Summary: The laziest cat in America swaps places with the richest feline in England in director Tim Hill's lasagna-laden sequel to the 2004 theatrical hit Garfield. Jon Arbuckle (Breckin Meyer) is on his way to London to propose to his veterinarian girlfriend, Liz Wilson (Jennifer Love Hewitt), and his unflappable cat, Garfield, is determined to be there when Jon pops the big question. Of course, Garfield wouldn't go anywhere without his old pal Odie, and soon after arriving in the land of Big Ben, the clueless tomcat inadvertently changes places with royal look-a-like Prince. It seems that Prince's owner, Lady Eleanor, has recently passed away, leaving the care of her sprawling estate Castle Carlyle in the capable paws of her devoted kitty companion. The trouble is, Prince has decided it's due time for a vacation, and with Garfield in charge there's no telling what kind of trouble will befall Castle Carlyle. Despite having a devoted butler named Smithee (Ian Abercrombie) to cater to his every whim and a whole host of fun-loving critters with whom to pass the lazy days spent lounging in the sun, this crowned head begins to feel the sting of deceit as the envious Lord Dargis (Billy Connolly) hatches a dastardly plan to do away with the whiskered heir and claim Castle Carlyle all to himself. Meanwhile, as Garfield attempts to hold his ground against his greedy would-be nemesis, the fun-loving Prince is living it up with Jon and Odie by taking a trip to some of London's most popular pubs. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Derek Armstrong

You can usually rely on Bill Murray to be the best part of any movie he's in. The Garfield movies are just the opposite. The original Garfield, and now Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties, would just be bland family movies if not for Murray's obnoxious vocal portrayal of the lasagna-loving feline. Murray's tired riffing leaves a viewer longing for Lorenzo Music's wry and disinterested Garfield, as seen in the TV incarnation of the tubby tabby. Instead of Murray, the actual best parts of the weak Garfield: The Movie were Breckin Meyer and Jennifer Love Hewitt, who at least brought a sporting level of commitment to their roles as Jon Arbuckle and Jon's love interest, Liz. Here, those characters are pushed to the sidelines in favor of a mistaken-identity farce, in which Garfield switches roles with a regal British cat named Prince, who's inherited a palatial estate from his eccentric owner. Much of the action involves the estate's next human heir, Lord Dargis (Billy Connolly, looking and acting like John Cleese more than ever). He's trying to dispose of Prince in order to turn the property into high rises, as its many four-legged residents conspire to make sure that doesn't happen. The lazy plot unfolds in all the expected ways, with plenty of pratfalls and comeuppance in store for Lord Dargis. It's nice to hear the distinctive vocal work of a dozen familiar British actors coming from this menagerie of dogs, ferrets, and other animals, among them Rhys Ifans, Vinnie Jones, Bob Hoskins, Jane Leeves, and Tim Curry. But it's nothing we haven't seen in a hundred other talking-animal movies -- films that were encouraged to start existing again by the long-ago success of Babe. One hopes A Tail of Two Kitties will discourage more Garfield movies from existing. ~ Derek Armstrong, Rovi
