Quotes

Richard Roeper - Host : [reviewing "Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties"] I just don't find Garfield very funny, not as a comic strip creature, and not as a center piece of a feature film. Bill Murray, of course, is a comic genius, but his familiar vocal tics and tricks are just distracting here, even off-screen, he overshadows the character. I just kept hearing Bill Murray, Bill Murray, Bill Murray. I have to admit, I didn't hate this "Garfield" as much as the first "Garfield". It's harmless, it's forgettable, it's inoffensive, I guess it might keep kids occupied on a winter afternoon when it comes out on DVD. For now, though? Thumbs down.
Roger Ebert - Host : I agree with you that it is a better movie than the original Garfield, so I liked it even more.
Richard Roeper - Host : Oh my God...
Roger Ebert - Host : And kids, at home, kids, y'know, the smaller kids, your uncle Richard here, he's an old, old man, he's very old, he doesn't understand...
Richard Roeper - Host : I'm a hipster who knows what's right for the kids!
Roger Ebert - Host : It's a comedy about cats and Garfield, so just listen to me, because it's real funny because the way that Garfield gets to England is interesting in that it turns out he's mistaken for this rich cat who runs an entire castle, and the two of them change places, kind of like ''The Prince and the Pauper'', and they solve each others' problems. And it's all very cute, and you're gonna like it. And so now we can go back to Uncle Richard. Hello, Uncle Richard.
Richard Roeper - Host : Well I'm so glad you liked ''Garfield'' and ''The Fast and the Furious''- the sequels to ''Garfield'' and the THIRD entry...
Roger Ebert - Host : Eternally, eternally young, that's me. Yes.
Richard Roeper - Host : Wow. Your thumb is stuck, I think, my friend.
Roger Ebert - Host : Uh, we'll see if it is or not.
