In this film, Garfield, voiced by Chris Pratt, faces a shift in his world when his long-time owner, Jon Arbuckle, gets engaged to a woman named Laura. While Jon’s excitement about his relationship grows, Garfield struggles with jealousy and the fear that he might lose his place as the center of attention in Jon’s life.
As Jon and Laura’s wedding day approaches, Garfield, accompanied by his loyal dog friend Odie, embarks on a chaotic adventure to stop the nuptials. Along the way, Garfield gets caught up in a series of misadventures, facing everything from outrageous obstacles to amusing miscommunications.
