It's the big moment for Garfield's loving owner, Jon. He's asking his sweetheart, Liz, to marry him. But Liz arrives with an announcement of her own: She's heading to England the next day on a once-in-a-lifetime business trip. With the moment deflated, Jon passes on popping the question ... but decides to surprise his girl by showing up at her hotel in London.

Meanwhile, Garfield and Odie manage a surprise of their own by sneaking their way into Jon's luggage. And after slipping out of their hotel room, Garfield gets mistaken for Prince, a look-alike royal cat who has recently been appointed heir of the Carlisle castle. The two felines end up unintentionally trading places, which suits Garfield just fine. After all, what else could a fat, self-indulgent cat ask for but an entire palace full of attendants granting his every wish and whim?

Garfield is best known for being a lazy glutton whose only concerns are his own pampering-and for most of this movie, he stays true to those traits. But when the orange fur ball realizes how much he's taken Jon for granted, he admits he's been selfish and vows to return to his friend.

Unfortunately a very inappropriate song mars this otherwise light-hearted film. Women wear immodest clothing. There is also cartoon-style violence with the bad guy falling down stairs, getting whacked in the face and being bitten by dogs. Misuses of God's name, potty words and name-calling are used repeatedly. Garfield is also cruel to Odie.

For the second time, Garfield has jumped off newspaper pages and onto theater screens. And with < I>A Tail of Two Kitties, comic-strip cat-lovers will likely be no more impressed or disappointed than they were with Garfield: The Movie. Unfortunately, for Clubhouse kids, because of inappropriate music and language this is one cat that shouldn't have been let out of the bag.
