Stupid But Entertaining

Rating: 5/10 (17 May 2014)

Michael Jordan and assorted Looney Tunes cartoon characters play against aliens in a game of basketball. Adapted from an unpublished Shakespeare play, I believe. Surprisingly, Jordan's acting is pretty good. It's all the more impressive considering he's acting opposite nothing but green screen most of the time. Bill Murray is great in his small part but that's no surprise. As for the Looney Tunes characters: as with most modern versions of them, they are pretty lame. They lack the edge and humor of the classics. Not to mention the voices are weak. The addition of a new politically correct character, Lola Bunny, is insulting on several levels. Cynicism and nitpicks aside, it's an innocuous and enjoyable little bit of fluff. A couple of nice songs, too.
