Director: Mark Dindal
Rating: 3/5

Created by Jim Davies in 1976 for the comic called ‘Jon’ in the little-known locally published Pendleton Times, the greedy orange cat with a heart of gold, way back in 2002, featured in 2570 newspapers worldwide with 263 million readers. So Garfield’s popularity was never in question and the opportunity to translate that success into cinema was a lure that never really went away.
This second film to feature the orange cat Garfield, has the Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat have an unexpected reunion with his long lost father Vic (Samuel L. Jackson) - after which Garfield (Chris Pratt) who appears to have abandonment issues, and his canine friend Odie, are forced from their perfectly pampered life into joining Vic in a high-stakes heist.
