Garfield is a lasagna-stuffed slacker from America who is "king of the cul-de-sac," while his look-alike, Prince, is the lord of an English castle. Never the twain shall meet, but in this feline twist on The Prince and the Pauper, Garfield and Prince trade flea collars for a spell before uniting to take on the bad guy. The scene-setting ruse involves Garfield stowing away on a trip to London with his owner, Jon (Breckin Meyer), who intends to propose to his veterinarian girlfriend, Liz (Jennifer Love Hewitt) -- a union that does not pass muster with Garfield. Prince, meanwhile, is out on the streets after being unceremoniously disposed of by the scoundrel Lord Dargis (Scottish comedian Billy Connolly), the next in line to inherit the country estate over which Prince presides. The bland Meyer and Hewittt are easily upstaged by the computer-animated cats and the anthropomorphic antics of the live-action animals that come to Garfield and Prince's aid to "kick royal butt" and foil Dargis's scheme to raze the castle and build an animal-free resort and spa. Bill Murray's wise-guy disdain is ideal for the voice of Garfield, who makes himself right at home in the castle. And Tim Curry is his equal as the sheltered Prince, who discovers the joys of lasagna. The change of scenery does Garfield good; the sequel is even better than the original. Donald Liebenson

All Movie Guide

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.
