Swackhammer (Danny DeVito), an evil alien theme park owner, needs a new attraction at Moron Mountain. When his gang, the Nerdlucks, heads to Earth to kidnap Bugs Bunny (Billy West) and the Looney Tunes, Bugs challenges them to a basketball game to determine their fate. The aliens agree, but they steal the powers of NBA basketball players, including Larry Bird (Larry Bird) and Charles Barkley (Charles Barkley) -- so Bugs gets some help from superstar Michael Jordan (Michael Jordan).

Critics Consensus

While it's no slam dunk, Space Jam's silly, Looney Toons-laden slapstick and vivid animation will leave younger viewers satisfied -- though accompanying adults may be more annoyed than entertained.

Quentin Curtis

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Here we have the reliance on special effects, the mixture of cheap moralising and confected mythology that passes for a plot, the triumph of merchandising over art.

Independent (UK)

Space Jam is nothing if not a product made by men who gauge a film's success by how many soft toys it spawns.

This isn't Looney Tunes, it's Sloppy Tunes.

Sunday Mirror (UK)

Not even state-of-the-art technology can stop this vanity project turning into a shameless parade of product placement and backslapping -- not to say endless high fives.

Space Jam is quite the ride, and a mostly good one at that, with its insane story, blending of live action and animation, and great soundtrack

Since my childhood days, I have wishing to see this movie at a theater, but today was my lucky day to have my wish come true. Boy, it was nice to see a movie from the late 1990's in this decade, especially with a combination of live-action and animation put together.

Even though it's a bit of an headscratcher at times with it's logic and some of the jokes are hit and miss, this movie will leave you entertained enough for a future rewatch. especially if you're an Basketball and Looney Tunes fan, this is definitely worth a watch.

Space Jam is a solid movie. It starts slow by maendering through MJ's life after leaving basketball to play baseball (yuck!) The story doesn't really progress until MJ goes to Looney Tunes Land. Once there, the movie continues to meander with oddly voiced characters until the turning point of the movie: Lola Bunny. Something happens when Lola Bunny appears, the movie gets better. Every scene she is in is great and she should have been in it more. There's something about Lola Bunny that makes me want to watch the movie again, only her scenes though.....okay, I think I just discovered something about myself. I think I find Lola Bunny attractive. Is that okay? I mean people find Lara Croft and Jessica Rabbit attractive but they aren't real. I need to really explore this to see how far this goes. Oh yeah....the movie ends up being quirky and fun.
