Product Description
Michael Jordan is "recruited" from his baseball team to help the Warner Bros. characters defeat a group of aliens in a basketball game where the stake
Amazon.com
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

 A new generation of fans August 26, 2010
D. Paul (Fox Lake, WI USA)
I remember watching this movie when it came out in 1996. My 4 year old son found it in an old pile of VHS tapes and was instantly hooked. He loves the looney toons, and eventhough he has no knowledge of who Michael Jordan is, loves him too. The movie is good for both kids and adults and I have enjoyed watching it again with him. Kids will enjoy the humor by Bugs, Daffy, and all the other characters. Adults will like the 90's themed jokes as well as the cameos by Bill Murray, Larry Bird, and the other NBA stars that we grew up with. We'll need to buy the DVD because I'm afraid the old VHS tape is going to break. If you want a movie that multiple generations can watch together, then I highly recommend this movie.

I bought this movie for a friend so I don't know what the movie is like. I am not interested personally in these kinds of movies. My friend rates this movie a 5-star.
