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 manyThis 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

They just recycle the old jokes with a silly but not very funny story as a background.

The essence is there, the nostalgia too, and that's why it's fine. Tom and Jerry, welcome back.

I think the story is pretty cliché, but I feel that the slapstick here by the cat and mouse duo here did make me laugh. Although their slapstick is kinda short-lived, it really made me happy. The acting from the real life actors and actresses aren't the best too, but I felt they were decent enough to make me enjoy the movie. Overall, not a very fantastic movie, but to me I think this is an okay movie. Expand

Vale pela nostalgia da infância, algumas piadas funcionam, mas o meio do filme é um pouco arrastado, mas da pra se divertir

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.

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!

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