Tom & Jerry Reviews
Though well-intended, Tom & Jerry is a pretty ordinary movie that attempts to maintain the franchise's spirit with an uninspired premise and a simple, even safe, script by Kevin Costello that gets stuck in some major silliness.

A disappointing take on the beloved cat and mouse duo. The film focuses more on a fictional wedding instead of the lifelong rivals we love to see fight.

Tom and Jerry brings many nostalgic elements and moments of hilarity but falls short due to its human cast.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 21, 2023
This cartoon’s target audience seems to be tailored for those unique children whose medication has little to no effect on their attention deficit disorder.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 11, 2022
Tom and Jerry end up relegated to supporting duty for the trite and shallow human stories.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 17, 2022
While very small viewers wont mind the wafer-thin storytelling, anyone with an age in double figures will agree these two are more suited to shorter bursts of anarchy.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 2, 2022
The 2021 Tom & Jerry movie wastes so much time just to give little of what audiences would expect out of a feature inspired by classic cartoons.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Feb 16, 2022
Tom & Jerry word well when abusing one another in seven-minute increments. And while this feature captures the duo's manic rage, it's still weak sauce with unnecessary humans.

Warner Brothers' latest attempt may not be the worst of the bunch, it still largely fails to bring any new wit or flavor to the party.

Tom & Jerry fails in so many basic ways of cinematic storytelling.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Jun 1, 2021
Soggy sitcom shenanigans.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 23, 2021
[W]hile the thinly sketched story is brazenly unimaginative, screenwriter Kevin Costello (Brigsby Bear) throws in the odd, welcomely surreal gag, and the cast keep things solidly watchable.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 7, 2021
For those of us raised on a healthy diet of this anarchic cat and mouse game, this once over lightly won't fill our hearts, but as a school holiday distraction for the younglings in your life, it's a fun cinema outing.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 30, 2021
This film is clearly awful but I did enjoy parts of it. Was it good? No. Did I HATE watching it? No.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 26, 2021
Thanks to Moretz, Story and Costello, Tom and Jerry was not only tolerable, it had moments of invention, hilarity and heart.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 12, 2021
Tom & Jerry deserve a sincere salute for their longevity and enduring appeal, which stretches back to 1940. They should get together for a drink with King Kong, whose new movie Godzilla v Kong reminds us how his debut was released in 1933. L'chaim, gents.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 3, 2021
Watching this all-ages-friendly hybrid of cartoon and live-action, it doesn't seem as if anyone involved knows quite why the film exists.

...despite the skill and fidelity of the artists, who are faithful to the original films, it all falls a bit flat and the strenuous hip-hop music accompaniment doesn't help much.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 3, 2021
If it brings families in lockdown some welcome collective fun - which I think it will - then the octogenarian cat and mouse have done their jobs.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 2, 2021
They've retained their mute, indestructible, 2-D animated personas and that the end result is much funnier than expected.
