Just saw that and was going to post about it. I don't think the other reviews are going to be much better. Usually the critics are pretty united in their bashing. It's really all going to come down to whether the commercials have been successful in marketing the movie to little kids.

Yeah, I agree, it's all about the marketing. I don't think reviews are going to matter much with a movie aimed at kids so young.

Looks like all 3 of the openers are getting bad reviews.

Blah.

Did anybody notice the header on the title bar?

"Garfield (2004): Breckin Meyer, Bill Murray, Liz Wilson, Peter Hewitt..."

?!?

omg, and when you click on the "more" part .. it lists Liz Wilson AND Love with Liz getting top billing over Love .. how pathetic is that?!?!

Oh well, less than 2130 minutes to go here until it opens .. woohoo! Bring it on, rotten tomatoes and all! :D

oh man...they are tearing the movie up....

they do mention that the on screen chemistry between jenny and "Jon" is pretty good...

and mention that JLH's breasts are fantastic...

in the Leno interview, i remember her saying she was only in the movie a lil bit anyway...

oh well...i think i understand now why bill murray was embarrassed and distancing on Letterman.

i'll prob wait for the video to come out...which unfortunately, won't be too long a wait.

Godbless Jenny...i hope her other new movies can showcase her talents better.

Fans at the official JLH board are saying that she isn't in the movie much. Someone even said that she's in it for only about 5 minutes! Is that true? If so, that sucks.

06-11-2004, 06:35 PM

She's on longer than that. Hers is a supporting role, but she gets some decent screen time.

It looks like you really like it or you really hate it.

The thing is this movie is aimed at kids and families, no of whom are going to write movie reviews on the Net. My guess is that these "reviewers" are mostly teenagers and young "twentysomethings" that are obviously not going to like it.

well teh movie was tight.......even the ltitle intro movie with the squirrel from Ice Age

06-13-2004, 08:14 PM

it was only 86 minutes, but it kept my attention throughout the whole movie. There were some cheezy parts, but it's PG, there has to be. The dog dancing in it was hilarious...and holy crap jennifer love hewitt was soooo pretty in it. I dropped my water when they first showed her. So overall it was alright, it was worth 3.50 to see love, that's for sure.

PVCCrunr04 · 06-14-2004, 12:55 PM

you only paid 3nice man I paid 7.00 but overall it was good I must admit the best scene was at the dog competiton whre Garfield is running away from all the dogs so yeah it was good
