Once again my life is saved by the miracle of lasanga.

I sprained my ankle on Friday and spent a lot of the weekend couped up in my place trying to get it to heal. I got a little stir crazy and started browsing the free HBO on-demand movies cable serves up. I started watching Garfield without too many expectations.

My poor expectations were mostly met. This is really a throw away kind of movie. It had some good bits, but on the whole the movie was just on auto-pilot. The one redeeming thing was the voice work of Bill Murray. It wasn't great, and wasn't anywhere near Bill's best work, but Bill far from his best is still entertaining. Guy calls Bill Murry the comic genius of our time, and I'm really inclined to agree.

Honestly, Bill's involvement in this movie is the only reason I gave it any time. Murray is the kind of actor that will cause me to watch a movie that is otherwise crap, just to see what he can do with it. With only his voice, he couldn't do much with this one. But his dry wit did add some charm.

Still want more?
