Personally, I could tell quite quickly that this wasn’t a movie for me. So, if those are the sort of films that you would actively avoid, but you know your children quite like, then you know exactly what you are in for. In short: Tom & Jerry sits firmly in the same category as Garfield (2004), Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) and The Smurfs (2011). It doesn’t play on two levels, with plenty of jokes for both adults and kids like a Pixar movie, instead it simply aims for some fun visuals, an easy-to-follow story, and a few sight gags here and there. This is a film which skews towards a younger audience. But it isn’t awful and if you happen to have youngsters in your house, then this will provide them with some entertainment. It certainly doesn’t live up to the fun or inventiveness of the classic Tom & Jerry cartoons of yesteryear, and doesn’t serve up anything original. In truth, this isn’t a particularly good movie. Tom & Jerry has been surrounded by mostly negative reviews since its initial release, so before I even pressed ‘play’ on this movie, I knew it was probably not going to be the greatest 101 minutes of my life. Now I should probably mention that because this movie arrives in the UK a month after it opened in the US, I am aware that this film was not a critical hit in the States. The movie is available to rent from all the major streaming platforms (Amazon, iTunes, etc), and stars Chloë Grace Moretz, Michael Peña, Rob Delaney, Ken Jeong, and of course, Tom and Jerry as themselves. Tom & Jerry was released in the US back in late February, but it arrives in the UK today – just in time for the half-term Easter holidays. What follows is various scenes of slapstick with the cat and mouse chasing after one another, all while Kayla is trying her best to ensure the wedding goes ahead as planned. Keen to impress her new boss, and aware that Jerry has already begun causing a disruption in his new homestead, Kayla recruits Tom to go on a mouse hunt.

At the same time, a street-wise young woman called Kayla, cons her way into a new job at Royal Gate, all the while hoping that her deception won’t be uncovered. In the movie, Jerry makes a home for himself at the Royal Gate Hotel, a few days before a major celebrity wedding is due to take place. The movie – directed by Tim Story – is the latest feature-length film to star the iconic cartoon duo, and focuses on Tom & Jerry’s adventures in a prestigious Manhattan hotel. Pictures is the part-live-action, part-animated family film, Tom & Jerry.
