Voice Cast: Chris Pratt, Samuel L. Jackson, Hannah Waddingham, Nicholas Hoult, Harvey Guillén, Ving Rhames
Mark Dindal's 2024 Garfield film featuring Chris Pratt as the voice of Garfield offers a fresh take on the lasagna-loving cat. The movie blends Garfield's classic charm with a heist-adventure narrative, resulting in mixed success.
The story starts with the heartwarming tale of how Garfield becomes friends with Jon Arbuckle and is then disrupted by a high-stakes heist involving Garfield and his friends. The supporting cast shines, and visually, the film is a treat with its creative animation. However, it falls short in capturing the essence of its titular character and delivering a compelling story.
While it may be a hit with children and families, those seeking the classic Garfield humor and depth might be disappointed.
