Tom and Jerry (II) (2021)
7/10
Usual High Jinks
27 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I saw "Tom and Jerry", starring Chloe Grace Moretz-Shadow in the Cloud, The Equalizer; Michael Pena-Fantasy Island_2020, Vacation_2015; Colin Jost-SNL_tv, How To Be Single and Ken Jeong-Avengers:Endgame, Crazy Rich Asians. This is the second Tom and Jerry theatrical release-the first was in 1992-and it's the first live action/animated version of the Hanna_Barbera created duo. This movie tells the story of how Tom and Jerry meet and became enemies. Chloe plays a struggling woman in the work force that finagles here way into a job at a prestigious hotel-she lies on the application. Michael, the head of hotel relations, mistrusts her from the start but a high profile wedding is coming to their hotel and they are short handed. Chloe has her hands full; trying to make sure things run smoothly with Tom and Jerry doing their smash and bam thing and then she has to try to make sure the wedding goes off seamlessly. Colin plays the rich groom getting married and Ken is the chef in charge of the festivities in the kitchen. There is a quick and funny cameo of another cartoon character, Droopy-look for him in the jail scene. If you are a fan of the cartoons then you should enjoy this one-I did. There are the usual high jinks and comical violence inflicted on-mostly-Tom & Jerry and if you stay until the end credits are finished, there is a bonus scene. It's rated "PG" for cartoon violence, rude humor and some mild language and has a running time of 1 hour & 41 minutes. I'm not sure if I would buy it on DVD but it would be a good family rental.
