This is a great Basketball Movie, including that it has Daffy Duck and the Looney Tunes. It even has a great on-screen cast: Michael Jordan, Obnoxious ol' Bugs Bunny, Wayne Knight (who almost looks like Jason Alexander in "Seinfeld,") Theresa Randle, Larry Bird, Bill Murray, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Muggsey Bouges. I give it ***** (5 out of 5), and THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

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.

I can't remember why I bought this movie in the first place, I think it was an impulse purchase a few years ago in the hopes that it would entertain my 4 year old. Years later we still have the movie and now I want to get it on DVD for my other toddler. I am no Warner Brothers fan nor a Michael Jordan fan, but I thought this movie was great and my little girl still likes to watch it. She would pick this film over Cinderella any day. If you are into super analyzing a film, comparing it to other Looney Tunes and expecting Shakespeare out of the actors, then yes, you will always find something to complain about. As for those who would prefer to watch Cartoon Network over this, then consider that when reading how they rated this movie. This is way beyond and above what Cartoon Network would offer. If you can just sit back and enjoy a film for what it is, then you will like this, I don't see how anyone can not find it amusing, albeit it does have a slightly offbeat sense of humor to it. The addition of Bill Murray was the best part, his deadpan acting and view of reality provides the most laughs. The songs are great, we HAD to get the soundtrack to it also. This is one movie that will stay in my collection, and it is certainly not just for little kids. WATCH IT!!

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.

Air Jordan and the Heckling Hare? Couldn't work.....could it? Leave your cynicism about merchaindaising at the door, because Space Jam accomplishes something that The Flintstones Meets The Jetsons, or other such fare, could never achieve. First, for such a goofy concept, the film is remarkably grounded in reality, and some of the best scenes are about victimized NBA players dealing with no talents; add to that the implications of Jordan's experience with the Looneys affecting his chosen sport. Performances are dead-on, and Michael is as properly laconic an actor as he is a player. Finally, the key to this is the Looney Tunes themselves - it's their first foray into true feature films. Thankfully, each character (especially Bugs and Daffy, and those two ought to be) are complete in character as they were in the 40s and 50s. Seeing Bugs get equal billing as the live-action star is beyond promising; it's a reminder that Bugs Bunny has possibly meant more to Americans than a great deal of actors, writers, and directors combined. People will pass on, but the "mild-mannered forest creature", as he himself would put it, will live on into eternity.
