“Am I really expected to review this? Are there any doubts as to my opinions regarding the film? Seriously? Sigh. All right. Whatever. Here: If you loved the first one then go see this; otherwise youu0026#39;ll want to avoid it like Kevin Federline avoids work.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI just donu0026#39;t have the energy to tear this to shreds. Itu0026#39;d be the equivalent of beating up a five-year-old – way too easy to be any fun. After all, itu0026#39;s the five-year-old demographic that the film is targeting. Well, plus the old person audience who thinks all forms of talking animals are cute.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLittle kids will likely enjoy it. I was in a theater full of u0026#39;em, and they cackled at every burp and flatulence joke, and they howled every time Billy Connolly (trying hard to summon John Cleese) got bit in the crotch by a dog or slammed in the head by a household appliance. Meanwhile, I just stared stone-faced at the screen, as if I were at a Paris Hilton poetry reading.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;m sure some of you parents will enjoy it (itu0026#39;s a slight step up from the original), but the majority will most likely be bored beyond comprehension and should probably start trying to convince the wee one that he needs to see Cars again.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll of you fathers who think Jennifer Love Hewittu0026#39;s presence will be your saving grace, well, bad news – sheu0026#39;s hardly in this at all. Sheu0026#39;ll provide you a few minutes of solace but will quickly and cruelly be whisked off screen so that we can be entertained by such images as Garfield bathing in a bidet and a weasel climbing up Connollyu0026#39;s trousers.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYeah.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf that sounds like suitable entertainment to you then by all means, slap those Hamiltons on the counter. Itu0026#39;s your retirement savings that youu0026#39;re gambling with, not mine.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTHE GIST u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEh. Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties is strictly for those who were fans of the first movie, die-hard fans of Garfield, or those two young to form completely coherent sentences.”
