Freshly minted employee Kayla (Chloe Grace Moritz) has the unenviable task of getting rid of the rodent that has everyone squirming and screaming. The prestigious hotel is going to e the venue for a high profile wedding between Preeta ( Pallavi Sharda) and Ben (Colin Jost) and the owner DuBros (Rob Delaney) finds himself at his wits end. Kayla ropes in Jerry to do the annihilation and all hell breaks loose…as expected.

Tim Story’s stylised animation character study does well to develop a childish source of glee that also taps into nostalgic reminisces of adults. While the funny slapstick moments are not the riotous we remember from yore, they do manage to keep you tickled and reminiscing about the good old days of clean-cut harmless crash-bang competitiveness that kept the laughter flowing. The creatively rendered animation mixes well with the live action, allowing for an uninterrupted flow of jousting, jostling and a fair it of hysterics.
