![]() This week, my new movie comes out, inspired (I am happy to report) by the gratifying box-office success of the previous one. What Roeper should have done for perfect consistency is complain that Dennis was not animated in "Dennis the Menace."īut forget his review of "Garfield." No use mewling over spilt milk. ![]() Read my lips: I am a character in a comic strip. One of Roeper's complaints was that I was animated and all of the other characters in the movie were "real." Do you have any idea how a statement like that hurts an actor who has worked all of his life as a media cat? Yes, Richard Roeper, I was animated. ![]() He went on forever attacking Ebert for liking "Garfield." This from a man with enough taste to praise " Duma." How very disappointing. Ebert, the smart and handsome one, gave thumbs up to my first movie, but Roeper, the other one, gave thumbs down and was particularly unkind. ![]() Last night, for example, he watched "Cat People" - which, judging by the soundtrack, had no cats in it.īut I digress. I need to read movie reviews because Jon watches DVDs all the time and likes to have me within petting distance, and I need advance warning about movies I will want to avoid, so I can slink off for a snooze under the sofa. Garfield gets into a fight with other dogs, which propels Odie to the centre of the ring, where he does a successful impromptu dance to "Hey Mama" by the Black Eyed Peas.There will be malcontents who claim I am not the real author of this review, because how could a cat know that after you mention a character in a movie, you include the name of the actor in parentheses? Do these people believe a cat lives in a vacuum? I read all the movie reviews, especially those of Ebert, a graceful and witty prose stylist with profound erudition, whose reviews are worth reading just for themselves, whether or not I have any intention of viewing the movie. Liz is a judge in a canine talent event, so Odie is brought there. Garfield, on the other hand, begins to loathe Odie and makes jokes about him at any given opportunity. Jon tries to ask Liz out, but a misunderstanding results in Jon being handed custody of Odie, a lovely, energetic, and sociable dog. Jon has started taking Garfield to the veterinarian on a regular basis so that he may see veterinarian Dr. Aside from Jon, Garfield has an unexpected connection with Louis, a helpful mouse, and socialises with Nermal and Arlene, two other neighbourhood cats. ![]() Garfield, an overweight, sluggish, and free-spirited orange cat, lives in Los Angeles with his owner Jon Arbuckle and spends his time antagonising Jon and tormenting his ferocious Dobermann neighbour, Luca. ![]()
