Garfield the Movie

VERY funny!

I&apos;ve been a somewhat infrequent Nostalgia Critic watcher (I guess his swearing and such makes me uncomfortable), but I&apos;m quite glad I watched this one. It was just...well, hilarious! I&apos;d never watched the movie in question, but I&apos;d always suspected it was the sort of thing that would be appropriate for his review series...and, well, it was! This review turned out to be a great marriage of criticism and humor, and for the most part the two seemed one and the same, which I think is how it should be most of the time. Some of the most hilarious things include his criticism of the product placement, Odie&apos;s &quot;trick&quot; and the villains&apos; motivations, how the CGI Garfield wasn&apos;t a part of the world at all, and a whole lot more. He just never skipped a beat, and I enjoyed his constant stream of humorous paraphrases for the movie&apos;s horrible Garfield. Something I especially appreciated was him expounding on how the movie failed to properly adapt and capture what made the comic strip so enjoyable for so long, as it showed how the movie failed in doing what it set out to do.

There was one part of the review that I thought was relatively weak: the skit at the beginning. It was kinda funny, but it wasn&apos;t anywhere near as funny as the actual review and easily overstayed its welcome, so you kind of just want him to get on with it. But don&apos;t let that turn you off - the rest of it is definitely worthwhile.

The Nostalgia Critic reviews a movie they made about Garfield, because comic strips turned movies are always a good idea. Come on, it's a CGI cat in a live-action world. It's bland, boring, and fails miserably at comedy. Too bad the Coen Brothers didn't make it, then it would have been awesome. Want proof? The Walker Broth...er, Coen Brothers' Garfield mini-movie precedes the review.
