The Garfield Movie Synopsis
Garfield (voiced by Chris Pratt), the world-famous, Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat, is about to have a wild outdoor adventure! After an unexpected reunion with his long-lost father – scruffy street cat Vic (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) – Garfield and his canine friend Odie are forced from their perfectly pampered life into joining Vic in a hilarious, high-stakes heist.
Is the world ready for a Garfield heist movie? I would have to say yes. This is also not the first time the character has been brought to life in theaters. Two movies were released in the mid-2000s and combined to gross over $350 million at the box office. So, the interest is there. Those films featured Bill Murray as the star, so YMMV over if you think Pratt is an upgrade there. It certainly won't hurt, as he has now starred in some of the biggest blockbusters of the past decade, from Jurassic World to the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. Earlier this year, he helped propel The Super Mario Bros. Movie to over $1 billion worldwide, if not for Barbie, the highest gross of the year. People come to see him, and that can only help here. This past weekend, one of the highest-rated Super Bowl commercials was Pratt starring as the Pringles can guy.
The Garfield Movie will be released in theaters on May 24th.
