Movies that feel likeGarfield (2004)

Garfield, the fat, lazy, lasagna lover, has everything a cat could want. But when Jon, in an effort to impress the Liz - the vet and an old high-school crush - adopts a dog named Odie and brings him home, Garfield gets the one thing he doesn't want. Competition.

If you loved Garfield, the closest films we have are Stuart Little 2 (2002), Alibi.com (2017) and Paper Planes (2014). All three share Garfield's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Paddington (2014).
