8.7/10.A pretty fun romp.I thought it to pretty faithful to my favorite comic strip.Jennifer Love Hewitt and Breckin Meyer were good choices.I honestly thought Bill Murray was the only choice for Garfield as he seemed to channel the character rather well.A fun movie that doesn't deserve the scorning it gets.
Other mistake: Jon's Volvo back license plate number in the first half of the movie is T03-851. When he and Dr Liz are looking for Odie, his front license plate number is I35-749. As they are pulling up to the train station, the Volvo in front of them also has the plate I35-749.
Trivia: Bill Murray agreed to be in the film without reading the full script upon seeing the name "Joel Cohen" listed as a writer. It turns out he thought he was signing onto a film co-written by "Joel Coen" of the Coen Brothers fame. It wasn't until he began recording his lines sometime later that he realised his mistake.

Chosen answer: Jon makes educated guesses in the comics based on Garfield's body language and surroundings, he doesn't actually hear Garfield in either medium.
