Summary: Low Expections, High Results
Review: Nonstop fun and action from beginning to end. Steve Martin was incredible. He makes a better Dr. Evil than Mike Myers. And on that note, if you were an Austin Powers fan, you will definitely love this. I just don't understand why this movie did not receive the praise it deserved when it was released? This film is one of my favorite films of all time, right up there with Shrek.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not What I Was Expecting!
Review: Let me ask you somethin...Have you ever seen a good remake of Looney Tunes. Well I had not. I had a choice for my birthday to either see Back in Action or Love Acually. I chos love acually because Warner Bros. has not struck gold w/ Looney Tune Movies since Space Jam and boy did that stink! I went ahead and bought it on DVD because I an a freak. However when I saw this I was amazed. It was Halarious: Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny were classic together. Steve Martin (Mr. Acme) was totally priceless and unperdictable. Wiley C. and the Road Runner even had a good seen. The Movie was also well thought up, the plot was nuts, and Brenddan F. was perfect! The movie altogether was PERFECT. I thought I was watching the looney tunes BACK IN ACTION! By the way Yosemeti Sam was real funny!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So funny
Review: When I got this movie I really didnt think it would be that great, but when I watched it I dont think we stopped laughing once from beginning to end. If you grew up watching and loving loony toons then this is the movie to buy!

Summary: My Favorite Looney Tunes In The Worst Film Ever
Review: I had such high expectations for this film, which is probably why I was so disapointed in it. It could have been so much better. When Warner Bros. fire Daffy Duck, he runs off with a security guard(Brendan Frasier) to save his father from the evil head of acme(Steve Martin). Bugs Bunny and a studio executive(Jenna Elfman) venture out of Hollywood to bring back Daffy. It all turns into a quest for a crystal that can control the world. The plot is wacky and fun, but somehow, there are all kinds of holes and moments where the story isn't moving at all. The effort needed to pull this film off was not applied.

The DVD treatment is better than this film deserves. A new short and deleted scenes are the highlights. I recomend "Who Framed Roger Rabit" instead of this film.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: an interesting yarn
Review: Looney Tunes:back in action is a family film combining live-action (starring Brendan Fraser, Jenna Elfman, Steve Martin)animation (Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Yosemete Sam and more). The basic plot is that Daffy has been thrown out of Warner Bro's and must be rehired, meanwhile he's teamed up with security guard, Fraser) in order to rescue the guard's father from certain death!

I enjoyed this film. I won't spoil any of the jokes for you but watch out for Timothy Dalton's charecter, it's very amusing how it's done.

My favourite scene was with all the aliens attacking, you'll recognise beasts from such films as "robot monster", the brain creature from "this island earth", and even my favourite Daleks put in an appearance. Any film with Daleks in it is great in my book!

Very entertaining family friendly film.

Summary: Overrated and Boring
Review: This movie is a good movie people said? Well, this is one of the stupiest movie I've ever seen. Especially if you have watch SpaceJam, it was a good movie but this one Back in Action, a huge disappointed more like it. For crying out loud, what or where is the plot for this movie at all? Well, there isn't really one. A lot of things in the movie was trying to be funny but it was only making the movie more stupid than it already was. At the begining of the movie was kind of funny but from that point everything is pretty much stupied and boring. Some part of the movie was not even making any sense either. If this is a good movie then I suppose I can make a movie too without a plot and without making any sense.

I can't believe people like this movie so much. Overall this movie is overrated but then movie like this is getting worse and worse each year.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This aint no stinka' Doc! *munch munch munch*
Review: This is a movie that suprised me! I wasnt expecting it to be at all great when I first heard of it, and when it came out, it wasnt sending out any vibes at all for some reason? And when I watched it for the first time I was plesently satasfied with the outcome of this film!

Who Framed Roger Rabbit has been a personal fav. of mine since it came out. And tho this movie is in no way near as great as that one. This one should not be missed tho! There have been alot of shocking "live action" + "animated" or whatever it is you call these type of films like Rocky & Bullwinkle, but this movie is actually pretty darn good!

The plot is pretty much, Daffey Duck gets fired, and so does Brendan Frasers charactor "D.J" who is a security guard, trying to be a hollywood stuntman. Seeing as how Daffy cause's D.J to be fired, he kind of follows D.J home. Uninvited of coarse, And D.J's father happens to be a huge hollywood action star, and also a secret agent. Played by Timothy Dalton who is once again a James Bons type of charactor which is good to see a sort of reprised role! His father gets kidnapped and D.J finds himself with Daffy Duck on a wild goose chase to find a bunch of spy stuff to help his father out! And Jenna Elfman plays somebody and she is about to be fired from "Warner Studios" because she was the one who fired Daffy. So she has the weekend to get Daffy back for the WB or shes fired. So her and Bugs set out to find Daffy!

Daffy and D.J are on the hunt for an item called the Blue Diamond. And of Coarse the bad guys, ACME, are chasing them because they want that diamond for there own dioboticle schemes which you will have to watch the film to find out what it is! The head bad guy is played by Steve Martin and i have to say, without a doubht, its the crappest role he's ever played! He is one of the few things that brought the movie down! Not that i have anythign against Martin, he is a funny guy; just not with this charactor he plays!

Not every Warner Charactor is in the movie. But it features most of the classic ones! Bugs - Daffy - Marvin the Martion - Wyle Coyote - Yosemite Sam - Fog Horn LegHorn - minimal appearences by Tweety - Granny - Sylvester - Tassie Devil - and if you dont blink at the right time, you will see Speedy Gonzalos - Porky Pig - Ralph - The singing Frog - Road Runner - and even Shaggy and Scooby make a small appearence! and a few others that slip my mind right now. .... guy dressed as Batman and the batmobile if your intrested???

This movie even for me was fun, so its not just for the tiny totts! It features some of the classic warner gags that made us laugh (if you liked the looney tunes stuff that is) this movie is worth at least a rental before beeing dissmissed.

The bonus features could have been a bit better. It shows a behind the scenes of the movie. Daffy and Bugs sitting in a thatre watching the deleted scenes, a few that wernt even finished ect... and some other stuff. I must say the new warner cartoon of "Road Runner and Coyote" lacks the comedic genious that the original Warners came up with. So this movie really is suprisingly good. But the bonus features drag it down, and Steve Martins acting is the worst! but ignore that, and its not a bad movie!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Underrated but extraordinary
Review: The beauty of Warner Bros. cartoons is in their ability to make fun of the audience before they even realize it. This is apparent not only in the old animation shorts, but in shows as recent as Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs, and it is what holds this movie together. The amount of hidden jokes and references in this film makes it intelligent enought for adults to watch as well as kids. It can appeal to all audiences, from those who grew up watching Silly Symphonies to those who grew up watching Pinky and the Brain to those who are not grown up at all. Looney Tunes: Back in Action ultimately proves why Warner Bros. cartoons have always been the wise-cracking, subversive, sick-humored flip side of animated entertainment.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "What's Up, Doc?" It's Pretty Delightful Animation Spoof
Review: "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" features two kind of actors: from animation world, ever beloved Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Tweety & Silvester, and many, many other familiar characters you might have seen somewhere like on Cartoon Network. Oh, and humans are first-rate, too: Brendan Fraser, (very lovely) Jenna Elfman, and Steve Martin with his nerdiest performance in this decade.

Like ground-breaking film "Roger Rubbit," the animation characters are living next to us, some of them working for Warner Brothers studio. Discontented Daffy is, as ever, playing a silly role for the super-star Bugs Bunny, whose ego is as big as some human in Hollywood. Then, things happen. Daffy is fired by Jenna Elfman's character (don't ask me why), and hits the road to Las Vegas with Brendan Fraser, whose daddy (Timothy Dalton, self-parodying his 007 image) is kidnapped by megalomaniac company owner Steve Martin.

The plot is non-existent (I tried to summerize it, but it only ends up with a very silly synopsis, as shown above). In short, it is like "Spy Kids" in which crazy things happen around the characters, animation and human alike.

The director is Joe Dante, which means the film is best enjoyed as spoof. In other words, the film depends more on the cameos and amusing references to other films in the past, than on the original gags themselves. In the Warner studio, you see they are shooting a Batman movie (with Batmobile, of course), but the film is directed by Roger Corman, king of B movies in the 60s. Now if you don't get it ... what can I do?

Or see the "Area 52" (not 51) section, in which you see countless references to the Sci-Fi films in the past. There, Robby the Robot is talking! Here, Derek of "Doctor Who" is walking! That's the way of Joe Dante, whose film "Matinee" parodied William Castle, the king of gimmick.

There is more to the film, and it does not forget the younger viewers, but the gags themseves are not something you can call great. Probably the pre-teens would not understand why Bugs Bunny should cry and lie in a shower room that way in a Hitchcock spoof.

Still, it is delightful to watch the cameos, including Matthew Lillard (who is talking to his counterpart in "Scooby-Doo"), Ron Perlman, Joan Cuzack, Peter Graves, Michael Jordan, and Heather Locklear. Plus you see these funny animation characters including that Coyote (this time chasing not Road Runner) and many others.

This is no Chuck Jones nor Tex Avery. If you want the wacky humor of these masters, see their original animations. "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" succeeds as spoof of them, and as such gives much fun to the fans.
