This is one of those films I have to ask myself: "why the heck did I watch this crap?". The whole film was awful. From the horrible acting on Michael Jordan's part to the sub-par animation on the Looney Tunes characters, the whole film is one big mess. It makes Looney Tunes: Back in Action (which was not great but was 100x better then this) look like Ratatouille.

I've heard some pretty bad things about this film but I was curious to see if it was really as bad as people said it was... turns out it was.

This is a very short review as there is not much I can (or want) to say about Space Jam.

The worst part of the film is that every character is... out of character and *shudder* "modernized". As Chuck Jone's once said in an interview: "I doubt Porky would ever say 'I wet myself' ". I should've taken Chuck's (bless his soul) advice and just skipped this all together.

And was there a point to Lola Bunny other then the feminist idiots forcing the film-makers to add a "strong female character who's smarter then all the males"?

The voice acting on the Loony Tune's part was pretty good. I though Billy West did a good job voicing Bugs.

Oh yes... Michael Jordan... CANNOT ACT. No no no and no.
The film is nothing more then a big advertisement for Michael Jordon.

Avoid at all costs.
