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

A dumb make believe plot that not only feels irrelevant, it feels stupid.

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.… Expand

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.… Expand

If you want to watch stupid movie without any logic, go for it. As many pointed before... it's painfully hollow. Misusing Tom & Jerry for quick buck is a sin. Dumb boring movie.

A thoroughly unenjoyable dumpsterfire. Contains 2 mildly funny jokes in a sea of toilet humor. Don't watch it.

I rarely agree with film critics but this time they nailed it. 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 &I rarely agree with film critics but this time they nailed it. 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

What's the point of making these kind of movies nowadays? This looks like the Smurfs from 2011, which was also awful movie.

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.… Expand
