I cannot think of a single reason for another Garfield movie, and apparently, the people who made this couldn’t, either. It reminds me of the legendary comment about \u201cNancy,\u201d which, like \u201cGarfield,\u201d was originally a comic strip known for the spareness of its design and the helium-weight lightness of its humor. When asked to explain \u201cNancy,\u201d someone once said, \u201cIt takes less energy\u00a0to read it than to skip it.\u201d Those who have children pestering them to see \u201cGarfield\u201d will feel the same way about this film. It\u2019s not awful. It may be too much to say that kids will enjoy it, but it is probably fair to say they will feel that they have been entertained.
