ConsequenceBlake GobleFeb 27, 2021
The dispiriting thing is that Tom & Jerry is far from the worst family film in the world. It’s just a familiar, by-the-books, vertically integrated product to ensure continued IP visibility for the film and television arm of a corporate portfolio. Here’s the latest and laziest IP for you to become disenchanted by, should you feel so inclined. Read full review

SlashfilmJosh SpiegelFeb 26, 2021
Tom & Jerry is, in many ways, aiming to be a live-action cartoon. But it fails in so many basic ways of cinematic storytelling. The story is dull, the characters are single-dimensionally bland, and the performances are stiff. Read full review

The New York TimesJason BaileyFeb 26, 2021
The de rigueur slapstick scenes for the title characters don’t even play, as the integration of animation and live action is so clunky that it feels like we’re watching special effects demonstrations rather than gags. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeFeb 26, 2021
Tim Story's Tom & Jerry is five to ten minutes of action that might have worked in one of the cartoon duo's shorts, surrounded by an inordinate amount of unimaginative, unfunny human-based conflict. Read full review

A few sequences of classic T&J comedy aren’t nearly enough to make up for the dull plotting and flat characters in this soulless product, one that will fail equally for adults who grew up on Tom and Jerry, and their kids who have never heard of these characters. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonFeb 26, 2021
A movie that seems to have been made by people who don’t understand the history, true nature or appeal of their iconic characters. Read full review

The TelegraphRobbie CollinApr 1, 2021
Essentially – astonishingly – the Tom and Jerry sections of Tom & Jerry are a sideshow, used to punctuate the human scheming and blundering around Preeta and Ben’s forthcoming nuptials. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriFeb 26, 2021
Tom and Jerry is so busy, so desperately unfunny, so clunkily cacophonous that it makes you long for the simple, brain-numbing charms of the one thing it pretty much refuses to give you: a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Read full review

As for viewers, well … whoever won in the endless round-robin of interspecies chicanery, we all lost. Read full review
