Overview: Jokes fly as the Tune Squad takes on the Nerdlucks in a hardcourt game to decide if the Looney Tunes remain here... or become attractions at a far-off galactic off-ramp called Moron Mountain. The Nerdlucks have a monstrous secret weapon: they've stolen the skills of top NBA stars like Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing and become Monstars. But that's not all, folks. The Tune Squad’s secret weapon just happens to be the finest player in this or any other universe. He's outta this world. So's the fun.

Full Review Page

I can only give them credit for having balls (metaphorical testicles, not basketballs). When it came out, I can only assume people saw it for either the basketball or the Loony Tunes and I really don't see how either could not be disappointed. If you were hoping for a Michael Jordan showcase filled with sick B-Ball stuff and a jump-start to a MJ acting career, full stop. I commend Jordan for acting almost entirely against green screens without actual co-stars. His acting is garbage, but he did do a good job of convincing me that he that he is talking to Bugs Bunny and not a tennis ball or whatever they used. Aside from a (way too long) highlight reel at the beginning, there is no real basketball here. The basketball game is just a slapstick cartoon sequence with MJ occasionally popping in for a slam dunk. This would be fine, if it was a Loony Tunes style sequence. Here comes the other issue. Beyond the appearance of Loony Tune standard characters, it doesn't have the charm I expected. It's incredibly watered down versions of tons of characters that never really get to be themselves. Everyone but Bugs gets what essentially amounts to a prolonged cameo. They also insert a brand new character in Lola Bunny, who really serves no purpose other than to tap that 90's Spice Girls "Girl Power" movement. She can't even be considered a love interest for Bugs because she's barely there and they barely interact. The plot is sloppy and and the 1990's CGI looks terrible now. The only way I can see anyone honestly enjoying this movie is through nostalgia goggles. Wayne Knight and Muggsy Bogues are the only people who did a good job in the entire film. Unless you are having 90's withdrawal and loved the film as a kid, stay away.
