Allison secretly recording Phelous' reaction was gold! XD
True love is suffering through a horrible movie together.
@@shwahgamer exactly
I'd have loved a terrible CG moment where Jon yells "GARFIELD!" and his mouth opens grotesquely wide, like in the comics.
I've said it before, but Homestar Runner put it perfectly about Lorenzo Music voicing Garfield: "Never before has a voice so perfectly communicated...half-closed eyes."
EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY!
Tracy Grandstaff: "Hold my lasagna."
I still see bill Murray voicing Garfield as a response to lorenzo music voicing in the real ghostbusters.
@@jamesoblivion Always beezin' and doozin', never cheezin' or choozin'!
@@Alucard-A-La-Carte Stwong Sad...Batman...thanks for bweaking my cow lamp.
I doubt Bill Murray won't regret voicing the title character of the live action movie version of Wabuu.
I mean Dingo is coming back so it is very much a possibility
@@beegyosh8262 Phelous is the default voice for Wabuu
Phelous and only Phelous is the one tru Wabuu take that heresy out of your mouth sir.... And maybe Chris Pratt... 😏😏😂
Garfield's cynical and meanspirit side really makes the comedy, even makes the heart warming drama in specials.
And Jon being somewhat pathetic was also the joke. He's very much based on Jim Davis (both are even cartoonists) so his being the butt of the jokes and his cat his tormenter was the original point of the strip!
The Garfield movie: Aka The Spirit of Lorenzo Music getting payback at Bill Murray for getting him kicked off the real ghostbusters.
At least it wasn't Dave Coullier voicing Garfield...
I'm absolutely convinced it was the other way around, Murray intentionally taking the role as revenge for his character sounding like Garfield.
@@mightyfilm Lorenzo Music had such a distinctive voice, it's kind of hard _not_ to hear Garfield when you hear him.
@@stephaniewozny3852 It's weird that the Real Ghostbusters had this odd stance about not resembling the movie characters to the point where Ernie Hudson got turned down to play his own character in animated form. And he was an actual voice actor, playing Cyborg in the last season of Super Friends. Yet Maurice LaMarche got away with doing a Ramis impression, even though the producers didn't want it. But Lorenzo, sounding like Lorenzo was a deviously brilliant choice. Some voice actors you hire because they have that one voice that's somehow distinct, yet versatile without major alterations. On a technicality, Peter's voice is a little higher in pitch and a lot more energetic, but it's unmistakably Garfield. While Dave sounds closer to Bill, Lorenzo's take was closer in spirit to the sardonic, always feeling above everything for this Peter. Of course, Dave also had to contend with bad script writing, but that's another subject.
@@stephaniewozny3852 so true.
Your video on the Garfield phone was a better Garfield movie.
Yeah I agree 😊
I love how Odie and Nermal are animals, but then you have an orange cgi nightmare as Garfield. They really couldn't get any fat orange cat to be Garfield. Even lasagna cat did a better job with the comics
Garfield looks like pubes in this movie.
Hosico cat is how I imagine Garfield as a real cat.
@@matane2465 We need more Gazorpazorpfield.
Even Goose the cat from _Captain Marvel_ looks like a closer approximation of a real life Garfield.
@@stephaniewozny3852 Why does Garfield look like pubes in this movie?
Lupa I just wanna say my condolences for Ash. I found out about what happened when I commented on the Mouse Police review Phelous did, & I just thought I’d watch this review y’all did in honor of Ash. That story of how you adopted Ash put me in tears Lupa,how she was already spade & had a bleeding nose, & you chose her. Just beautiful
Phelan and Allison laughing at each other's dorky jokes and impressions >>>>
"Time to eat my gaghsagna" took me out lmao.
"So we just made a huge mistake."
That's how you know the video's going to be good.
What a perfect way to begin a marriage. By reviewing an awfully cheesy cartoon adaptation of the beloved Garfield.
Wait did they get married? I remember they’ve been dating for years but never knew they did…. Then again it’s none of my business since it is their personal lives
And it was all downhill from there...
Don’t you mean “Gar-Halloween-Field”..?
Still better than Ghostbuster 2
wait are they married!? I wasn't sure if they we're still together but seems they are, great!
I like to contend this film is Lorenzo Music's karmic justice for Bill Murray having him replaced with Dave Coulier on Real Ghostbusters.
But he's still alive in an alternate reality voicing Gazorpazorpfield.
If it really went full circle, Lorenzo Music would've got Bill Murray replaced by Dave Coulier from beyond the grave.
@@vgtrp I'm pretty sure Bill Murray is a stoner.
That justice is just the continued existence of Lorenzo's entire body of work as the character. History will not be confused as to who was the best.
@@smb-c3po
It's amazing to me that that single bit from interdimensional cable is funnier than both CGI movies combined.
My big problem with these "Garfield" movies is the fact that the Garfield in these movies is absolutely NOT the Garfield of the comics. If you read the comics, Garfield was a lump. He was lazy, and pretty much immobile, and sarcastic and had a very dim view of life. You watch these movies, and he's dancing, bouncing all over the place, etc.. he moves around like he's on crack mixed with gallons of coffee. This isn't Garfield. Even the old TV cartoons did the character better and more accurate than ANY of these movies. I guess they just assumed that for a kids movie, the characters have to be bouncing all over the place and moving non-stop, like a damn Tom & Jerry cartoon. Garfield isn't Tom and Jerry. He was a lazy, fat, lump who preferred just being in his cat box, covered with a blanket that he peeked out of to anything else. I think that the people who made these Garfield movies, and later shows, never read the comics. At all.
The thing is, they dont seem to know how cats behave. Most cats I have known, want you to do all the work and just laze and move to another corner of the room and laze some more
"We're spending a lot of money on this animation, make the cat move more"
Part of the problem I think is it's clear even if there'd been decent dialogue to work off of I feel like Bill Murray checked out the minute he realized what he was working with or for I guess in this case. I can't imagine what absurd amount of money they had to give him to do the voice work for the sequel.
But yes Lorenzo Music aside, the '80s/90's cartoon was damn near perfection, it wasn't the most perfect it could have been but I think considering what they wanted to do it was a happy medium and at the very least Garfield was fairly on point during the show. Everything Garfield based from the last I'd say 20 years or more is pretty much pure garbage. The movies and cartoons especially were such a joke. Worse versions of the original cartoon and comic strip.
Mmm 🤔 I do wonder why he’s even able to DANCE 😅
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu Yeah, Garfield and Friends, along with the TV Specials of the time, are the cream of the crop when it comes to Garfield.
This movie came out at the peak of my hyperfixation with Garfield, and I remember tiny elementary-schooler me just feeling absolutely crushed, feeling all the joy and hype getting sucked out of me the longer I watched it. Like you said, it just... doesn't feel like any of the characters. Garfield isn't mean enough, same with Liz, Jon isn't a loser, Nermal is... a completely different character and I honestly feel like it's insulting that they even share a name... It's just sad. Even as a kid with less critical thinking skills, it just felt lifeless.
John to Liz: "Can we imagine I kissed you?" "If you imagine I slapped you." Not in this movie.
It's nice to see a loving couple suffer through terrible movies together.
And without doing a run-of-the-mill reaction series, to boot.
The trailer has that "RoB sChNeIdEr iS a CaRrOt" feel...
He's about to find out that being a carrot isn't as easy as it seems!
RaTeD pG-13!
This got me thinking about that one time in a Robot Chicken sketch when Breckin Meyer angrily spouted "I was in Garfield!" Such a lowkey hilarious line!
Oh my god, that candid moment of Phelous just shaking his head in disgust. Magical.
I mean honestly if you watch this movie you can actually feel your soul dying a little bit. Everything about it is just so meh. Then again plenty of franchises that had anthropomorphic characters got this treatment. With the typical predictable consequences.
Frankly Phelan reacting to terrible movies is the only react videos I would love to see. The live readings Allison did were amazing-I love it when you can genuinely see the reactions as they happen.
Jon entered his dog in a contest where Liz was a judge and he won? That's shady!
so she was totally bias
He didn't even enter him either! He just brought Odie to watch a dog show. And then Odie won by randomly going out onto the field and jumping around. He wasn't even a contestant.
@@shwahgamer ah thank you for making that clear. I don’t think I ever caught that 😅
I demand a rematch with a new judge. There is a clear conflict of interest here.
Garfield getting winded after just a few steps _was_ a joke in the cartoon. He was jogging with Jon.
It honestly blows me away that you have not changed your location in 13 plus years. It makes it more special since so many other TH-cam shows have moved locations and what not. It’s so cool that this place has remained the exact same since I was watching old Phelous and Mortal Komedy as a kid.
We need to do a remake of the Garfield movie written, directed, and starring Neil Breen. "Isn't that inhumane?"
Only if its a co-op with Tommy Wiseau and John De Hart , that would be one epic movie 😃
now The Snob has a headache and he doesn't know why XD
He died regretting it. Thankfully that was only in Zombieland.
Phelous's Segal impression is god tier woah
Seagal: Garfield, you suck.
Coullier-field: AWW, CUT IT OUT!
Seeing Garfield spending half his screentime dancing really begs the question as to how, despite that level of exercise, he's still a huge lump.
Especially with Jon not paying that much attention to him and therefore probably not feeding him all that much.
In re: Jon not yelling "GARFIELD!"... say what you might about the terrible Alvin and the Chipmunks movies, but... at least Jason Lee gets to say "ALLLLLLVIN!" In fact, I wouldn't have been surprised if that was the entire audition.
I remember there being a bit of charm to the first Chipmunks movie because of Jason Lee. His performance was just... really sincere? Like, not emotionally effecting, but he knew the kind of movie he was in but put in the effort.
@@mastermarkus5307 the 1st movie was quite enjoyable
@@mastermarkus5307 I'd kinda disagree on that because Dave was way more sincere in the cartoons,he was kinda just intimidating in the movies
I'm glad we learned our lesson about miscasting celebrities!
Also did you hear about the new cast of the Mario movie?
That is funny, good sir.
In all fairness, jack black and KMR as bowser and kamek is fine the way it is
Whos KMR? 🧐
@@randalgraves6979 Kevin Michael Richardson, aka pretty much the only actual voice actor in the cast.
Mario looks too much like starlord to me I guess the producer is a fan of Super Mario Galaxy
I can't explain how happy it made me to see you guys in that thumbnail. I was like yes! A new video from Phelan and Allison! Thank you for being you guys 🤗
Congrats on getting married you guys!
An early treat from Allison and Phelan! Thanks a bunch

One of the Garfield trade paperbacks has an interview with Davis, where one of the questions was about what happened to Lyman, and his response was "Don't look in Jon's basement!" It was unreal.
Well at least Jon and Liz are actually characters from the comics and cartoons, unlike those bland OCs Patrick and Grace from the live action Smurfs movies.
*Has war flashbacks to Katy Perry's Smurfette...*
Okay, those films were just insulting
They should do videos on those too. The reason why the Smurfs movies turned out that way was dumb too. Originally it was going to be closer to the source material, but still "live action." Which wouldn't have been horrible probably. But then Sony picked up the rights, saw that the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie was a big hit, and decided to make it more like that instead. (With the added complication of putting Smurfs in the real world in a similar way it happened in Enchanted. Whereas in the Chipmunks, they're just real chipmunks that can talk for no reason.)
There was a universe where Garfield was played by Jack Nicholson as Jim Davis originally invisioned the character sounding like.
All right that sounds pretty interesting. I guess it sounds better in my mind than it probably actually would though.
I almost didn't want to watch this because just knowing this movie exists gives me second-hand embarrassment.
Luckily, it's you guys, so it was worth it.
Well look on the bright side: it introduced to me and many others that Garfield exists AND we have Phelous to talk about the classic Garfield stuff from before my time 😊❤
This was my favorite movie as a child. This, and the Garfield “Tale of two Kitties” thing. I just. I ate that shit UP. I adored CGI Garf.
I can definitely relate with Allison on her Ash adoption story. It's been over 25 years but when I got my first cat (a tortie too!) we were at the pet shop (yup, sorry. None of us knew at the time, all my other cats have been rescues) and there were two kittens, a chill male gray tabby and a restless mewling tortoiseshell that just really wanted to get out.
I got my kitty (shorthair mix) because she came out of hiding to give me affection. In hindsight i think she was playing nice to try to get out into the open world (we're sure she was a barn kitty at some point).
My cat is a beautiful light orange tabby, and I remember seeing a picture of her on the website for the shelter and was surprised that she had been there for months. It turns out that she was pretty anti-social and would throw a fit when the workers tried to pick her up, but I hung out with her a few times (where she wasn't super attentive towards me) and adopted her. The night I got her home, just after she was spayed, she cuddled up next to me in bed. She's still shy and a bit skittish, but her biggest attitude problems were just because she found the shelter too loud and stressful.
Are they married or something? Cause their chemistry is like so strong.
Correct
Kinda makes you think, when a zero budget, zero reputation cast, parody as "Lasagna Cat" has way better acclaim than this movie. The Garfield movie at least garnered 153 millions. Not sure it is a ground breaking win though, given the big actors salaries and promotional/distribution costs.
I mean it was enough to greenlight a sequel though it might have already been in production when the first one rolled out. Either way the second one was an even bigger fart in the wind forgotten as quickly as it was released.
Apparnetly the Garfield Show even had an episode that noted Lyman's dissapearance, cultimating in his return. It was evne a four-parter.
Was he posing as a Sasquatch or was that only in the tie-in Kaboom comic books?
I saw this movie in theaters when I was 10 years old, and even back then I was confused by a lot of the choices they made.
Dang, you were critical of movies at age 10? At that age, the concept of a movie being legitimately bad (as opposed to just a boring grownup movie that personally didn't interest me) was just beyond my comprehension.
I respect the heck out of precocious children.
@@ARCtheCartoonMaster I’m using this against the movie. I was a moron when I was 10 but I still had issues with it back then. That’s how bad the movie is
@@dylanmcartoonell1536 I’m impressed 😊
We should have gotten Garfield's Judgement Day movie
gosh hearing about the comic, they should have released that
Yes even the great and legendary comedic talents of Bill Murray couldn't stop this train wreck from happening.🚂🚂🚂
Same with Osmosis Jones, lol.
@@johnnyd3158 I still say the animated parts still keep that movie going. I can live without the dumb and gross live action sections.
The sequel is WAY WORSE. It had Tim Curry and John Cleese in this.
@@jakey14344
Wait a minute. Osmosis Jones didn't get a sequel, since it was box office bomb!
@@thatonea-hole
Pretty sure he was referring to a tale of two kitties aka Garfield 2.
I think Quinton Reviews pointed out that the biggest flaw in the Garfield movies is that they saw him as more of a mascot character for advertising & never REALLY paid any attention to ANY of the characters personalities OR how they bounced off of each other in terms of character dynamics. He also pointed out that the Bill Murray Garfield movies have a LOT in common with films that had CGI characters/mascots like the live-action Scooby Doo films, the live-action Chipmunks films, live-action Smurfs films, & the standalone film "Hop." (Check out his "Garfield Movies Are... Weird" video if you want to hear his take on them as well as the animated Garfield films.) Personally, I also feel that the live-action Cats & Dogs has some similarities to the live-action Garfield movies because they illustrate how having CGI animals "interacting" with REAL animals JUST DOESN'T WORK. If anything it just draws MORE attention to the uncanny valley impressions you get from watching the CGI characters! Real animals also CAN'T display the wide range of emotions unlike their animated counterparts so it just adds to the weirdness. Hollywood's misguided ideas on "realistic" CGI also do it no favors. I feel that the ONLY films that have just BARELY avoided these pitfalls are both the Detective Pikachu movie (because Nintendo's intervention kept the film makers from going all in on "realism") & the Sonic film (because of pushback from fans when they saw his HORRIFIC initial look). On a different note, I found out today that "Garfield & Friends" is available to watch on both Tubi TV & Pluto TV at the time of this post so if you haven't seen the show you can check it out now. Both of the aforementioned services are of the "free with ads" variety of streaming services.
Yeah I definitely grew up on Garfield and Friends and even though it's got some glaring flaws and not everything is held up as well as it should for people who grew up on it it's still got that charm. And compared to the absolutely soulless movies I'd take the cartoon any day of the week.
Real animals not being able to emote is a good point. I didn't see it, but aside from the obvious cash grab of celebrity voice actors that I wish wasn't so prominent, and I know the blame can go to the original version of the film for that, but the live-action Lion King movie suffered from that...sorta...still made a ton of money. It's better in an animated medium because the characters can express emotion while also showing it. Disney was going for a super hyper realistic portrayal, but the again, by that logic, since real lions do not act in the way that the Lion King portrayed (that whole monarchy thing), then they shouldn't have made the movie. lol
@@ssjup81 Heh, yeah if they wanted to go with "realism" of any sort then they should've just made a nature documentary. You can't get much more realistic than THAT!
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu I grew up in the 90's & saw that cartoon as a kid too. I'll probably rewatch it sometime after I finish watching "The Real Ghostbusters" cartoon on Crackle. That service doesn't have the whole series, but it does have 54 out of the first 56 episodes. (According to the order of episodes on Wikipedia anyway.) They also have the Extreme Ghostbusters show on there for the time being.
@@averagejoe5145
I wonder why they don't have every episode (probably some weird dumb copyright stuff) I also remember Ghostbusters extreme I love that it continued the storyline from the original Ghostbusters cartoon or I guess I should say The real Ghostbusters.
"Yeah, on our honeymoon, we went to Hawaii for a week, it was wonderful. So what did you guys do?"
Allison and Phelan: "..."
But is it better than Garfield Gets Real? Which ironically ISN'T a live action movie.
I'd rather watch this in terms of visuals. Garfield Gets Real is butt ugly.
Gets Real is the best feature length Garfield
That movie is so ugly and it's weird as hell. I remember being in a class with six graders watching that and the boys were just pretending to be laughing because the movie looked childist and boring.
@@nousukas I tried watching it........mmmmmmm
@@thisisasupersayin376 yeah no….it’s a real weird movie 😅
This movie was my introduction to Garfield, so I didn't realize how off it was, huh
Honestly as a kid I liked it
Mmm I think it was my introduction to him too🤔
correction: IT WAS
@jbiehlable I didn’t say I disliked it🤣 it may explain why I LOVE cheesy media stuff but I love learning about Garfield from Phelous
@jbiehlable It's cool
at last, an old married couple talking about garfield.
congrats, guys!
I still have a fondness for this movie, weird bill murrayness and all. Great crossover, you two. Really happy for you two married kids now!
Strange, when I thought of a Garfield movie back in my childhood, I imagined Garfield being played by a real cat and Odie being animated. Odie is way more cartoonie as most of his humor is physical.
Plus Garfield didn't move his mouth in the cartoons so they could have just rolled with a real cat. It was a surprise the movie did it the other way around.
Garfield still has a distinct look about him that a real cat simply couldn't replicate, and while he might be lazy, the movie would still require him to go through various slapstick that wouldn't be very effective if the character wasn't, well...animated.
Ahahaha.....you have not seen the nightmare that was Marmaduke the movie, have you?
@@SuperCosmicMutantSquid
I have successfully suppressed it so far
"...It wasn't THAT funny."
At least we didn't get Dave Coulier doing Garfield.
Actually that may have worked better. Braindead Garfield might have been funnier than Bill Murray Garfield.
“I LOOOOOOOVE Jon.”
No, if it was Braindead Garfield, then Kirby Morrow would have been doing the voice.
ODIE AND THE REAL GARBUSTERS
The first Garfield special where they did the Garfield and Odie run off and go to the pound story is essentially the plot of Toy Story also, and so was this movie, they just did it wrong.
It's amazing just how many things they got wrong and just how wrong they got them. Also it's one thing to make a movie that's bad but entertaining but it's truly the worst sin to make a boring painful movie.
At least make it a fun trainwreck to watch if you're not going to even try.
I know, right? This is Here Comes Garfield done terrible
Let us celebrate the newlyweds a nice hot tray of lasagna. Congrats you two!
35:45 - Hearing their Steven Seagal impressions is a blessed gift that I hope the whole world may share.
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
Got to agree with Allison that Rocky and Bullwinkle was funnier. Especially that Kenan and Kel cameo.
Rocky and Bullwinkle is by no means a great movie, but it's still better than most of these cartoons-turned-CG/live-action-movies.
You gotta wonder though what the Hell Robert deNiro was doing during that period.
@@jamesoblivion It’s not a good film and can be rough, mainly due to the scenes with Karen Sympathy though Piper Perabo tries at least. And this film is so insane it’s fun.
@@BigEOT3
I forgot that her name was Karen sympathy. Not only a great pun but also hilarious in current circumstances too.
Honestly I thought it was a criminally underrated movie for many reasons. It actually captures the spirit of the cartoon. (Yes some of the jokes weren't the funniest in the movie but you have to admit neither was some of the humor in the cartoon.) The characters being CGI have a purpose in the story and we're photo-realistic and were cell-shaded, the human protagonist was actually a good character that you have _care-and sympathy_ for. The human actors in general were fun and were great, it was "mostly" timeless (minus a few cameos that date the film a bit), they had the voice actors from the cartoons to voice the characters in the film and not celebrities, the 4th wall jokes are even more meta than Muppets and Deadpool combined. And the overall message of keeping in touch with your childhood when you're an adult is something people these days sould easily relate to. I sure do.
You two definitely need to do more episodes together! You have such good chemistry on camera / work off each other super well! ❤
Feel like you really nailed this movie, and in general you two have such great chemistry together. Looking forward to many more collaborations!
My favorite memory of this movie is watching it at the drive-in and immediately watching Shrek 2 afterward to make up for it. Thank God for double features.
And it’s not even Monday …..what a treat🙂
Congrats Phelous and Allison!
I knew this movie had it all dead wrong as soon as I saw Liz... just 100% off in every way. Jon being a (lovable) loser and never getting a date with her is a character thread that is impossible to miss no matter how infrequently you read the strip.
Maybe if they got the other half right, it wouldn't have mattered; but nope. Garfield is lazy, mean and sarcastic by nature, so when he breaks his grumpy streak to hug Pooky or shows genuine concern or appreciation for his friends, it means something. Happy-go-lucky is not something you'd ever describe him as.
IMO I would've preferred a take on His 9 Lives blown up to Fantasia levels of cinematic artistry; but yeah, I know that'd never happen.
Exactly, you CAN have a scene where Garfield is tender and loving and enthusiastic or where John stops trying too hard and genuinely wins Liz over with sincerity. Those happened in the strip and in the show once in a great while. But when those happen less than 20 minutes into the movie, it's a disaster.
Like John adopting Odie (I wrote Eddie by mistake "SHAUUUUUUUUNIE! SOMEBODY ADOPT ME!") to impress Liz I can imagine: like this could have been an arc for both John and Garfield. John realizes that he's a pushover because he's got a heart, and that's what he needs to show Liz, and Garfield can do the Toy Story "I'm jealous but ultimately I need a friend" But they didn't go with that.
Liz can be with Jon while still being the same deadpan, sassy character she has been, the problem is they didn't even try. She has zero sass in these movies.
I love how much fun you guys are obviously having around each other, It really makes the video such an enjoyment.
I had a feeling Phelous would review this eventually
Big "Tom and Jerry movie where they are friends the whole time" energy
Nermel was like THE major annoyance to Garfield in like everything else other than these live actions. It was a funny dynamic.
26:49 What the hell is on that costumed Garfield's mouth??
Man, I hope he was just eating lasagna. Because this gives me some real Gorefield/I'm Sorry Jon vibes. Especially with how oddly disdainful Jim Davis seems. The photograph is deeply cursed, and I don't want to look at it anymore.
Always wondered what your views were on this. Was not disappointed 😂.
Once again my congratulations to the both of you,
Y’all have terrific chemistry! Such a great watch, I really appreciate it guys. 👍🏾
Ah yes, the movie that was made because Bill Murray confused his Coens with Cohens.
Which is where I question his logic because why would he do a Cohens Garfield movie?
@@samirsaleh2889 Maybe he liked their style of comedy and wanted to incorporate that into Garfield?
Honestly it would have actually fit Garfield better; the Coens would have made it very dry and dark
My dad explained it to me, yeah that would have been COOLER
Unrelated but congrats on your marriage, guys! You are so cute together!
2009-2013 was filled with old cartoon shows getting a live action movie, the Smurfs, marmaduke, Garfield, the Flintstones, and Alvin and the chipmunks. Heathcliff was gonna get a live action movie and it had a official trailer made but the movie got canceled for some reason i hope by 2023 heathcliff gets a reboot or a movie
The live action Flinstones movies are actually way older than that, but yeah, you're right.
Well the Flintstones movie apparently did over 30 different writers working on the films production, which would explain why the plot felt so disjointed. Still had a great cast though, except for Roise O’Donnell’s Betty she was extremely miscasted.
Why? Why encourage more pointless live action adaptations?
The 1981 Popeye movie will always be the best live action movie based on a cartoon
David Schwimmer would have been a perfect Jon Arbuckle, and to this day, I still have no idea why they didn't go with him.
Yeah, even if he acted the same way Breckin Meyer did in the Garfield movie we got, he just can effortlessly exude this air of patheticness about him that would do a lot to make him feel more like Jon Arbuckle.
@@Popcultureguy3000 Exactly. It's all about the casting as much as it is the script.
REALLY going to enjoy your thoughts on Garfield 2.
Also, don't know if they'll touch this one with a ten foot pole or not, but they should also tackle that Owen Wilson Marmaduke movie. It makes these films look like they were directed by Orson Welles.
@@b.parker1740 obviously that will be a Movie Nights episode in the spirit of the Olsen Twin film reviews
This should have been released on a Monday. :) Great to see you guys together again. :)
I like how Garfield can dance around endlessly yet can't walk to the end of the driveway without nearly dying of exhaustion.
And now, an amusing factoid: The gender of Nermal is inconsistent in Greece, Nermal is a girl in Garfield and Friends but male in The Garfield Show here
The same is true for the german dub.
I've never believed Bill's excuse that he misunderstood who directed the film and that's why he accepted the role. I think he was just embarrassed after accepting the role for an easy pay day.
OR and I’m guessing here he was DRUNK 😂
I actually kinda have a soft spot for this movie since I grew up with this and Garfield & Friends. It's bad but it's a very nostalgic movie.
Mmm I feel like that too much BECAUSE without this movie I would not know about Garfield 😂
It's such a great video
Wonderful to see this lovely couple reviewing this
I enjoyed it so much 💓 the references wore spot on👍

Nice movie review with Phelous, Lupa and Xpac.
X-Pac brought the energy!
The recent CGI adaptations of popular comic and cartoon characters have all been really hit and miss. You have the occasional good ones like the Scooby Doo movies, then you have all the surprisingly well casted duds like Garfield.
Really uneasy about how this new Super Mario movie with Chris Pratt is going to turn out.
Well it can’t be any worse then the 1993 movie, it will be achievement if it was. Then again Fant4stic ended up being the most of the Fantasic 4 movies so who knows.
@@brandonlyon730
Honestly just the fact it's not live action is enough to make me think it won't be a complete dud. I'm fully prepared to be completely wrong especially with illumination doing the animation but I'm at least hopeful.
@@brandonlyon730 at least the 1993 movie was entertaining even if it's for the wrong reasons, the new movie will likely be some aggressively mediocre bullshit.

it’s pretty crazy the fan edited series “Garfield without Garfield” feels more like Garfield than this
the late Norm Macdonald would have been spectacular voicing Garfield
Hiding dead hookers in Jon's trunk does sound like something Garfield would do.
Honestly, I would love to see Garfield in Cats 2019. Just everyone else obsessed with the Heavyside Lair but Garfield just wanting to fall asleep.
Bill Murray actually tried to fix the movies script, when he first seen it, he said who edited this... causing the editor to quit his career
For a second I thought a guy was creepin' at Phelous and Allison behind them but then I realized that was a poster of Lorenzo, whoops that was dumb of me XD
Yay! A new super wholesome video with Alison!
When you want to do a Coen Brothers Movie but forget to check which Coen Brothers are actually directing the movie.
Bill Murray's regret? I thought that would be Osmosis Jones. You should cover that Phelous since pandemic and all.
Saw a comment that you got married. Congratulations to you both 😍 x
I love the fact that Phelous starts the review with “so we just made a huge mistake”. Which can be taken as a double meaning, not only for reviewing this film but because He and Alison just got married. Congrats you two!! ❤️
