On the spectrum of repurposing to fit into an existing franchise, this would be pretty far from вЂњDie Hard with a Vengeance,вЂќ but the film does have the good sense to bring in charismatic professionals who know how take advantage of the minimal breathing room theyвЂ™re given. The movieвЂ™s opening act plays like someone shoehorned Tom and Jerry into an existing spec script about a con artist who accidentally finds her way into wedding planner job. Moretz, Delaney, and PeГ±a manage to do more with a perfunctory, nonsensical setup than the average trio could have. The on-screen actors may well have had fun filming for a few weeks inside a hotel, pretending to mess with drones and flinging themselves around as if tormented by the surprising number of non-feline, non-rodent animated creatures there end up being in this movie. (In both the at-times-offputting animation style and its relative place/quality in an established, beloved tradition, this should pair nicely on HBO Max with вЂњ Earwig and the Witch.вЂќ) ItвЂ™s when this version of вЂњTom and JerryвЂќ starts trying to squeeze those humans into this setup that both worlds feel smashed together and equally lifeless. (When not rabies-level foaming on the camera or defecating on the streets of New York City, heвЂ™s voiced by Bobby Cannavale at his most, well, cartoonish). Tom and Jerry trash duvet covers, smash up lounge pianos, and draw the unwanted attention of the classic bulldog antagonist Spike.

Maybe the one element that keeps this movie from being an entirely wasted effort is that amidst the bizarre machinations of luxury hotel event managing, thereвЂ™s some room for good old fashioned, one-on-one comic mayhem. This all happens without giving Tom or Jerry a speaking voice, as 1993вЂ™s вЂњTom and Jerry: The MovieвЂќ did.Дespite this confounding packaging, вЂњTom and JerryвЂќ isnвЂ™t completely devoid of its animation history DNA. Not only are Kayla and company unphased by the presence of animated animals, they eventually join forces in a вЂњToontown but without the prejudice and rigid social hierarchyвЂќ kind of way.

Terence quickly cools on Kayla for the same reason that Tom and Jerry are constantly feuding: just because.
