Summary: I personally think it's a good family film.
Review: If you want a good family film starring Michael Jordan and the looney tune characters, I think this is it. A little silly but that makes it interesting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A funny film
Review: If you're a fan of the Warner Bros. cartoons,basketball,or golf,this film is for you. Basketball great Michael Jordan stars in this half-animated feature. At a basketball game,we see Bugs Bunny,Porky Pig,Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd in the audience. To the best of my recollection,Bill Murray and Danny DeVito have cameos in the golf scene(s). We also see Pepe Le Pew,Wile E. Coyote,Road Runner and Speedy Gonzales in this film. The featured song in this film is R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly",which was on hit parade in the fall of 1996 when this film was released.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Reminiscence Film For The 40's And 50's
Review: Let me start off by asking, why does everyone like Bugs Bunny? I personally hate him. Daffy Duck (who is repeatedly smashed in this film) always made me laugh much more.

Now that that's out of the way, the movie itself, is a bit shady on the plot, but offers good fun for kids. The characters are well-animated and the voices are (although not perfect) pretty close to the original Mel Blanc versions. Michael Jordan's weak acting is not helpful to the enjoyment of Space Jam, but he's a basketball player, not an actor so it's understandable. Wayne Knight (Newman from Seinfeld) adds some more fun to the whole thing and manages a nice (small) amount of time onscreen.

Overall, Space Jam is a good movie for kids but adults who share my same feelings about Daffy Duck should be mildly disappointed. Be warned: the rabbit steals the spotlight once again.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A big dissapointment!
Review: Let me start this conversation by stating that this movie was an utter failure. When me and my friend decided to see this movie a few years back we thought we were in for some totally insane comedy by the Looney Tunes cast. Boy were we wrong. This movie was not good. I gave it two stars because it had a few suprising cameos in it like Bill Murray that were actually funny. This movie degrades the image of Bugs and the rest of the Warner Bros. cast. As i remember that in the cartoons most of the characters were afraid of nothing, no matter what size and they could overcome any obstacle. On this movie the cartoon character you grew to love has been degraded into crying little babie that cant outwitt a bunch of martian idiots. How lame! Bugs Bunny, the cartoon character that was know for his talent to out witt all that try to get him couldnt even stop them. Why would they nee the help of an over the hill basketball player, Michael Jordon, when they are cartoon characters that can do anything they want. I once thought that cartoon characters were unstoppable- not anymore. I hate this movie. It goes against everything you grew to love in your childhood. Maybe your children will like it. The original cartoons will always be the best no matter what tries to out do them. Thank you for your time.

Summary: Jordan does a slam dunk with a classic!
Review: Man I have so many great memories of the days during most of the 1990s when the Chicago Bulls were the ultimate NBA basketball team and that I myself enjoy playing basketball and have won several basketball competitions when I was in school. To add to this great era in NBA history is a really quirky but absolutely entertaining movie that is called "Space Jam" which brings the NBA legend Michael Jordan onto the big screen for the first and only time as of writing this review.

In the case of this, Michael Jordan plays himself but as a golfer with a peaceful life with his family. However, his peaceful life is suddenly interrupted when he is pulled through a golf hole while trying to retrieve the golf ball and finds himself in the world of Looney Tunes. The characters from The Looney Tunes are in grave danger. A gang of vicious cartoon aliens from outer space have taken over the cartoon world and the Looney Tunes, striking a deal with them, decides that their fate will be decided through challenging the aliens to a basketball game. If they lose this game, the Looney Tunes are doomed to becoming slaves to the alien race for the rest of their lives by telling the same jokes every night to entertain their race. Realizing what's at stake for them, Elmer Fudd, Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, Tweety Bird, Pudgy Pig, Tasmania and the remaining Looney Tunes cartoon characters call on the aid of Michael Jordan to challenge the aliens to this basketball game. The aliens make things a lot more complicated when they steal the basketball skills away from several 'real life' NBA basketball players rendering the players almost inept at NBA games and the aliens grow from mere small annoying creatures into gigantic troll-like beings who call themselves the "Monstars" as a basketball team and the newly grown aliens are just about experts at basketball due to them draining all the skills away from the 'real life' NBA basketball players. It's a lot at stake as the Looney Tunes are far disadvantaged against the formidable "Monstars" basketball team. With the help of Michael Jordan and cameo appearances from Wayne Knight, and Bill Murray, the basketball game will decide the fate of the cartoon world's future.

"Space Jam" I think is one of the most brilliant movies that came out around this time (Around in 1996) during the Chicago Bulls at their heights in the history of the NBA and "Space Jam" blends the glory of this time and combines it with the Cartoon World in the greatest live/cartoon hybrid movie since "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" from eight years before then. This may have been Michael Jordan's only stab at acting in movies (at least at the time of writing this review) but Jordan was absolutely amazing in this movie and showed that he was absolutely capable of great acting. I also loved seeing "Seinfeld" actor Wayne Knight also play for the Looney Tunes basketball team against the "Monsters" team as well.

My favorite of the Looney Tunes were Bug Bunny and Tasmania whose eccentric cartoon characters really added so much fun, and humor to the movie. Bugs Bunny was so funny and witty and Tasmania's sometimes feral personality was absolutely a riot. I actually didn't care much for Lola Bunny a whole lot. The movie went on to become a smash hit and deservedly so because it's one of the best movies of the mid to late 1990s. I haven't been a major fan of the Looney Tunes on a historic note either except for Tom and Jerry but man, even the Looney Tunes characters were absolutely a riot in this movie. If you can, I would also recommend the soundtrack to this movie as well as it has all the fun that the movie itself has, and this is taking into account that while I have had a very intense dislike for most modern day rap music, the rap on the soundtrack is fun and excellent. Man do I wish there was another movie that blended cartoon styles with live action movie footage the way "Space Jam" did but at least where it stands, "Space Jam" is up there with "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" as the best live/cartoon hybrid movie of all time.

If you can find it, I say get a hold on the 2-disc collector's "Special Edition" as the edition carries a lot of cool extras on it and has much better sound and visual quality than the VHS edition. I've watched the VHS version countless times and wore it out as a result a long time ago and went for years without seeing it so I replaced it with the "Special Edition" DVD and let me say, it's worth every penny. If you love basketball-themed movies, then this is the movie for you but anyone who wants loads of fun and entertainment along with intelligence, wit and smart craftsmanship will find much on "Space Jam".

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: An embarrassment for all concerned
Review: Michael Jordan has trod upon sacred ground by engaging in this blasphemously horrible movie. In his seeming quest for the all-mighty dollar (and you thought he had enough!), he out-mongers even himself by participating in this... film. The worst sin of this all is dragging the likes of Bugs Bunny down with him. A piece of advice for the wary viewer: skip this film and tune in instead to some classic Looney Toons at home.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: it is just great
Review: My sister says she wishes she could give it 5 and 1/2 stars cause she is five and a half years old and she thinks this is just the best movie in the world! We are going to go watch it now.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie!
Review: My son is 7 and he usually watches a dvd once and has no interest in watching it again. Not with this movie! He watches it over and over again and really enjoys it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "Is he a Looney Toon?"
Review: Nope, that's Micheal Jordan one of the best basketball players on Earth (and in the cartoon world)

Micheal Jordon, along with other basketballs stars, are in this movie. Micheal is retired from basketball and he is playing minor leauge baseball. However, Micheal is bad at baseball. Wayne Knight, Bill Muary, Larry Johnson and Micheal go to play golf. It seems Micheal is good at golf, where he makes a hole-in-one shot. He reaches for the golf ball in the hole, when he gets sucked down the hole and into the world of the Looney Toons. There, he meets Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, the Taszmanian Devil and countless others. Bugs Bunny needs help from Micheal to win a basketball game, or the Looney Toons will be slaves on Moron Mountain.

Rating: 5 stars
