What fans can expect from The Garfield Movie?

Fans can expect a lot of comedy and father-son clashes in The Garfield Movie. Voiced by Chris Pratt, Garfield is a sarcastic orange cat who loves leading a sedentary lifestyle. He is the last person who would want to give up on his food or sleep, even if it meant that the world was ending.

However, in the film, he has to go on adventures with his long-lost father against his wishes. Their constant bickering and Garfield's repulsiveness towards being instrumental in any endeavor create several moments of laughter the audiences should look forward to. The official synopsis for the movie reads:

"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."
