The movie is a Tom and Jerry cartoon.
You aren’t supposed to like them, you’re supposed to enjoy watching the ridiculous ways they bounce off each other as they are forced to cooperate.

Thank you for this. I used it to explain it to my spouse today. It did help. I remember liking Tom and Jerry, quite a lot, and I never did take them seriously. This was a good perspective for me.

In Bruges or any of the Guy Ritchie movies starring Jason Statham fall into the same style, but are generally better executed I think.
