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

Critic Reviews
-
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
There's something kind of strange about a bunch of animals cooking in a kitchen, when many of those animals would normally be getting cooked in a kitchen. But that is the least of this movie's problems.
-
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star
Even for the chubbiest comic cat in captivity, Garfield's onscreen shtick is wearing a bit thin.
-
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
The best thing that can be said about Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties is that the movie isn't quite as bad as its name.
-
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Just consider A Tail of Two Kitties more endurable, more a movie than Garfield: The Movie, and you won't be too disappointed.
-
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Over the entire length of the film, I counted four laughs. Thirty minutes in, there was even the sound of some cranky crying, and whines of 'But I don't wanna watch the funny kitty-cat.'
