As someone who loved the original cartoon, this was so disappointing. Why did they think that we wanted to watch an hour of wedding drama and boring human subplots?
This would've been so much better if they just cut out all the human stuff, and stuck to what made the originals so great.
Also, the soundtrack has to be one of the most ill-fitting ones I've ever heard. Who chose all of those songs? It was completely jarring!
Overall, it was just tedious to sit through, and clearly missed the point of the show.

5% Tom, 5% Jerry, 90% uninteresting drama.
A "10" rating.....seriously?
If the studio had spent as much money on story development and animation as it did for the "bot reviews", this motion picture could have been at least an "8". It seems Tim Story and the rest of the people involved in creating this mis-step either have not seen any of the original Tom & Jerry shorts, or have seriously misunderstood them. Off the top of my head, I can think of four different scenarios that would be faithful to the original cartoons and still make it relevant. And I'm not even WGA.
After "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" set the animated characters-and-live actor bar (many years ago, no less) any effort that does not at least come up to that standard is inexcusable. It is, however, a good example of the lengths a studio will go to in an effort to try and salvage a movie that they know is off the mark: trailers and promos that make it seem better than it is, and paid reviewers to boost the overall rating.
Age is a very high price to pay for maturity. As for me, I love a good animated film. and I am not afraid to admit it.
I liked it. Plain and simple. Yes the film focuses more on the live characters such as Chloë Grace Moretz who plays a street smart hotel hostess named Kayla and the usually more serious dramatic actor Michael Peña who plays Kayla's boss as a middle management hotel manager. There is a huge wedding planned at the hotel and Tom and Jerry are sure to wreak their usual havoc on the hotel staff and wedding guests. It is a fun film for children and us Peter Pan adult types that never seem to grow old. Throw in a romance between actors Colin Jost and Pallavi Sharda and you get the picture.
I give this animated Tom and Jerry film a more than decent 7 out of 10 IMDB rating. I can't wait for Mrs. Shullivan and I to sit down with our grandchildren and watch it again together with a 65 year age gap between us. Young or old.
