With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for fans of a well-timed joke and adventure lovers. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too. Fans of Mickey's Christmas Carol should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 24 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Garfield is taken on a camping trip by Jon, much against his will. A series of very funny disasters follow. But not all is well, as a panther has escaped from the local zoo and is stalking them. Will our hero survive to eat another lasagna and kick Odie off the table again?
