Review of Garfield's Pet Force (2009) by Barry N — 27 Sep 2010

Garfield is by far one of the most progressive films in years. A multi-layered story, with modern day subtleties. The depth of jon's character alone is remarkable. Garfield's Pet Force takes place in the roaring 20's, were new money was rising fast but old money still reined supreme.

Jon a closeted homosexual, must deal with his public persona of a pugnacious tomcat, which he himself has created. He is besided by his malovolent, but ambigous cat, Sir Garfield. Sir Garfield struggles with inner demons throughout the movie, but confronts his inner self in a captivating third act.

Odie is the comic relief as a hate-filled Neo-nazi. Akward situations arise as jon begins to date liz, a conservative jewish princess. It doesn't matter where you watch this masterpiece, whether it be in the warm bath tub or the local pub, maybe even in the comfort of your own home, who knows.

One thing is for sure, The last revelation in the thrid act is dripping with emotion, as Jon outs himself, odie puts a gun to his head, and Sir Garfield is the one who pulls the trigger.
