best "i love those movies or series that do that "and so do i.
Yeah, I don't hate all the skits, but most of the time they aren't funny, have little to do with anything, last way too long, and distract from the actual review. Especially the daredevil skit, where they literally just reinact the movie their reviewing
It's ironic how often NC criticizes bad acting in his reviews, since pretty much everyone involved in his skits - including himself - are just as terrible at acting.
Nyxter x Ok, I thought the skit was funny and well-done, but holy hell did your comment make me laugh
Qwazzy So basically what you're saying is that you can't criticize anything unless you can do better.
Meh, classic Hollywood-like thing: taking a popular franchise and fills it with overused tropes that doesn't correspond to the source material at all.
Don't forget about filling it with ads/product placement.
+Logan Mulliniks The Demon Ninja
I know! Good thing the studios are more independent and don't need Hollywoods help.
If these movies annoy you, then stay as far away as possible from any other movies made by Davis Entertainments, possibly the laziest movie studio(at least mainstream) in existence. They're the people who have given us such beloved classics as Little Monsters, Predator, Waterworld, The Man From UNCLE, Marmaduke, Garfield, Mr Popper's Penguins, Richie Rich, Dr Dolittle, Daddy Day Care, I Robot, Fat Albert, Norbit, Eragon, Victor Frankenstein, and Gulliver's Travels...
19:23 Garfield - I think I recognized that whine.
Nc as Garfield - It’s similar to the people who want their money back!
I gotta say, the keys, Doug's fingernails, and air are infinitely more entertaining than the movie
Gazorpazorpfield was more entertaining.
Give me my fucking enchiladas
Pluendi I ATE THOSE FOOD
I like gazirpazorpfield, but I like ball fondlers more
Pluendi two brothers is better
Gimme my darn enchiladas!
The sequel is even worse. Yes, there's a _sequel_.
And a third.
God help us all.
There isn't a third live-action movie. There's a ton of direct to DVD animated Garfield movies, but no more than two movies in this "live action cannon" (if that's even a thing, I don't know what to call them).
I suppose technically there is a canon, though neither film ever refernces the other.
Th-th-th-... whaaa....???? No way. I can't believe it. I won't. There's no way humanity could be that dumb... oh who am I kidding? I just wish there was something left to maintain my faith in humanity.

I remember loving this as a kid. I deeply regret it.
Puberty and JLH, I'm not ashamed
Same case with literally EVERY movie I watched.
7:08
Maybe it’s like the live action Fairly Odd Parents where is the cartoons Timmy hates that girl who’s obsessed with her but in live action she is Timmy’s Girlfriend
in* and that's also 10 years in the future. As well, Channel Chasers sort of spoiled that Timmy's future is with Tootie, and that's not including all of the hints that he likes her outside of pitying her of being Vicky's sister.
First Osmosis Jones, now THIS?!
Nostalgia Critic loves to shred my guilty pleasures. What's next, Shark Tale?
He already did that for Dreamworks-uary.
RamtroStudios Well, he took on the nostalgia of the 90's and maybe 80's but NOW he's taking on the early 00's.
RamtroStudios He tore that apart in Dreamworks-uary.
RamtroStudios Dreamworks in a nutshell:
A great array of actors, does nothing with them.
Just goes to show you, that even with the greatest actors money could buy, if the writing/directing is shit then they will be. You have to work in parallel with each area, a extreme lack of balance.
Hotsex spy They've still make some really good stuff. The Critic himself praised the hell out of Shrek 2, the Kung Fu Panda series and How to Train Your Dragon.
I liked this movie when i was young :(
Same
+Destroyer120296 That's sad. You should feel shame.

Nah. This movie is bad but young children tend to not be very judgmental or fully understand what they see.
You can really just lul children into anything when they're young.
Destructive winds
You could with me.
Just before the scene transitions to the room at 4:36, you can see Rob putting a drill in his mouth. Glorious.
Bacon Flavored Cactus lol
I just noticed that. Glorious indeed.
I want Doug's version of Garfield to be real. Please!
Directed by the Coen brothers starring Steve Buscemi or Jeff Bridges
I love how Doug's brother goes and try to eat the electrical screwdriver at the last second. Good job with the filler in the background.
Wow, I liked this movie when I was a kid. Now.... It's a different story
Denver3344 Eh, it's nostalgia, you saw it as a kid, but growing up with a more refined or specific taste you prefer and that nostalgia becomes either something worthwhile or a waste of your time as a youth.
Denver3344 Yep, that's the cursed power of Nostalgia for you!!!
Denver3344 I liked Baby Geniuses as a kid. You don't know shame, man...
I saw this movie in the theater when I was 15 and I never liked it. And I'm a lifelong Garfield fan.

Oh God, REALLY?!?!
9:00-9:06 That's a great example of how to ruin a perfectly good joke. Garfield going "Chuck E. Cheese!" when John says he'll take him to a place that Garfield will feel pampered and refreshed in is decently funny despite the product placement. However, naming other restaurants just drags out the joke and makes it less funny.
14:23 That headline should be "Pet Show High as Hell."
16:29 Only two more years before Wendy becomes smug and sassy.
Two years later
@@jaydentroeger980 two years later
This movie, and several others, are a testament to how several big Hollywood studios see us as ATMs, and rather than spend their funds on well-made, artistic movies similar to "Apocalypse Now", "The Godfather" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" or proper family movies such as "Back to the Future" and "The Wizard of Oz" they'd prefer to pump out sub-quality, destitute, poor "movies" such as this one, so to speak.
+Sherif El Sharkawy
You just summed up modern Hollywood.
Sherif El Sharkawy Why can't they just let our all-time favorite classics rest in piece. These classics are timeless, the only way you can make a good film that rivals the originals. Is to expand upon what made those films great in the first place and see what the faults are in those films and fix them. Then when that's done, try to make it's into it's own thing.
That's how you create something timeless, obviously it's easier said then done. I have one question, did 2001 A Space Odyssey do poorly at the box office when it was released, and wasn't it critically panned back then too?
Hotsex spy to put it briefly, it received polarizing reviews on initial release but picked up an audience due to its association with psychedelic/counter culture and of course the genius branding of "the ultimate trip", specifically young people tripping balls during the star gate sequence. It actually wound up being on of the highest grossing films that year (I think the Graduate was no. 1, crazy right?)
I don't know what you mean by letting classics rip but I wholly believe you can't have a good film without a good script. More power to actually talented creative individuals, the auteurs, and quality control on the writing; less about ego, that's how you make quality, timeless cinema
Hotsex spy In my opinion, some movies are just better left on their own, because sometimes even attempts to capitalize on a movie's plot just end up either derailing the franchise or are just a desperate attempt to make money.
Take 'Die Hard' and 'The Terminator', two well-renowned action franchises. Each of them have had follow-up movies in the current decade; 'Terminator: Genisys' and 'Die Hard 4'(or was it 5?) Both movies were sequels to two excellent action movies, yet the new movies were abysmal and were only released to make a quick buck. You can tell just off the lazy writing, uninteresting villains and overall poor production. Movies such as 'Taxi Driver', 'Goodfellas' and 'Pulp Fiction' are the caliber of movies better left alone, since they are exceptional in their own right. If only the business moguls of Hollywood would understand that.
Goldifying I for once, actually agree with what you're saying, I'm in the same mindset about the importance of writing. However, I find that all sides need to be as equally balanced in order to make a film shine. Yes I do think writing should be treated with extra care.
Sherif El Sharkawy Yep, another example is the Psycho remakes on a film that really didn't need to be remade, It was Hitchcock's ultimate film, next to Vertigo.

Why would he bring his Grade-A material to this
I thought the Lorax's butt was the best one liner on garfield himself.
My favorite is either Charmander's pubichair, or the wet oompa loompa armpit
I liked Starfire's moldy cooch 😂😂
20:00 For a second I actually thought that was part of the movie what the-
Also my fourth grade teacher made us watch this. I moved to the back of the class to try and escape this Hell as best I could, while everyone else, including the teacher was somehow roaring with laughter. I half expected to wake up in a sweat because I was having a nightmare. But nope, my life is a nightmare, but I'll never wake up. :'[
How did you survive this nightmare?
I had to watch the cat in the hat as well so yah fresh hell

I love that movie
The second one, apparently
Alisha Dee The remake.
Well the second one was pretty bad. In fact I thought both weren't that good

Since you reviewed Garfield, I feel it is only natural that you review Marmaduke in the near future.
***** No need to be a dick dude. Be more considerate of people's feelings in the future.
Date Masamune There was a Marmaduke movie???
What. . . . Was Marmaduke from?
Date Masamune Yeeeaaaah...."Garfield," at the very least, I can see having a story. "Marmaduke"....HOW THE HECK DO YOU MAKE A STORY OUT OF THAT?! YOU CAN'T DO A MOVIE OUT OF THAT! "Beetle Bailey". "Calvin and Hobbes". "Hagar the Horrible". Heck, "Cathy"! All of those you can formulate a story out of. "Marmaduke"...just doesn't seem possible. And just by giving the title character the ability to speak, when he never did in the comic, seems to indicate the people behind the movie knew this too.
Date Masamune This was one of those movies where the director pretty much said "You know what character is popular? yeah that one, lets just do a Half ass movie for fast cash!" that sums up Garfield, Marmaduke, Yogi Bear, Scooby Doo, Hulk (2003), and so on...
Surprisingly Smurfs and Alvin and the Chipmunks although critic fails they still resemble some connection with the original material and gave both adults and new generation of children something to enjoy, it might not date well as the originals but a certain percentage of the movie at least tried!
At the start of the video, Critic looked like Tom Cruise from Tropic Thunder.
I can not comprehend this stupidity
Oh my god you are every where!!
20:10 ok those were kind of shitty effects, but they weren't out of place in this movie! Believed it for a second or two lol.

Lorenzo Music, the longtime voice actor who played Garfield, officially played Peter from The Real Ghostbusters back in the late 1980's way before his passing.
I’ve never seen any episodes of The Garfield Show ever since it aired on TV. I think it’s probably because I was watching Codename: Kids Next Door, or Duck Dodgers on Cartoon Network.

15:10 That’s me when I encounter an argument scene in a movie.
Wow that Coen Brothers parody at the beginning was ON POINT! Great job guys.
If you hate Pokemon, then how do you explain that Charmander joke at 12:34
Jacob Wood cuz it was a joke. I don't see how it had anything to do with him hating Pokémon
His hatred of Pokemon is shown in his Pokemon the First Movie Review and The Conquest of the Commercials at 20:35. It's nothing serious, it's just a recurring joke in the series.
Doug doesn't hate it. By the time it aired in America, he was in high school and watching other shows at the time. He wasn't the right age to love it.
Me, for example, I was at the age range, but it just didn't appeal to me. Even now, people are surprised that I don't like Pokemon, the games or the anime.
Referencing it has nothing to do with whether he hates it or not.
i mean, can we avoid every mistake we type on the internet with 'it was a joke'?
I'm watching this getting ready for the Garfield 2 review

Even though the casting wasn't the biggest problem in this movie, I think it could use a few rearrangements. And I think I speak for my fellow Parks and Recreation fans by saying that Nick Offerman would be a great Garfield. Even better, Chris Pratt as Jon and Aubrey Plaza as Liz.
I won't buy Chris Pratt at all as Jon with that physique he has, unless he gets thinner.
+SomethingAboutSean Offerman would make a fantastic Garfield.
Chris Pratt would make a good Odie
+Lulu Molloy Danny DeVito would also be a good voice for Garfield.
