The live-action-animated hybrid comedy movie Tom & Jerry, based on the iconic frenemy duo, is out in theatres but so far, it is being excoriated by critics. The movie currently holds a dismal rating of 24 per cent on review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. Critics say the film won’t satisfy either adults (who perhaps loved Tom & Jerry as kids) or kids. New York Times’ Jason Bailey wrote, “It’s all flop sweat, a sad, desperate attempt to make Tom and Jerry the one thing they never were: cool.”Channel Awesome’s Doug Walker’s review was one of the mildly positive ones. He wrote, “As a cinematic comedy it’s bad, but as a Tom and Jerry cartoon it’s good, not great, but good.
