Not sure if some will willfully misunderstand my review summary line. So just to be clear: no pun intended. Having said that, the movie does have quite a lot of jokes aimed at a grown up crowd. I doubt any kids know Marvin Gayes Sexual Healing - well I surely do hope they don't know it - that would be a whole different beast to discuss.
I did watch Garfield as a kid - and he may be one (if not the) best known felines in the world. So it was only a matter of time to do another movie ... and maybe a sequel to this, if it is successful enough. If you suspend your disbelief and go with the flow ... there are a lot of things that don't make much sense. One of them being the financial status of our main human - who is also Garfields ... well I would say owner, but it probably is the other way around.
Animation is great, voice actors are amazing (and you surely will recognize quite a few of the speakers. Jokes are mostly good, the fact that we never really feel any danger for Garfield (or anyone in his proximity) is one thing ... and sometimes it tries to hard - see the break in and several sequences that pretend Garfield is in real danger.
As I already mentioned, a lot of things do not make much sense ... try to not just not overthink it ... try to think as little as possible ... and you'll be fine ... you can even argue that it was on purpose (this not making sense - see cars on the road that would actually crash into each other) ... this is meant to be silly then.
Fourth wall is broken from the start too - you should know quite fast if this is something you can enjoy ...
