This film is just an insult for the cartoon series and for Garfield fans, which grew up with those.
Surprisingly bad about this film is the animation, which looks like 1D, although it is 3D-CGI. The colours which were used are very flashy and unnatural, even in the real world, which has almost no differences to Garfield's comic world. Some animation looks very wrong, for example a scene, where Garfield has shaken ketchup out of its bottle.
The content can't make it up, because there aren't any jokes - and this is really a surprise, because that film was written by Garfield creator Jim Davis. It looks like if Davis would have taken early dialogues, which he didn't want to use in a strip.
The characters are in contrast to the comics and cartoon series unlikable, and Garfield itself isn't recognisable anymore, because the normally sarcastic cat became very gentle.
My opinion: Very bad. That film can be seen by young children, all other people should let the fingers from that film, even ingrained Garfield fans.
