Garfield may want to stay in bed so he doesn’t see any of the reviews pouring in today. The Rotten Tomatoes tomatometer gives the film a dismal 11% freshness rating, with only 5 reviewers out of 46 giving the film a thumbs up. Some choice quotes include:

– “The film is a veritable conga line of bad decisions whose guiding premise appears to be ‘Never mind, kids will watch anything.'” Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
– “It’s enough to make you long for the wit and wisdom of Mike Myers’ Cat in the Hat.” Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
– “Garfield: The Movie is like Stuart Little: For Dummies.” Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News
