The first one was excellent. The way in which Garfield moves and talks is just so well done. Even though this film doesn't have any of Garfield's "buddies" in it other and Odi it does have a more interesting plot and a brilliant villain played by old Billy Connolly himself. One of the best characters though is the dumb dog (voice by Vinnie Jones!)who'll have you in hysterics! For an hour and a half's good fun and great laughs there really isn't much to beat this film. Let's hope there's a third one in the offing ...

My daughter just loved Garfield 1 and so to save our sanity of watching the same film over and over we got this one. She loves it as much as the first and for any Garfield fan it's very amusing.
I haven't watched Garfield part one, so I sadly have no base for comparison on this one. If I were to guess, though, I'd say that this film (like Garfield) seems to capture some of the Garfield humour of the books and cartoons, but somehow isn't the whole ticket.
Don't get me wrong - this film is very watchable, indeed I watched it all and it is basically quite a good film/ family comedy. But if you've seen a few Hollywood blockbusters, you can recognise a film that is popcorn fodder and this film definitely falls into that category.
That said, this film does have one redeeming feature - the performance of Billy Connolly. Where most of the other bits are nothing particularly special, Billy Connolly gives one of his best charactor performances as Lord Dargis. Where many of the comedy scenes involving Garfield and his doppleganger Prince would be fairly funny for children, Billy Connolly provides a performance that turns a rather dry villain into one that is genuinely funny.
And, to be fair, the plot is at least original, in that the idea of a cat inheriting an estate hasn't really featured in many films, although the 'wife swap' scenario of the plot definitely has.
So, if you're lazing about on a Sunday afternoon and this film pops on TV, it is definitely worth a watch. But is it worth renting or buying? Sadly no. Go and watch the original cartoons (e.g. Garfield As Himself), where the crafty yet slovenly charactor comes across much stronger than in the 2D version portrayed here...

HILARIOUS AS EVER!
GARFIELD 2 is even funnier than the first film! The new cat, Prince, Garfield's twin, is, if possible, even funnier than garfield! Some parts are actually intense! Read more

Excellent Sequel
Funny and very 'Garfield' as Bill Murry does him justice once again. Billy Connelly is also good in this but I can't help but think John Cleese would have been better. Read more

Entertaining enough but...
Maybe it was taking Garfield out of his usual environment that made Garfield 2 not quite click with me. Read more

It's the old switcheroo!
Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties is what it is, a thoroughly predictable, light-hearted comedy constructed around the old switcheroo, one of the oldest story tricks in the book. Read more
