![]() They remind us how to spell ‘accommodate’ and when our period is due, or overdue. They help us call a car, and order lunch, and share a recipe. Our phones give us directions to where we want to go, they tell us who’s celebrating a birthday, and what bill needs to be paid. But most people manage to have phones AND human friends. Phil is a cliche who probably doesn’t exist in real life: he’s obsessed with his phone, he writes listicles for a living, he’s incapable of human interaction and would rather spend the night watching videos online than spending time with (or heck even making) friends.ĭo Phils really exist? I suppose there’s a grain of truth in there somewhere: some people are overly attached to their phones, and overly desperate for likes on social media. Even if you don’t hate it, there’s definitely not 25 bucks worth of movie in here and you’ll end up hating yourself, and possibly an age-old rivalry between a cat and a mouse. But if you’re willing to find out, wait until the movie doesn’t cost $25 to rent anymore. I can’t really guess who this movie is made for, but I do know it wasn’t me and it definitely wasn’t Sean. The problem is, the hijinks are kind of played out, like, last century. Preeta (Pallavi Sharda) and Ben (Colin Jost) are getting married in the most over the top, larger than life way you can imagine obviously this leaves lots of room for hijinks and lots of opportunity for trouble. Terence and Kayla are helping to plan the wedding of the century. It won’t please older fans, nostalgic for the cat and mouse of their childhood, nor is it likely to impress young audiences meeting Tom and Jerry for the first time. Inserting Tom and Jerry into an uninspired live action scenario is not the best use of these vintage television characters. Director Tim Story doesn’t have much of a modern twist to add to the proceedings, nor does he have much respect for his young audience. True to their heritage, Tom and Jerry will get up to their same old antics, the same old back and forth, cat and mouse, push and pull of destruction that they’ve been getting up to since the dawn of time (well, since 1940, which is pretty much the same thing). Enter Tom, who we know already has a beef with Jerry due to their earlier altercation in the park. Kayla’s first task is of course ridding the hotel of its mouse infestation, and what better way to get rid of a mouse than to hire a cat to do the job. ![]() Event planner Terence (Michael Pena) needs help, and Kayla (Chloe Grace Moretz) needs a job, so she fudges her qualifications and through the magic of live action-animated children’s movies, Kayla has herself a job. The hotel’s manager is none too pleased to have vermin in his prestigious hotel, particularly before the year’s grandest event – the wedding of Preeta and Ben, set to take place in his hotel ballroom in just a few days. Between its floorboards he sets up a little rodent bachelor pad, and he sets out to sample all of the hotel’s fine amenities. Only the cat isn’t really blind, and of course Jerry finds time in his busy schedule to provoke him just before disappearing into his new digs, the fabulous Royal Gate Hotel. Jerry is a mouse, newly arrived in Manhattan, and while apartment hunting he comes across a blind, keyboard-playing cat busking in Central Park. Corey Arnold, whose cropped image of a raccoon in the middle of the street appears in our banner and he got all humpy about it.Did you ever wonder how Tom met Jerry, and why it was hate at first sight? Well too bad, this movie’s going to tell you anyway.Unfortunately their lawyers didn’t realize that Trademark Infringement does not extend to parodies, and that unicorns don’t really exist. See, NPB owns the trademark “The Other White Meat” in the U.S., Canada, and the European Union. We are writing to you in connection with your activities at the website, wherein you have been marketing a product called “Radiant Farms Canned Unicorn Meat” using the slogan “Unicorn- the new white meat.” “This law firm represents National Pork Board in connection with its intellectual property rights. On, the international law firm of Faegre & Benson faxed the owners of the Think Geek website a 12-page letter, excerpted below. I’d never heard of the National Pork Board, but apparently they sniffed out a clear case of trademark infringement. But there’s an update to the innocent prank. The Unicorn Meat advert went semi-viral after it was posted on April Fools’ Day this year. Here is the full advertisement from Think Geek: jpg image of the infamous Unicorn Meat (as shown below left).
