Although at first glance it looks like a movie dreamed up by a marketing committee (and in some respects it probably was), Space Jam actually defies the odds against it to become a dazzling display of family entertainment. There's a kind of demented genius to the idea of casting NBA superstar Michael Jordan in a live-action and animated movie costarring the beloved characters from Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes cartoons. They play off each other like seasoned veterans of vaudeville, and Jordan never falls into the kind of awkward, amateurish showmanship that you might expect from a sports idol. He's comfortable in the cartoon land of his costars, who include Bugs Bunny and sexy newcomer Lola Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Sylvester & Tweety, Speedy Gonzalez, the Tazmanian Devil, Foghorn Leghorn, and Yosemite Sam. They've all been hijacked to an outer-space amusement park run by the Nerdlucks, who strike a Faustian bargain with the Looney heroes: if Bugs and Co. can defeat the Nerdluck "Monstars" in a basketball game, they'll win back their freedom; if they lose, they'll be doomed to stay there forever as enslaved entertainers. So they kidnap Jordan as their coach and "secret weapon" while the nefarious Nerdlucks suck out the basketball skills from such stellar victims as Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing. It all leads to reckless abandon on the basketball court, and Bill Murray pops in for some hilarious support. Combining traditional animation and computer-generated Nerdlucks with its live-action cast, Space Jam was made in the anarchic spirit of the Looney Tunes cartoons, where anything goes as long as it's funny and off-the-wall (or the ceiling, or the door, or the floor...). Technically astounding, it's also witty enough to entertain adults and kids alike. --Jeff Shannon

 Okay but not great. February 16, 2010
WabooseKid (Heartland, USA)
I had fond memories of watching this movie several years ago and wanted to purchase it for my library. When I recently reviewed it, I used the subtitles which took a lot of the luster off the film. I have to rate is as mediocre and caution kids from using subtitles as the conversations are more adult than fun. Also, the story line was not as entertaining as my memory told me it was.
Fun movie February 12, 2010

Really fun movie for my basketball fanatics. Combines my son's hero, Michael Jordan, with some of his favorite cartoon characters.

"faye"
I could not find this in stores anywhere. I found it on Amazon for a very inexpensive price. The quality of the tape was good and the time it got to my address was really fast. Since it arrived my son watches it every day. The seller was correct in the description of the product. Will by from them at anytime.
Space Jam (Two-Disc Special Edition) January 26, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Swackhammer, owner of the amusement park planet Moron Mountain is desperate get new attractions and he decides that the Looney Tune characters would be perfect. He sends his diminutive underlings to get them to him, whether Bugs Bunny & Co. want to go or not. Well armed for their size, Bugs Bunny is forced to trick them into agreeing to a competition to determine their freedom. Taking advantage of their puny and stubby legged foes, the gang selects basketball for the surest chance of winning. However, the Nerdlucks turn the tables and steal the talents of leading professional basketball stars to become massive basketball bruisers known as the Monstars. In desperation, Bugs Bunny calls on the aid of Micheal Jordan, the Babe Ruth of Basketball, to help them have a chance at winning their freedom. Space Jam is a very enjoyable movie featuring probably the most popular cartoon characters ever. Space Jam has all the humor of the classic shorts that made us love Bugs, Daffy and all the rest. This is a must for children and adults.
