Surely this film deserves more praise then it got. This is the third and best Garfield movie. Don't get me wrong. The previous two Garfield movie didn't show any resistance to the original fat cat and had countless differences with the strip. This is a Garfield movie done right.

The plot of the movie, written by Garfield creator Jim Davis, has Garfield tired of his old comic strip job. This is where we find out where a Garfield strip is made. It's like shooting a movie, but pictures are taken and are digital into a comic strip. The idea is very original. During the scene one part made me laugh unexpectedly and I won't give it away! Garfield then finds a way to get himself into the real world, and Odie gets into it too. Garfield enjoys life in real world, for a little while, but unfortunately he finds out his strip will be canceled, so he decides to try and get him and Odie back to the comic world.

The animation was fine for the movie, it had some best acting ever since the Garfield specials, and there are new and creative characters that you can get to know when you first meet them. There's also some funny parts in the movie and some fun action during the escape from the burning hotel scene.

Garfield Gets Real's not the best Garfield project, but the movie overall is smart, funny, cute, and you should be entertain from this movie. This is why I recommend this movie to Garfield fans young and old.
