WRETCHED: Do the kids even care about Garfield in 2006?
In Tim Hill’s wretched sequel, Garfield and Odie sneak along when their Ryan Seacrest–like owner, Jon (Breckin Meyer), travels to England to pop the question to his equally chipper girlfriend (Jennifer Love Hewitt). Meanwhile, a jilted British lord (Billy Connelly) plans to take possession of a sprawling castle estate by killing Prince, its rightful heir and Garfield’s blue-blooded doppelgänger. When one cat is mistaken for the other, high jinks, farting, and lasagna ensue. In a flaccid caricature of his obnoxious-asshole roles, Bill Murray returns as the voice of ’80s domestic ennui. But what four-year-old today gives half a shit? And why is Garfield computer-generated while Odie is a mute real-life dog and the rest of the barnyard animals move their mouths and talk in human voices? At least it’s fun to pick out a new generation of British sellouts: Lucy Davis from The Office, Rhys Ifans.
