Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “America’s favorite feline, Garfield, follows his owner, Jon, to England. The U.K. may never recover, as Garfield is mistaken for a look-alike, regal cat who has inherited a castle. Garfield savors the royal treatment afforded by his loyal ‘subjects,’ but his ‘reign’ is in jeopardy. The nefarious Lord Dargis is determined to do away with Garfield, so he can turn the castle into a resort.”

Negative—We didn’t get to far in the movie, because Jon’s girlfriend took the Lord’s name in vain when he surprised her by showing up in London. For those offended by things like this, this movie will offend you.

James, age 27

Negative— The 2004 film “Garfield: The Movie” was much better than this dull, boring 2006 sequel. I have and always will be a Huge Garfield fan, but when I saw “A Tail of Two Kitties” at the age of 26, I just couldn’t enjoy it, the story was corny, I knew even then that “A Tail of Two Kitties” is only good for children in the age range of 2 to 6. The 2007 Direct to DVD CGI film “Garfield Gets Real” was infinitely better than this pitiful 2006 sequel

Comments from young people

Positive—This movie was a good family movie. Maybe more centered to kids and adults. At least for me I don’t think that many teens would enjoy this. This movie was not my favourite but a good movie all the same. It had comedy that both adults and kids could find entertaining. This is a great movie if u don’t know what you want to see and you don’t have to worry about language and other unwanted material.
My Ratings: Excellent! / 3
