Tom and Jerry 4K Review
Kayla (Chloe Moretz) monthly and selflessly tests in practice the thesis "All professions are important", changing jobs like gloves (or rather, flying out of them). Desperate and hungry, she enters a fashionable hotel, where, with the help of simple manipulations, you can find free food, but as a result, she also manages to steal someone else's resume and get a prestigious position. A rich celebration is about to take place in the hotel - an Indian-style wedding is planned for two selebes - and Kayla immediately finds herself in the epicenter of hostilities. It is necessary to solve all the problems and help with the preparation for the celebration, but, as luck would have it, Jerry the mouse gets in the hotel. To get rid of the rodent, the girl hires Tom the cat, which, however, will bring more difficulties than good.

"Tom and Jerry" as a concept is an infernal and sometimes not entirely humane slapstick, where the heroes could blow up each other with dynamite, arrange firefights and send an opponent to the next world. In the short meter format, it may have looked impressive. In the format of old shows, not burdened with new ethics and issues of violence, it was obviously relevant. Is it relevant now? The question is not only open, but, it seems, is completely resolved. Is it possible to make a full-length movie out of a rather archaic cartoon, whose drama is based on "fight / flight"? Moreover, such that conflict, problem, characters in the end? It's not clear how from a producer's position, but for critics and viewers, the failure was obvious even at the release stage. It was only necessary to understand who and how would be able to smooth out the sharp edges of such a clumsy concept.

It is better to judge the director Tim Storey not by his unsuccessful attempts to film the Fantastic Four, but by the resurrection of the cult blaxploitation franchise Shaft, where he united the old performers of the famous role (Richard Roundtree, Samuel L. Jackson) and beautifully brought everything to the generational problems. Not to say that the film turned out to be outstanding, but at least it conveniently maneuvered between new ethical boundaries (represented by the character of young Shaft played by Jesse Asher) and old-school audacity (for it was L. Jackson, who taught his son "to be a man"). Something similar - namely, the reconciliation of two eras - the creators tried to do in the adaptation of the famous multi-part franchise about the always at warring cat and mouse.

From the "shameful" past of the franchise (fortunately, there was no stereotypical image of Tom's dark-skinned mistress) - a crazy slapstick with gouging eyes, falls, explosions, blows, screams, a beloved rodent and his sworn fluffy enemy, as well as a couple of jokes about social quotas ( it is not clear if this was the case in the original or if it was the grace of Russian dubbing, but the head of the hotel hires a cat to increase the ethnic diversity of the staff) From the present - where without them, rap and beats in the soundtrack, humanistic morality about stopping fights, which, if it slipped in the animated series, was safely forgotten in the next episode, a combination of live-action and animation, and from a truly curious - a kind of ode to all provincials and self-made'am.

Tom is a talented street musician (apparently provincial, as well as a mouse with the heroine Moretz) musician, whose dreams have been shattered with the help of an annoying rodent, Jerry is an eternal wanderer who is constantly in search of a dream home, but lives penniless in pocket, and Kayla is a connoisseur of New York streets, able to fit into the workflow faster and better than the dandy played by Michael Peña, who boasts of his education and background. For a while, it even seems that the creators are challenging all the rich townspeople and praising the poor simpletons who have to spin to survive. Deceive, get out of difficult situations, find quick solutions and, in general, endlessly jump over your head, trying to change the perception of others about yourself.

Somewhere nearby - another theme, which in the context of a film about (literally) cats and mice looks even stranger. A young couple of celeb, planning to hold a wedding in a hotel, is faced with a problem: the groom wants to please his father-in-law and the bride too much, so he buys elephants, tigers and other tinsel in the Indian style (the girl and dad obviously have roots), completely forgetting about, so to speak, the spirit of the holiday and true love that does not need jewelry and gifts. Here we are talking about multiculturalism and about appropriation, but what difference does it make if at the end both this and the past problem of the glorious provincials in the predatory city boils down to the peaceful passage of Leopold the cat? Already this elephant in the room - the desire to smooth everything, level, remove, yes, toxicity, but moderate toxicity - will be noticed not only by the heroes, but also by the audience.
