Garfield the Movie

Wow. Some things are better left ...alone. Garfield is a great comic strip, but as a movie, eh, it kind of loses something. Considering how difficult it likely was to bring this strip to the big screen, I guess it's ok as it is. But I noted some strip-to-screen inconsistencies. Like for instance, the fact that Nermal should be a kitten sized cat, and that Jon isn't supposed to be decent looking (he'd have more normal dates in the strip wouldn't he?), and Liz the vet doesn't want to date Jon, yet in the movie, she does. If you're going to bring the essence of a comic strip to the big screen, I think it's a good idea to stick to the characteristics of it's characters. Still, it was kinda cute. And any movie I can watch all the way through is ok with me. Like this one.
