To give a bit of a summary of my take on the film, I would say:
The animation was competent and actually great, but it stands out in a bad way. The music wasn't horrible, but it doesn't suit Tom & Jerry. The dialogue sucks, and with that, so does the acting. I wouldn't even consider this a real Tom & Jerry film, for the focus isn't even on the duo.

If you want a true Tom & Jerry experience, just watch the cartoon.

This is probably one of the most underwhelming, lazy, and played-out movies I've seen in my life (and trust me there are a lot of them).

The ANIMATION: it's amazing, I can't lie, the squash and stretch of the 3D models, and how many techniques that are known to be used in 2D animation are actually shown to work in 3D, and it's great, the character is expressive and full of life, the only problem is that it doesn't mesh too well with the real-life actors, the animated characters react really well with the environment (for the MOST part), but the acting is pretty mediocre which causes some scenes to look really awkward, Chloe G. Moretz (Kayla) does an incredibly **** job, there are scenes where she doesn't act accordingly to the characters, an example is when the Preeta's cat jumps on her waist, where she literally takes 2 ENTIRE SECONDS to use her hand to hold the cat, and it doesn't look very good, or in the scene where fish are sold, some scenes look really gross when people are holding the fish, anyways. TEH MUSICA: It's fine, just doesn't suit tom and jerry too much, sometimes it's a bit ear-grading but some of it is catchy. The PLOT: I would honestly like to meet the people who made the plot of the movie, especially in the small details, something that I personally do not like in this movie is that there are way too many references to modern technology, especially modern-day apps because it's a complete insult to Tom and Jerry, as it's a timeless classic in cartoons, and all of these producers thinking that people will like the movie because we have references to Tik-Tok and Instagram, it's all technology fatigue when I want to watch a movie, I want to disconnect from all the technology and go to something that is timeless, something that will never age because it's popular technology doesn't mean that it's beloved, that's why it's really awkward when Tom does the floss or when some of the animal characters say things like "o.m.g.!" or "L O L!!" or when some of the real life actors or even animated ones are shown to whip out their phones to check Instagram, it makes me want to die on the inside, it's the same feeling I get when I watch the 2 scenes where Sonic flosses for 5 seconds in each of them. The movie has terrible acting (except for the hotel manager he's great!), amazing animation, but **** plot and direction... Also does anyone know why some character speak and some don't, it's never explained honestly and when they speak, do the humans understand? (yes this movie has MANY plot holes) Expand

It's slapstick comedy, and of a pitiful, impractical and unmistakably flawed level.

Is theater of the absurd but in the worst possible way. A dumb make believe plot that not only feels irrelevant, it feels stupid. Maybe I'm too old, too

Maybe I'm too old, too cynical and bitter, but I think even actual kids under 8 will have a hard time enjoying it.

We're trying to save movie theaters, but with this level, people will not take the risk of going back. Tom & Jerry was completely made to get lost in the streaming ocean, and die quietly there.

I used to watch a lot of Tom and Jerry as a kid. Tom and Jerry just hitting each other a lot were surprisingly entertaining when I was a kid. When I heard they were making a live-action movie with Tom and Jerry, I just thought in my head thatI used to watch a lot of Tom and Jerry as a kid. Tom and Jerry just hitting each other a lot were surprisingly entertaining when I was a kid. When I heard they were making a live-action movie with Tom and Jerry, I just thought in my head that they are somehow going to ruin it. The premise is "A legendary rivalry re-emerges when Jerry moves into New York City's finest hotel on the eve of the wedding of the century, forcing the desperate event planner to hire Tom to get rid of him. As mayhem ensues, the escalating cat-and-mouse battle soon threatens to destroy her career, the wedding, and possibly the hotel itself". So did the director, Tim Story, succeed in retaining the spirit of Tom and Jerry or completely ruin it?

The thing I did enjoy about Tom and Jerry (2021) is that Tom and Jerry's antics are pretty entertaining. Tom trying to find ways to take down Jerry while Jerry outsmarts him are still funny to watch even after all these years. I also enjoyed that all the animals in this universe are animated which is an interesting idea and visually it looks all right. I don't mind the 3D look with a vintage 2D finish design of the animals including Tom and Jerry. They look great in the movie and it has a modern feel to it. The human actors are all adequate as well.

Unfortunately, that's all I enjoyed the movie. Tom and Jerry are barely in the movie as they are being overshadowed by a plot involving a wedding and some human characters. It would be slightly acceptable if the human characters were good but they are all unlikeable. Kayla (Chloë Grace Moretz) is the protagonist who is introduced by lying and manipulating a person into not applying for a job in the hotel and then steals her resume. Yeah, it's clear they are trying to set an arc of redemption for her but she is the protagonist and you need them to be likeable in some way and this is not it. It also gives a terrible message to kids that they should lie their way to the top. There is also a sort of human antagonist in Terence (Michael Peña) who is the hotel's event manager and antagonistic against Kayla. He does some terrible things near the end of the movie but he still comes out with barely any repercussions for his action. There are some other supporting characters with their quirks but they are all so one-note and over the top that it's cringy. There is a story involving the wedding of Ben (Colin Jost) and Preeta (Pallavi Sharda) with Ben being too bombastic with the wedding and not listening to Preeta is uninteresting. It's so easily predictable as they hit all the cliché beats while taking the audience and kids away from what they care about, Tom and Jerry. While Tom and Jerry's humour is fun, human humour is atrociously bad. None of it lands and they keep going for this cringe humour which doesn't work. I don't remember laughing at any of the comedy with the human characters whatsoever. Additionally, there are way too many pop and rap songs in here that just doesn't fit with Tom and Jerry and it makes me wish they used the classic orchestral and trumpet style of the cartoon. Overall, the director did not succeed in making a good Tom and Jerry movie. However, there is some enjoyment to be had and if you have kids then I can see them enjoying this for 90 minutes. I just wished that the director kept the focus more around the titled characters instead of trying to fill it up with some unnecessary melodrama. Hopefully, Warner Bros. gets it next time if they ever make another Tom and Jerry movie.

This film has completely destroyed the legacy of Tom & Jerry. There is no single element to point at as the ultimate flaw of this movie, it is all just bad. The fact that Tom & Jerry are barely the focus of their own feature length film is unforgiveable enough. Then you have to consider the awful soundtrack, unlikable human characters, and the bizarre 2D/3D animation style. It doesn't make sense at all to have so many other talking cartoon animals next to Tom & Jerry who thankfully remain silent. Tom & Jerry may have been portrayed faithfully, but instead of getting a film with nothing else hamfisted into it, just their zany antics, we're forced to endure a horribly tired and cliched rom-com plot. Nobody asked for this movie to be about a wedding for two arrogant rich snobs in a fancy hotel. It almost seems like this was the original screenplay for the movie then they just threw in Tom & Jerry at the last minute and reshot everything. Colin Jost and Michael Pena do their best to be funny with an unfunny and uninteresting plot. The main character played by Chloe Grace Moretz comes across as amoral and self-serving, because the first thing she does is steal someone's resume to get a job in this hotel. Ignoring the logistical issues with this premise, the film still massively under-delivers and even the parts with Tom & Jerry are just lazily rehashed throwbacks to the cartoons. When will Hollywood stop rebooting and destroying classic franchises? I'm glad I watched this on HBOMAX because I would've felt absolutely cheated for the price of admission in a theater. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 6
Acting: 7
Plot: 4

After the infamous 1992 theatrical animated movie, Tom and Jerry return to the big screen as a live-action/animated hybrid movie much like 1996’s Space Jam and 2003’s Looney Tunes: Back in Action. Originally slated to release in December 2020, the movie was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Tom and Jerry is currently available to watch in theatres that are open and in HBO Max at the same time.

After many years of never-ending battle, Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse moved to New York separately to start a new life. They come across each other again when Jerry ruin Tom’s street performance as a pianist. During the chase, Tom accidentally bump into Kayla Forester (Moretz), who does odd jobs as a delivery girl. This end up costing Kayla to lose her job while Jerry escape to Royal Gate Hotel and take up residence there.

Desperate to look for a new job, Kayla steal a job seeker’s resume and manage to get hire immediately by Henry DuBros (Delaney), the owner of the hotel and Terrance Mendoza (Peña), the event manager and her new superior. Kayla’s position is a temporary staff which she has to work in a high profile wedding event. At the same time, Jerry has been stealing foods and items from hotel guests to ramp up his new lifestyle and Kayla is unable to catch him.

When Tom finally found Jerry in one of the hotel rooms, they wreck up the whole room and his presence is made known to Kayla due to noise complaints from the hotel guests. Fearing that Jerry may ruin the wedding, she befriend and hire Tom to catch Jerry with the approval from DuBros despite Terrance’s objection.

Just like the cartoon shorts from the old days, this movie stays faithful to the source materials and charms from Tom and Jerry. The movie also used many of Tom and Jerry’s slapstick cartoon violence from the shorts and it worked really well. The humours also contained many running gags from the shorts that you have recognise. As for the animation, I think it is really great that the filmmakers went with the cel-shaded look for the cartoon characters instead of using CGI because using the latter would be terrible and may not have work well with live-action scenes.

For the human characters, they have decent performance but I really like Chloë Grace Moretz and Michael Peña’s acting in this movie. They really did their best in their comedic roles to make the movie watchable. Speaking of human characters, the movie did its best to have both human and cartoon characters enough screentime and not giving too much focus on human characters which is something what the 1992 animated movie did.

Unfortunately, the plot of the movie is not exactly great. It is really predictable and have been overused in other movies. Not going to spoil but you will know when you watch it. To be honest, I am not really surprised considering that Tom and Jerry is known for its slapsticks comedy and cartoon violence while plots are hardly matter. Overall, the movie at best is mediocre. If you ignore the plot and watch for its slapstick comedy, you will have a good time watching this movie.

Credits goes to Tim Story for his direction and making this movie better than the 1992 animated movie. He really did the franchise justice with this movie. Minor spoiler: Tom and Jerry really does not talk in this movie. Not even once. The trailer already proved that. If you are looking for something to distract from the current pandemic, this is the movie you would want to watch especially if you are fan of Tom and Jerry. There is a post-credits scene but it was really nothing at all. You can just skip it as it does not really add anything or set up for a sequel.

A little worse than I was expecting. Animation is beautiful. Not that I expect a great story from Tom and Jerry, but it was almost non-existent. Acting was ok, but was hurt by the lack of quality writing.

I watched this movie only because these characters give me nostalgic feeling. To be honest, this movie was little bit disappointing to me. The story and screenplay was too weak. The presence of tom and jerry can also not prevent this bad story and it's bad execution. There were just some scenes which they used from cartoon shorts, which were fun to watch otherwise everything went wrong for this movie.

Some people will say that this movie is for children so we need not to strictly review this movie. But even after being movie for young ones, story and execution needs to be good. Nothing went right for this movie. It only passed in giving nostalgic feeling to those who watched this cartoon when they were young.

Overall, this movie is just for silly entertainment. Would not recommend this, instead watch cartoon shorts which will entertain you thousand times more than this.

A film based on one of the most popular cartoon couples that has performed well visually but has a very repetitive and awful story. It is clear that the creators had no idea to tell the story!

Well, at least they don't talk and they don't look realistic. The CGI is OK but the story and characters are boooooorrrriiiingggg. Mostly unfunny and akward to watch.

Just stick with the 40's cartoons. Expand

Inoffensive, mildly entertaining but also unremarkable, bland and with the two stars as the support of rather by-the-book characters.

Tom and Jerry may not have the most focus in the movie, but they are the best characters, and this is the best movie
