Chris Pratt shares how he prepared for the role of a lifetime - a method actor in every way, shape and form... his approach is purrrfect! He was incredibly cute long before he was insufferably indifferent. Yes, he once was a cuddly little kitty. And he always loved lasagna... Directed by Mark Dindal, the new 3DCG 'The Garfield Movie' finds the eponymous feline (voiced by Chris Pratt), the world-famous, Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat, as he is about to have a wild outdoor adventure! After an unexpected reunion with his long-lost father – scruffy street cat Vic (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) – Garfield and his canine friend Odie are forced from their perfectly pampered life into joining Vic in a hilarious, high-stakes heist.
